Bug Description
Using the automatic mythtv desktop login option, that automatically loads mythtv-frontend I am always prompted that it believes I have no run mythtv-setup previously. I can click "cancel" on this warning and use mythtv-frontend just fine, with no issues. If I do the setup as prompted it makes no difference on subsequent logins - and I am again prompted.
This is annoying as it requires having a keyboard plugged in to click "cancel" as a remote control will not work for me outside of the frontend.
I am not really sure what information is needed to debug/troubleshoot this bug, so please feel free to request whatever information you need to debug this. It sounds like it might be a database value that is not getting updated, or being read incorrectly - but I haven't read the code so have no real idea of what could be causing it.

Can you do this as a temporary attempt to work around this:
Edit /usr/share/ mythtv/ startmythtv. sh
Replace any instances of '~' with '$HOME' (without the quotes).
See if that resolves it ( You should get asked once more, and then that should be it)
