Bug Description
Mythbuntu upgraded pretty smoothly from 9.04 to 9.10 RC over the Net.
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.

I found a workaround for the login problem.
I went to the Ubuntu desktop, did a right-click and chose Applications, System, then Login Screen. I changed the setting to automatically login user eric at startup. Now, Mythbuntu 9.10 behaves like my previous 9.04 install did.
I wonder if anyone else had this happen to them during an upgrade from Mythbuntu 9.04 to 9.10?
