Description

using raspberry pi ubuntu mate wily and installing mythbuntu ppa 0.28.

After launching the frontend, the frontend GUI never appears. The last message in the log is

2016-03-01 15:41:43.414136 N  QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb

With gdb I established that it is in a call to setuid. The code confirms that a call is made to setuid shortly after that log message. After discussing with the developers they recommended to use example code from from https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=16897 This is working and resolves the problem. I will attach the patch
