Might just run the upgrade in a terminal next time, in case there was a question being posed by the package. We are using xfce as a front end desktop, the logs complained of libgnome2-perl not being present. The update manage has a gtk (dialog box) method of interacting with the user and I know I left it unattended, my 15yr old son was nearby but says he never saw anything.<BR>
I recall responding to the samba questions and kept my current config but nothing else.<BR>
<BR>
So two options, make sure libgnome2-perl is present or do <BR>
sudo apt-get update<BR>
sudo apt-get upgrade<BR>
<BR>
from terminal. <BR>
<BR>
Security wise, I'd suspect for most people their mythbox is not the main computer in the house, so it shouldn't have an interface present to the world. If you're not sure start asking questions here about how your network should be setup. With our linux-only home (ok, sons machine gets a windows game session on a frequent basis) we have one firewall computer, the rest of the network is behind it. So if this is your case also, I think one can tread a little more lightly as to security issues in the mythtv front, I believe you can more safely delay updates if you're doing them "Just to make my system more safe from intruders".<BR>
<BR>
Hope that helps.<BR>
