This all started because I tried a "free" VPN for Kodi, which broke my internet connection on the next boot, so I decided to go ahead with the upgrade to 22.04/32fixes. I had slowly been getting this ready doing all the extra bits before mythtv which probably misaligned the UID's causing more problems. The solution for me came through my pillow. Being unable to edit /etc/resolv.conf to solve the connection issue I was able to edit /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf which did solve my connection problem. Then I did a 31 to 32 upgrade and restored the database from 22.04 and so far all looks well. I will probably wipe the 22.04 install and start over, at my leisure, am I understanding correctly, that if I install mythtv first and then the other bits, kodi, chrome, zoom, etc it would work that way?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Jan 7, 2023 at 6:23 AM James Linder <<a href="mailto:jam@tigger.ws" target="_blank">jam@tigger.ws</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><br>

Some install scripts just use the next available UID, others seem to pick fixed ones from that range, which is one reason we have this mess. UIDs 1-999 can thus be assigned in any arbitrary order to various subsystems.<br>

Mike thanks for comments. I never learn (and will do 100 lines punishment) that debian et al contribute greatly to the chaos by inventing scores of special rules. But in general my post is correct and de-mysifies the chaos, also there are other distros that wont enforce debian's version of the OneTrueWay<br>
