Title:
  10.04 Frontend-only install: no logs are output to /var/log/mythtv

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Fix Released
Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After performing a stock install of the current 10.04 distribution of
  Mythbuntu with a frontend-only configuration, there was no
  /var/log/mythtv folder created (and consequently no logs ever written
  to it), after multiple sessions using mythtv and multiple reboots.
  Other strange symptoms are that the theme that loads in mythfrontend
  is the terra theme rather than the Mythbuntu theme, the first menu
  screen often gets stuck just drawing the background without ever
  showing any of the menu options and then crashing with a (presumed,
  since I have no log) segfault after a few minutes, and if it does get
  past this point and render the menu options, it will crash about 10
  minutes later (still no logs to share with what error it crashes).
  This bug is intended to be about the lack of logging and not the
  crashing (I don't want to start trying to troubleshoot the crashing
  until I have reliable logging) but I wanted to mention the related
  symptoms for context.  The network connection is reliable and it is up
  at the time that mythfrontend is starting.

  This is on a box with an Intel Atom 410PT mainboard using VGA out.
