Hi Dallas,
Updates available in -proposed are not fully tested and verified as working. If you have installed all updates available from -proposed you may have installed something that is not working properly. You may find it simpler to erase your hard disk and start again.
Install Mythbuntu with the VNC option unticked.
After the installation is finished and you have booted from the hard disk, install VNC and set the password manually:
Open a terminal (Applications > System > Xfce Terminal) and type the following commands:
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
mkdir $HOME/.vnc
x11vnc -storepasswd $HOME/.vnc/passwd
Install all other updates are you would normally. Do NOT include updates from -proposed.
Reboot.
If you look in MCC it will now show VNC as already installed (Enabled), but don't touch it. It is already working.

I can personally vouch for using the following method as I have used this and I have my Mythbuntu box running in Prod, including a high WAF ;) http:// en.wikipedia. org/wiki/ Wife_acceptance _factor
