</div></div>There is your problem - Ubuntu 16.04 must be installing 4.15 kernels<br>
now. The 4.15 kernel is incompatible with the 304 drivers (and the<br>
340 drivers too I think). My 16.04 systems were originally installed<br>
when 16.04 first came out, and I have not let them upgrade to the<br>
later kernels by installing the Hardware Enablement Stack packages.<br>
But the version of 16.04 you are installing from will likely be<br>
16.04.5, which has the HWE packages and therefore has 4.15 kernels<br>
now. So if you want to try reinstalling 16.04, you need to get an old<br>
version of it, 16.04.1 I think would be best, that has the 4.4<br>
kernels.<br>
<br>
I would recommend using the Mythbuntu 16.04.1 version from here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/mythbuntu/releases/16.04/release/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/<wbr>mythbuntu/releases/16.04/<wbr>release/</a><br>
<br>
Once you install it, you can let up upgrade all the existing packages<br>
to the latest versions, but do not manually select to install the HWE<br>
packages. Then you will retain the 4.4 kernels. Which are still<br>
supported until the end of support for 16.04.<br>

I will do that after lunch and hold off on purchasing a new video card so I don't have to learn why that doesn't work :-)</div><div><br></div><div>Remember for anyone reading this that didn't start from the beginning. I was perfectly happy with the performance of the hardware I have when running Myth 0.21 on Mythbuntu 8.04. I am just trying to recover from a HD failure.</div><div><br></div><div>Allen </div></div></div></div>
