I'll try again, with the right user name gdm not lxd and add a check
for group lxd:

   sudo find / -user gdm 2>/dev/null | wc
   sudo find / -user gdm 2>/dev/null | tail -5
   sudo find / -group lxd 2>/dev/null | wc
   sudo find / -group lxd 2>/dev/null | tail -t
   egrep "^gdm|^lxd" /etc/{passwd,group}

The goal here is to see if gdm:lxd have any files/directories/etc. in use.
Then move them to new userid:groupid and convert mythtv to the old ids
which would leave everything that MythTV created as it was on the 20.04
system.
