Your dpkgTerminalLog has the following in it, which indicates that
either mysql is not running, or the password you are using to try to
connect to it is not correct.  If the password in
/etc/mythtv/config.xml is not working for you, there is a suggested
course of action at the bottom of the error message below:

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: mythtv

I don't know what I'm doing, other than trying to get mythtv to actually work. been uninstalling, installing, seem to be unable to start over, somehow it can't connect to database. May just reinstall ubuntu to start from scratch. 

I changed the ip from dhcp to static, and then mythtv started getting weird. It worked initially, then after rebooting it couldn't connect to db. this happened 2 times. 

I want to get back to vanilla, just leave everything at defaults. connect backend as 127.0.0.1 and not change to actual ip for advanced usage, because I don't know enough to change other settings.....
