Quick update for anyone that comes across this page looking for a solution.
I just discovered that mythtv elevates via gksu and not gksudo. At least on my system. A fix for the various graphical mythtv password prompts on my system was to change the authentication mode of gksu from su to sudo. Launch the config using this command... $ gksu-properties then using the drop down I changed the mode from su to sudo. And off I went to test. All the myth password prompts I can find are now working with my password. More info here and explained much better as well... http://askubuntu.com/questions/48215/password-not-working-in-graphical- applications-gksu-works-with-sudo -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203184 Title: MythTV backend does not recognize valid password: no GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wvdial/+bug/1203184/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
