[TriLUG] mythtv issue

[Jason Tower]

i installed knoppmyth on my home server and got it working.  can boot 
knoppmyth on another machine and connect to the backend fine.  pretty damn 
cool app (and this is coming from someone with two tivos).

while i was at it wanted mythfrontend on my main laptop (ubuntu breezy) too, 
but there aren't any mythtv 0.19 packages so i grabbed the tarball. 
everything builds fine but running mythfrontend results in zero network 
traffic even though it says it's connecting to the backend server on a 
different host.  tcpdump at both ends shows no traffic at all.  the 
mysql-client package is installed, and i can connect using the mysql 
command.  could this just be a missing dependency during the build that 
wasn't detected, or some other silly little thing?
