I was running 20.04LTS - I had started getting dependency errors, but upgrade to 22.04 which appeared to load (there were 2 or 3 warnings) did not work.
When I start various apps (chrome, VLC, nomacs) the opened window is black. Gradually more screen corruption occurs.
Nomacs says "unable to create a GL context"
Thunderbird, Libreoffice; Text editor ; File manager; scanner - all work fine.

The same thing happened when I tried with Totem package.
so I guess /usr/src/libdvd-pkg/libdvdcss_1.4.3.orig.tar.bz2
needs to be reloaded?
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg
( following the successful fix for another user with the same broken package error)
