using ubuntu 16.04 and MCC,.. although I have found the MCC to be unreliable,.. so this maybe a MCC issue. Question:- is there a default mythfrontend.Desktop file created that may be used with default icon etc already pre-defined. Tx

Ubuntu installs the mythtv-frontend as /usr/bin/mythfrontend.real, creates a symlink for /usr/bin/mythfrontend to a script /usr/share/mythtv/mythfrontend.sh.
This script accepts the command line parameter '--service'.
I you want to change the command line parameters for the mythtv-frontend, you can edit the file
/etc/mythtv/session-settings and enable 'MYTHFRONTEND_OPTS'.
Please read details of the package installation at https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/fixes/29/deb or https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/tree/master/deb
