I tried the approach suggested to un-check the VNC during install. I was able to do an erase and re-install of Mythbuntu 14.04 then. I did updates including the proposed repository. I then went into MCC to enable VNC. During the install it failed, but also failed to submit the report. After some other work on installing the Ceton drivers and attempting to pair it with Comcast, so far unsuccessful, I disabled (uninstalled?) the VNC and then enabled again. This time it gave no error, but I still do not have a functioning VNC. I cannot connect from Mac OS X Screen Sharing, but I can ssh in.

[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.
