Mythbuntu Control Centre Errors when Opening

I've got this problem as well.

Did a reinstall of Mythbuntu standalone front end after a disk crash using the new 16.04 ISO and the Mythbuntu Control Centre is unusable because of this plugin error.

A guess, could it be relying on something that's normally installed with the backend, but gets left out when only a frontend is installed?

This is caused by two things.

1) One of the default plugins in MCC has an incorrect field name from fixes we did to get it working on 16.04. (mythweb_password_combobox in this instance)

2) mythbuntu-bare throws similiar errors.

As a solution, mythbuntu-bare should be removed, since it's never worked great to begin with and isn't being maintained anymore (alternatively, we can try to fix it).

I've split the mythbuntu-bare issue out to https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/1612001 since it's a separate package

As said by Tony, MCC is totally unusable at the moment.
Is it a workaround or a PPA with fixed version available for Xenial users ?

This is the error message I got when I tried to add plugins in MCC:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python/plugins.py", line 145, in toggle_plugins
    if self.mythweb_password_combobox.get_active() != 2 or \
AttributeError: 'MythPluginsPlugin' object has no attribute 'mythweb_password_combobox'

And here is how I fixed it (diff file follows):

$ cd /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python
$ diff plugins.py.original plugins.py
139c139,140
< self.mythweb_password_combobox.set_active(0)
---
> ### JJP: another error waiting to happen?
> self.mythweb_password_combobox1.set_active(0)
145c146,149
< if self.mythweb_password_combobox.get_active() != 2 or \
---
> ### `JJP: This is where it blows chunks because
> ### there is no such attribute 'combobox' --
> ### it should be combobox1
> if self.mythweb_password_combobox1.get_active() != 2 or \

Verified that Jim Poltrone's patch fixes the combobox attribute bug!

Adding a unified diff for easy application with "patch" utility:

    cd /usr/share/mythbuntu/plugins/python
    patch < ~/Downloads/mythbuntu-control-centre-bug-1581971.patch

Restarted mythbuntu-control-centre and error is gone
