OK, I haven't used Myth now in over a year so take this with a grain
of salt. From the log file it appears that your client isn't
connecting to the server which likely explains why you don't see the
programs. I wonder if you've tested connecting to mythconverg manually
via a terminal? Maybe something like /etc/my.cnf or one of the Myth
config files got messed up in the update.

Good luck,
