[Bug 1290460] Re: Mythbuntu Installer Crashes: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mythbuntu_common/vnc.py", line 58, in create_password ValueError: Password should be passed as bytes

 

Looking at the logs in bug 1320439 (testing results), it is the same
error but on line 59 instead of line 58. This indicates that it is using
the new vnc.py, but still failing, so I will mark this as verification-
failed.

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
   * Mythbuntu installer crashes if VNC is enabled
   * Mythbuntu control center crashes if VNC is enabled

   * Mythbuntu does LTS only releases, so we should make sure this is fixed for LTS.
  [Test Case]

   * Run an install with a password >=6 characters.  Check the VNC checkbox.
   * See if install completes

  [Regression Potential]

   * As this is the only function affected by this patch and it fixes both places it's used (installer and control center) I don't see any other regression potential.
