[mythtv-users] Warning: Do not install nvidia-304.132 package

[F.B. Parker]

Thank you for your reply.

I did this:

----8<----
$ sudo apt-cache policy nvidia-304
[sudo] password for mythuser:
nvidia-304:
  Installed: 304.132-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
  Candidate: 304.132-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 304.132-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/restricted
amd64 Packages
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/restricted
amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
mythuser at mythbackend1:~$
----8<----

And then

----8<----
$ sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia*
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package nvidia_driver_for_liveusb

mythuser at mythbackend1:~$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-304=304.117-0ubuntu1
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '304.117-0ubuntu1' for 'nvidia-304' was not found
mythuser at mythbackend1:~$
----8<----

Same thing.

How best to proceed from here? Help is greatly appreciated!
