Re: [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

 

Same here. I think the VNC installer will work fine as long as you set the
initial user's password strong enough but I did not verify.

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.
