I can confirm that at least one scenario works. When booting from hard disk with Mythbuntu 14.04 amd64 installed: - enable trusty-proposed - update mythbuntu-common from 0.73 to 0.74 - use Mythbuntu Control Centre to install VNC, including setting the password VNC is installed successfully and the password works after a reboot.
When booting from ISO into live environment: - enable trusty-proposed - update mythbuntu-common from 0.73 to 0.74 - disable trusty-proposed - Use desktop icon to install Mythbuntu the installation crashes with a different error: Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar" Submitted this as bug 1320439, as an easy way to provide details. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1320439 This crash does not happen if VNC is not ticked in the installation options. Is anyone else able to confirm that updating mythbuntu-common from 0.73 to 0.74 in the live environment before installing to hard disk works? I can't figure out how to avoid this crash. If anyone is able to advise how to avoid this crash I'm happy to try testing again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to mythbuntu-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290460 Title: Mythbuntu Installer Crashes: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist- packages/mythbuntu_common/vnc.py", line 58, in create_password ValueError: Password should be passed as bytes Status in “mythbuntu-common” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “mythbuntu-live-autostart” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “mythbuntu-common” source package in Trusty: In Progress Status in “mythbuntu-live-autostart” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Status in “ubiquity” source package in Trusty: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] * Mythbuntu installer crashes if VNC is enabled * Mythbuntu control center crashes if VNC is enabled * Mythbuntu does LTS only releases, so we should make sure this is fixed for LTS. [Test Case] * Run an install with a password >=6 characters. Check the VNC checkbox. * See if install completes [Regression Potential] * As this is the only function affected by this patch and it fixes both places it's used (installer and control center) I don't see any other regression potential.
