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.

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

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.
