There have been a lot of things fixed in mythtv v31.
However, I noticed that on a fresh install of v31 on
Ubuntu 18.04 that the mythtv-setup ask you to logout
after it adds your user to the mythtv group. I still
find the logout doesn’t solve you getting past this
requirement on mythtv-setup.

<div class="">I find I have to reboot, but if that’s the
case, then maybe the instructions should not say
logout???</div>

<p class="">Just tried with fixes/31 on Ubuntu 18.04 with
minimal install in a vm (virtualbox) and logout and
login again works for me, no reboot required.</p>
<p class="">It also worked recently on a daily build of
Xubuntu 20.04 and Xubuntu 18.04 bare metal installs (no
vm).<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">Can you provide any more details on your
procedure ?</p>
<p class="">I install as follows:</p>
<p class="">Install operating system from .iso, make sure
it up to date, usually needs a reboot (kernel update is
likely).</p>
<p class="">add ppa:mythbuntu/31</p>
<p class="">install mythtv</p>
<p class="">run mythtv-setup (either from menu or
terminal) <br class="">
</p>
<p class="">logout</p>
<p class="">run mythtv-setup (again from menu or
terminal).</p>
<p class="">All of the above is done locally.</p>

This sounds just like I did just now but I install xmltv prior
to running mythtv-setup the first time. I also confirmed in
/etc/group that “jim” was in the mythtv after I logged out and
back in.</div>
<div>Still hit me with the need to be added to the group the setup
time I ran mythtv-setup. I ran it from the terminal and there
was a message in the terminal that jim was already part of the
group mythtv. </div>

<div>So who knows.</div>

<p>"...terminal that jim was already part of the group mythtv" is
interesting as it indicates the logout did not happen properly.<br>
</p>
<p>There is an old report relating to this using Ubuntu on 18.04
rather than Xubuntu with xfce (some processes not exiting and
being reused).<br>
