hamish: Perhaps you should read what I really wrote above. This bug is in GDM, which may affect each distribution. Let's remember, Xubuntu is not Ubuntu, and mixing these does make it much more confusing to determine what is really being used. As you state, "it is still broken in xubuntu 11.04 which makes ubuntu an unusable option" is not a valid argument. Xubuntu 11.04 is not Ubuntu, it derived from Ubuntu. Let's attempt to keep these separate. A bug in GDM can affect all distributions that use it. It is still a bug in GDM.

I initiated the upgrade with the command line "sudo update-manager -d". The conversion seemed to go ok. All previous recordings were still accessable, showing the database was ok. After the upgrade and reboot, the first thing I noticed is that, Mythbuntu 9.10 askes me to log in every time as user eric. It didn't do this in version 9.04, before the upgrade. Before, Mythtv launched at bootup and no login was required.
