There was a nvidia update waiting on my ubuntu-jaunty box this morning 
and without thinking twice I actioned it.  Thereafter mythtv stopped 
working completely, cannot get into back or front ends.

I have completely un-installed mythtv and re-installed to no avail. 

Others have reported similar issues

I get the following error message....any help or pointers much appreciated
