I just re-ran the install without selecting VNC service - I don't use it anyway.  I think it might be just a 1-click install later in the Mythbuntu Control Centre.

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.
  [Other Info]
