When something with mythbuntu fails, gather info
When a new user sets up mythbuntu, but things aren't working, a lot of things can be the cause. We should assemble a script that will contents of lots of very relevant logs (Xorg, xsession-errors, lshw, and anything else important) to
a pastebin. The user can then come to IRC or post the pastebin link in a channel for more help.

Whiteboard
The initial version of Mythbuntu Log Grabber has been shipped to REVU for 8.10 (Intrepid). It has been directly integrated with MythTV for easy access.

Raising priority on this one because it'd be very, _very_ useful for user support. I'd be surprised if there wasn't a similar project out there so it's likely we can easily recycle code - once we've found a similar project :)
I'm having trouble packaging it, but you can check out the branch and run it that way.
