Comment 11 for bug 1836828

A better workaround is to downgrade these packages

libgl1-mesa-dri_18.2.8-0ubuntu0~18.10.2_amd64.deb
mesa-vdpau-drivers_18.2.8-0ubuntu0~18.10.2_amd64.deb

Get them from
https://mirrors.d-l.fr/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mesa/

These are versions packed with the PointRelease 18.04.2 and are just as good as the latest.

Because uninstalling mesa-vdpau-drivers considerably changes the picture quality of Kodi, disabling hw acceleration.

Let's wait for a fix in the next Ubuntu updates.
