Mythbuntu 9.10 RC theme problem.

[Stephen Goodey]

Hello, clean install of Mythbuntu 9.10 Release Candidate version 22579, combined front/backend.

Mythbuntu and Supported Themes selected in Mythbuntu Control Center.

blootube-wide is missing? Utilities/Setup, Setup, Appearance, Theme page cycles through :-

MythCenter (Widescreen)
Terra (Widescreen)
Graphite (Widescreen)
Metallurgy (Widescreen)
Mythbuntu (Widescreen)
Mythbuntu (Widescreen) yes twice
Mythcenter.

I thought I'd made a mistake when I saw Mythbuntu (Widescreen) twice, but twice it is. Picking either one does cause the theme to be refreshed.

I don't remember this problem is beta and I was using blootube-wide in beta.

Regards, Steve.

Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket. I've reproduced that Mythbuntu is listed twice (this on a 9.04 upgrade to 9.10, compared to fresh install of reporter). This is due to the symbolic link put in for the Mythbuntu theme rename:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 2009-10-24 21:16 /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu-9.10 -> /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu

Removing /usr/share/mythtv/themes/Mythbuntu-9.10 resolves this issue. The best thing to do would be to select a different theme altogether, then remove the link, then go back and select whichever of the Mythbuntu's is remaining.
While reproducing the above issue, I noticed there are also two different menu themes with the same name (default and Default).
As for blootube missing, it and a few other themes were removed because they were not completely ported to the new user interface.

This bug was fixed in the package myththemes - 1:0.22.0~zrc1-0ubuntu2

---------------
myththemes (1:0.22.0~zrc1-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * debian/theme.stub:
    - Add Replaces for mythtv-common versions before 0.22
      to help people with 0.21 upgrades.
  * debian/patches/01_fast_watch_recordings.patch:
    - Backport from trunk r22605.
    - Since Watch Recordings comes up so much quicker, fixes a broken
      template message during the loading process.
  * debian/control.in:
    - Conflicts for all the old 0.21 themes that can have a tendency
      to break on 0.22 systems. Should ease 9.04->9.10 upgrades.
  * debian/mythtv-theme-mythbuntu.postinst:
    - Don't show the theme "Mythbuntu-9.10" on fresh installs, only
      Mythbuntu. (LP: #459891)
