<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Bad news: computer required a reboot (REISUB done at 17:26 ? had done
the changes and rebooted around 10 this morning). I?m thinking the next
step will be to correct the driver: for some reason the system is using
Nouveau with a NVIDIA GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] card ? just update at
(Ubuntu> Settings > About > Software Updates > Additional Drivers? And
whatever steps in MythTV itself: ...looks like Setup > Video > Playback
? Current Video Playback to one of the VDPAU options ?

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">The way I normally install the Nvidia drivers is to use "sudo
ubuntu-drivers" from the command line. Use "sudo ubuntu-drivers list"
to see all the versions available. The latest is 545 - that is very
new, so best avoided. I am currently on 530/535 - do not install them
as they are buggy. The next previous that I can see is 525, so try
them if they are listed, or 470. They both worked well. So that
would be "sudo ubuntu-drivers install nvidia:525".
Then you will need to change the mythfrontend setup to use the VDPAU
or NVDEC options. VDPAU is still probably best for up to 1080p, but
NVDEC is better (necessary for some formats) if you are playing 4K
files or recordings.

<p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in">And thanks for the
details on why not to choose certain drivers. Have 525 listed so
will install that one later: currently minor crisis needing my
attention periodically. Hopefully the new driver solves the
afternoon black screen issue.</p>
