I should mention that VLC and "restricted extras" are installed.

I also just found that SMPlayer and mpv can play them, but VLC and "Videos" won't work.

Upgraded to 24.04 and now my meme video snippets (MP4) are just black. Most of them, not all. Sound works.

How do I troubleshoot this?

EDIT: I...

Okay. I will dump this thing and get a new.

The thing is that I do find it to show suspicious slowdowns at times, aside from the weird sound.

Thanks!

Double post.

Never mind. They returned. It just took a while for some weird reason.

I have a 4TB mechanical 2.5" archive drive (aside the NVMe OS drive) with an ext4 partition, and it intermittently rasps now - which it did not do with 23.10, 23.04 etc back to 19.10 or some such.

Just made a clean 24.04 install and copied back ~/.local/share/rhythmbox

My playlists are there, but none of all the stars I have checked in the Rating column to sort which songs I like best.

Oh. Well - thank you for information and patience.

My confusion is cleared up - 23.10 is released (the ISO is right there). It is the update that isn't, due to some bug.

And I take it that...

Okay, now several days have passed, 23.10.1 is released, and "sudo do-release-upgrade" still doesn't work for me.

It has been like this for many releases now. Years. Why is there a week-or-more...

All right, thank you for that answer!

Every new release I get this for many days after the date.

I live in Sweden, is there some delayed release schedule for Europe or something? Even when I set it to download from "Main server"?
...

Aha! Why did I never think of that?

Thanks!

Oh well - I guess I'll just have to swallow the bitter pill and reinstall Windows.
Remove the Ubuntu NVMe to acertain that Windows doesn't destroy the bootloader, spend ages doing updates and...

It is entirely possible that the Window boot files were on the Linux drive. I do not know.

I am quite sure however that my BIOS has been set to UEFI only all this time. I just checked.

Thank you for responding!

Hello

I have two harddrives on this PC, one for Ubuntu and the other for Windows 10, with a dual-boot GRUB defaulting to Ubuntu.

Up until I installed 23.04 this worked fine. Now it just boots...

I should mention this:
Running "sudo gnome-extensions disable ding@rastersoft.com" did not work.

Then I ran "sudo apt install dconf-editor" and after that "gnome-extensions disable...

Yep - seems like DING is the culprit. Removing /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/ding@rastersoft.com cured it.

I should add that the remedy is temporary - the process restarts after a while and begins spamming /var/log/syslog again.

22.04 fresh install. My /var/log/syslog is filled to the brim with hundreds of GB of the same message:

Every one of the dozen bugs I have ever filed in my life just resulted in complete silence. I expect to be ignored.

PC1: Installed Midori via Ubuntu Software. Changed my mind and tried uninstalling it. Failed because there were "no packages".

sudo apt remove midori worked.

PC2: Brave browser stopped working. Crashes immediately on start, with an "Oh snap! Reload?" and a bubble up to the right that says "uBlock Origin crashed, click this bubble to reload".

Instead of filing bug reports and watch them vanish into cyberspace, I figure I'd list the various errors I have so far encountered after one day with 22.04. Feel free to ignore them.

PC1 = fresh...

Not sure what you mean by that.

Let me clarify the situation:

The work PC is a CAD/FEM station that needs performance. It is actually a Threadripper Pro with 128 GB 8-channel RAM.
