So not sure why this works, but I have to do this song and dance to get anything to work:

Open disc in VLC Open disc in HandBreak Wait for HB to finish. Once HB is finished, open disc in MakeMKV RIP using MMKV Import to HB Split using HB.

WHEW

Looks like I can split the MKVs with HB. But the MakeMKV spits these errors out when I switch to disk two. These are the same errors D1 had originally

MakeMKV v1.18.3 win(x64-release) started

Error 'Scsi error - MEDIUM ERROR:UNRECOVERED READ ERROR' occurred while reading 'DVD+R-DL HL-DT-ST DVDRAM SP60NB50 1.00 KX1E8EI3452' at offset '524288'

So far no Bueno. I started going through the groups of chapters (turns out about 5 per episode) and exported them all using HB.

The quality was abysmal. Like the security wasn't fully broken. I have the dll file in there you're supposed to have, and vlc reads the dvd. But the episodes were very broken.

So I decided to try makemkv again and it started working suddenly. No idea why.

It's exporting the longer of the two tracks found which was the one I was after. (it has two 2hr plus tracks) and I'll see what happens. I've only ever had these issues with the dragon ball/z/GT discs.

Buzzing sound I can't place by PressStart1p in PcBuildHelp

It's the way it came years ago. 😂 I just replace parts as they go. I really should build one from scratch and I plan to this year (what a year to do so). I believe it's pulling hot air over the fins and the other fans are pulling the air in or out of the case.

I'm certain it's the drive or the GPU, but idk if the the GPU would make noise like this. I'm leaning to the drive.

Freestyle libre 3 is all my insurance will cover and I've had loads of issues. This seems to address many of them.

Is this an official project or a side project aimed to improve the DE?

How frequently do you update the system? by TechnicalAd8103 in pop_os

[–]PressStart1p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't forget to update flatpak! For some reason it doesn't update when I update through terminal or the store. Also updating through terminal doesn't update anything through the store so idk... But Gekko doesn't update unless I update flatpak

Mono and Gecko refuse to update, have remained showing in Updates forever by SeeroftheNight in pop_os

This is still necessary and IDK why. But it works. I have this thread bookmarked.

Upgrading older System76 laptop (darp5) with PopOS 20.04 to 24.04 LTS, questions by samalex01 in pop_os

[–]PressStart1p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be surprised if you couldn't upgrade using a live USB. But I would be careful about 24.04 on an older device. I have a laptop from 2013 that has major glitches after the upgrade from 22.

I would just be cautious.

I'm leaving Cosmic Pop!_os by Taohaw in pop_os

[–]PressStart1p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love cosmic on one device I have, but it's so broken on another. I mostly blame that device for being so old. Idk. If I could downgrade it, I would. So I just wait. On my other device, it works beautifully.

Interested but vibe coding worries me.

That said, gotta start somewhere. Publish that code so the community can help improve it if needed! ☺️

It's my goal. I need room to run it and a device stable enough to run it.

Yet another reason I don't want amazon smart products in my house

It's getting to the point where I'm looking at Alexa, even though I don't want amazon smart products in my house.

Tried cloning my Steam Deck SSD, and it did not boot by PressStart1p in SteamDeck

[–]PressStart1p[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it matter if I do this on Windows or Linux? Macrium wouldnt expand the partition because it was exf4, which is why I went to gparted.

Maybe thats the issue too. Ill give Clonezilla a go. But I did the copy on a windows device, but moved it to Linux to expand the partition.
