Hello all,<br>
<br>
This just happened today. Software updater downloaded and installed new<br>
Nvidia drivers (version 304.132-0ubuntu0.16.04.2) and after rebooting,<br>
mythtv frontend crashes when it attempts to launch.<br>
<br>
The logs are not reporting an error, but here's where they leave off:<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
I am not sure how to debug this, but what I would like to do is look at the<br>
specific options I have set for whether it's using OpenGL or what exactly<br>
it has set for it's settings, but since the frontend doesn't load, I don't<br>
know how to examine my settings.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions?<br>
<br>
Is there a command line option I can give to the frontend to increase<br>
logging relative to it's graphic mode settings?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
<br>
Also, if the answer ends up being to "undo" the latest update... I am not<br>
sure how to do that, so any hints towards that would be much appreciated!<br>
