taaz, in Trouble with Handbrake, PopOS and Accelerated AV1

Does handbrake use ffmpeg under the hood? If yes you might want to have a look if ffmpeg can see/use the hwenc.

xyguy,

I’ll check the ffmpeg settings. Thanks.

    Check my new post or comment below, it appears to be a Flatpak issue caused by gtk3. No idea how to fix but I’m getting close to a diagnosis

    WeLoveCastingSpellz, in Gnome completely different and buggy after update (Debian)

    I rhink you might have seitched from x11 to wayland, logout and you can switch back to x11

    Smorty,

    I only have the options “GNOME” and “GNOME Classic”.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    tey the one that you aren’t using

    Smorty, (edited )

    Tried both already. The issue already shows up on the login screen, so I don’t think it’s gnome

    WeLoveCastingSpellz, (edited )

    your system feels like to me its borked on so many ways

    Smorty,

    So many content? You mean so many levels? While searching for the current download link for Debian 12, I really just couldn’t find the right one I think, so I just went for one which had amd64 and gnome in the title. It was for a CDROM, but I flashed that onto some USB.

    WeLoveCastingSpellz,

    I meant so many ways idk how that got corrected to that, fuck

    unar is the free version and should be in Ubuntu

    harsh3466,

    I’ve got unrar installed already, but what I want to be able to do is add/update files in the rar archives, which unrar can’t do.

    Thank you!! I will try that!!

    @Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

    It can only do that with the unfree unrar plugin. Do not expect your distro to ship it by default due to that issue.

    Damn rat files…

    I just opened a nix-shell with unrar in it on aarch64-linux and am able to execute it, so yes, it can be made to work.

    avidamoeba, (edited ) in Upgrade vs Reinstall
    @avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

    It depends on the type of machine you’re talking about. Pet machines, bare metal or VMs, such as workstations, desktops, laptops are generally upgraded because it takes a while to re-setup everything. Cattle machines such as servers are generally recreated. With that said, creation of such machines typically involves some sort of automation that does the work for you. Setup scripts are the very basic, however configuration as code systems such as Ansible, SaltStack are much preferable. So if I had a VM that runs acme.sh, I’d write an Ansible runbook that creates it from a vanilla OS installation. I stop here for my own infrastructure. When we do this in cloud environments where we need to spin up more than one such VM and quickly, we’d have the OS install and Ansible run in a Jenkins job which builds a VM image that’s pushed to the cloud. Then we spin up ready acme.sh VMs from that image which takes seconds.

    Can 7zip unrar? That’s my go-to form anything compression.

    Fisch,
    @Fisch@lemmy.ml avatar

    Yes, it can

    Atemu,
    @Atemu@lemmy.ml avatar

    Only with the unfree unrar plugin.

    harsh3466,

    Unrar isn’t the problem though. I’ve already installled unrar to read the file in the rar I need to modify.

    What I was looking for is rar so that I can modify the text in the file and update the rar archive.

    NateSwift, in linux mint became super slow

    It might be worth checking a resource monitor such as top, htop, or bashtop to see if there’s a process using way more resources than it should

    mobius_slip, in linux mint became super slow

    Was this on a laptop? My Thinkpad running Mint slows down a lot when it’s charging, but as soon as I unplug it, it’s fine.

    that seems like a bug?

    SheeEttin, in I'm an idiot (arm)

    Have you tried building it?

    RAR isn’t open source.

    Idk, in my experience apt is also quite good at removing 90% of my system… apt-autoremove anyways

    Smorty,

    I don’t have any sources files in my /etc directory. My Debian install in general is really weird, since the default apt sources came only with some CD ROM source, which did not work with the Internet. So I had to manually add all sources myself (probably caused some of my troubles…) These are my sources right now

    deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

    I’m assuming these are correct, as they all got that bookworm in them.

    I will try the other options though, thanks!

    Smorty,

    I’m back from trying that reinstall with aptitude, and it keeps getting file sizes wrong. It says, that reinstalling all software will take 0 Bytes. After not finding some sources, it tells me that the unpacked packages will combine to 0 Bytes again:

    “Es konnten keine Quellen gefunden werden” meaning, that it couldn’t find the sources for a specific program. I already ran sudo aptitude update so that is not the issue. Soo maybe I really do need to reinstall the entire system?

    COOL

    I agree with the other comment to beware and look at getting a new drive in case this one is shitting the bed.

    If it were my system I would look for any signs of disk related errors in the logs (likely would show in /var/log/syslog or maybe kern.log).

    Also, did you empty your trash (if you used GUI to kill the files)?

    You verified the disk has free space right? (Via df or whatever GUI tool, maybe disks or the file manager)

    Another thing I might look at out of curiosity is disk io stats. Is the disk swamped with IO for some reason? We’re assuming the bottleneck is disk io but then again maybe something else weird is going on.

    agent_flounder,
    @agent_flounder@lemmy.world avatar

    PS: if the disk fills up after deleting files (with rm) then some process may be the cause. Use the iotop command to show what processes are doing the most reading and writing, similar to top but for io.

    If you haven’t you can also hunt down the biggest directories either with a disk usage analyzer or command line. Cd into whatever to level directly (your home dir) then: sudo du -dk | sort -n

    SheeEttin,

    I would also look at the SMART data and run a test.

    MNByChoice, in Desktop icons not loading

    Have you recently fixed another issue? Perhaps run out of disk space during an update?

    Smorty,

    Naw, I still have a good 100 GB left on my storage.

    Secret300, in I didn't know where else to ask this, if there is another comm i should ask please lmk. Do you have any suggestions for wireless headphones i can use with linux?

    I usually stick with Logitech cause it’s known. I never took the time to research headphones
