[mythtv-users] Mythtv Python Error on build for Ubuntu 24.04

[Ken Mandelberg]

I went ahead and removed

  /usr/lib/python3.12/EXTERNALLY-MANAGED

while I did the install, and that worked. I hope this is unnecessary 
sometime in the future.

Another issue which is not specific to Myth, was the ALSA driver not 
seeing the HDMI audio device. This happened in some earlier Ubuntu 
releases where adding "intel_iommu=on,igfx_off" to /etc/default/grub was 
a workaround. That worked here too.

WIth those two workarounds, I have a working mythfrontend on 24.04.
