I am doing a brand new installation and I also encountered this bug. I am using an ATI Radeon 9800 and all I see is a black screen when the time to setup the backend starts.

What I did but still gave me the black screen:
1. I tried doing the backend setup like this: XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS="1" mythtv-backend
2. I also tried adding the PPA, refreshing the repositories and installing but also gave me the black screen.
3. Disable DRI after the system rebooted.

Will I have to wait for a new release of Mythbuntu in order to install it? Perhaps someone can give me the steps-by-steps on doing this install using the PPA fix described above.

Thanks
