Caused by the VNC plugin installer and acknowledged by Thomas Mashos (Mythbuntu team). http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2014-April/362863.html
The workaround is to install without the VNC plugin ticked and then later install VNC and set the password manually: sudo apt-get install x11vnc mkdir $HOME/.vnc x11vnc -storepasswd $HOME/.vnc/passwd Attempting to install via Mythbuntu Control Centre after the installation has finished causes the same error. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290460 Title: Mythbuntu Installer Crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1290460/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
