#11696 closed Bug Report - General (Invalid)
backend does not recognize valid password: no GUI

Description
Version: mythtv 2:2.0.26+fixes.20121118.340ubuntu1 Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
Dialog that appears after starting setup asks for "current login password," presumably the linux user password. However, using the logged-in system administrator password results in the message "Incorrect password... try again." The same result is achieved by using the current user's mythtv MySQL password and the mythtv MySQL password (85ctLXIf). These passwords have all been verified using MySQL Workbench. Attempting to bypass the dialog by selecting cancel results in the MythTV Setup Terminal, not the familiar GUI.
There is no way to access the backend setup.

FYI: Should anyone encounter this problem.
After further experimentation, starting setup from XTerm using: sudo /usr/bin/mythtv-setup successfully starts the GUI. The notice that the backend processes must be closed appears, but no password request dialog is displayed.
This sounds like a Mythbuntu or Ubuntu issue. MythTV itself does not ask for login passwords. Please ask the Mythbuntu/Ubuntu? team for help.
