</div>The standard mythbuntu mythtv packages are compiled against<br>
nvidia-185-libvdpau. So when you switch to 190 you switched to<br>
nvidia-190-libvdpau, and therefore you have to reinstall myth to a<br>
version that was compiled against that file. You don't have to reset<br>
stuff up. Aptitude should just pull in the packages for you. But if<br>
there is some issue then you are left to figure out if it is the new<br>
driver or because you reinstalled mythtv. It is just cleaner to have<br>
the mythtv packages separated from the vdpau drivers. You can update<br>
drivers that are the same version (ie 190.xx to 190.yy) without<br>
reinstalling myth. But you can't switch between major drivers with the<br>
standard packages without reinstalling mythtv.<br>
