  1. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    it appears that it is reading the TOC, but then can't copy the data of track 1?

    My copy output was this:


    Copying audio tracks 1-10: start 00:00:00, length 25:53:70 to "mytest.bin"...
    Track...
  2. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    It would be nice to see Brasero give an error message. You may be more likely to see one with the cdrdao command. I decided to check it out. There were several command options, but I used it to make...
  3. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    cdrdao (see the link in post #27 by tea for one) looks like it is a utility that would help in recovery when the TOC has errors. It's new to me and I'm making note of it if ever needed. I suggest you...
  4. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    In your system, you still need them all. We see only vlc uses core18. If you notice vlc updating, the newer version may also switch to a newer core. Then you can remove the unused core18. You can...
  5. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    If it's a good playable CD, then I have only used the GUI ripper/encoders. For example, asunder. It has a preferences dialog with all the encoder settings, like destination, encoding format (mp3,...
  6. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    How it works (to the best of my knowledge):

    A ripper works one track at a time using location information in the CD's table of contents (TOC). If the TOC of the CD is damaged, the start bit of...
  7. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    I used the mount command and saw this line:

    gvfsd-fuse on /run/user/1000/gvfs type fuse.gvfsd-fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1000,group_id=1000)
    Then:

  8. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    Look at the man page of cdparanoia. That has all the options and what they do.
    Or look at cdparanoia --help
  9. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    OK, you got my attention.

    I looked at this just now with a retail audio CD. When inserted in a DVD drive, a lot of reading goes on and "Audio disc" appears in "Places" menu. When I selected that,...
  10. [ubuntu] Re: How to rescue .wav files on the scratched music CD.

    If you have .wav files stored on a CD, then it has a file system and isn't an audio CD (which doesn't). So utilities that read audio CDs will not help here. My guess is that you probably have to use...
  11. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    Also, in your list of snaps, the core snaps like core18, core20, core22 remain installed even if no longer used. On my system, I remove the older ones when possible. If something needs it, it will...
  12. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    So snap is eliminated as a possibility.
    Let's check if you have the .deb version. Run the command below in the terminal, and paste the entire output in code tags. This will tell us if it is...
  13. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    Up to your most recent post, I didn't see any mention that your package is a snap package. Let's find out: Run run command below in the terminal and post the output inside code tags like you did...
  14. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    The versions of snap-store beginning with 41 are named "Ubuntu Software". Find it in your applications. So that's you source for finding new applications to install in Ubuntu 22.04.

    You can...
  15. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    As ajgreeny observes in post #11, it does sound like you must have downloaded some files. If you had used the Ubuntu Software application to install, there would be nothing placed in your home folder...

    You wrote in post #3:


    O.K.
    First question: let's see which "Ubuntu Store" you actually used to install it. Use your terminal, run the command shown below, then copy and paste the...
  17. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    You copied it to a wrong folder. There are two places where .desktop files are detected.
    One is ~/.local/share/applications and the other is /usr/share/applications.
    Ubuntu Software would put...
  18. [ubuntu] Re: Newly Installed Apps do not appear in Applications Menu

    The location you give here for the .desktop file is not correct. It should be ~/.local/share/applications

    [ubuntu] Re: Abour ripping music CD to mp3 files

    If your CD has .wav files that you can access with Files, then it is a data CD not an audio CD. Data CDs have a file system structure (like a disk drive) which can be mounted, read and copied by the...

    [ubuntu] Re: Abour ripping music CD to mp3 files

    The thing about k3b for GNOME users that might give pause is that it is a KDE application, not GTK so you need a lot of additional packages to support it. A simulation on my Ubuntu 23.10 shows I...

    [ubuntu] Re: Abour ripping music CD to mp3 files

    First, a correction about the GUI program Brasero that I mentioned. I had forgotten that it's a burner, not a ripper. It burns CDs or DVDs from existing files, both audio/video files or just data.

    [ubuntu] Re: Abour ripping music CD to mp3 files

    Definitely you want to back them up to computer files. I did it maybe 20 years ago for my large CD collection.

    I would use a GUI application. I think it's much easier to set up the encoding...
  23. Re: Did Snap get Significantly faster in the last year..?

    I notice this too in 23.10. The Firefox snap opens in a fraction of a second - almost instantly, so I am now keeping it to use. Previously, I had been switching Firefox to Flatpak.

    Based on my experience, installing libfuse2 does not cause a problem. My Ubuntu 22.04 system has both libfuse2 and libfuse3 installed:

    [ubuntu] Re: DCONF changes not applying

    The URL you give is for Gnome 3.12 which was a long time ago. Ubuntu 22.04 uses Gnome 42. - the guide stops at Gnome version 3.38. 3.38 was followed by Gnome versions 40 to 45. So the directions...
