Installing Xubuntu 19.04 on my Thinkpad T430s

I've been using my Thinkpad T430s for game development using the GameMaker Studio engine (GMS). GMS only runs on Windows, though it can produce Linux and Mac OS X files. My desktop computer has 2 drives inside it, a 512GB SSD that I just upgraded from Ubuntu 18.10 to 19.04 and a 1TB drive running Windows 10. I already have both GMS 1.x and 2.x installed on my desktop computer. Additionally my desktop computer has 2 monitors, so it makes more sense that I use it for game development.

I've been uploading some Youtube videos to my @chaslinux account lately, always recording them in Linux. These have all been recorded on my desktop computer - which isn't located in the best place for recording. It makes much more sense for me to record on the laptop, so I'm switching the laptop to Xubuntu 19.04. Actually I should say switched because in the time it took me to start this post to this point the installation finished (actually it finished about 4 minutes before I got to this point).

I mentioned earlier that I already upgraded to Xubuntu 19.04 on my desktop, the only quirk I found, and it's not a bug, is the Xubuntu team have added Blu-ray support to the configuration area. When a Blu-ray is inserted into a computer with a Blu-ray drive it automatically launches whatever media player (parole in this case) is set. This might be cool for most people, but I rip my media using 2 different programs:

Handbrake for DVDs
MakeMKV for Blu-rays

The Xubuntu configuration tool only lets you set 1 program for both types of media, so I've unchecked it from auto-launching parole when media is inserted.

So far I haven't run into any issues with Xubuntu 19.04, it's almost a shame it's a shorter release time. It feels slightly faster than Xubuntu 18.04 or 18.10 but this is probably my imagination and because every machine I run it on at home has an SSD.

Our media encoding process

It occurred to me that I started posting to debugfs as if I just left off from my old domain (a story for another time). I had something in the order of 300 articles on the site so naturally posts on this site don't have the context they had on the old site. When I first started debugfs I talked about the Handbrake command-line script I run on our KODI server to shrink the size of Blu-rays (since they can be huge). I didn't really get into the details of the whole process and I've since changed how I rip and encode media. When I buy a DVD/Blu-ray the first step I take is to back-up the media using MakeMKV. MakeMKV is great for dumping both Blu-ray and DVD content to a .mkv file. I prefer .mkv over .mp4 because I love subtitles and the .mp4 container only lets you "burn" one subtitle into the file. Files in an .mkv container can contain as many subtitles as the DVD/Blu-ray has. I normally rip these on my desktop workstation which has a late 2013 AMD A8-5...

CentOS 4.8 in Virtualbox 5.1.x

Years ago I was part of a project that was developed on and ran on CentOS 4.8. The software we developed was only used in-house so we were able to work around any bugs we found. The development cycle was extremely short, 4 months, considering the end result. While we've backed up the source frequently over the years the software really never got a major facelift. I spent a bit of time over the years making some minor changes (I gave the menu a facelift changing it from rotating gifs to CSS, and made some code changes to deal with a tax shift that happened years ago), but what the project really needs is a major overhaul. One of my goals right from the outset was to open source the project, but this didn't happen because I was simply too swamped with other things to completely audit the code. Also I wanted to simplify the project before exposing it to the world. Initially we based the project on an eCommerce suite (OSCommerce). At the time we were using that suite for an...

That itch to upgrade again - Ryzen 5 2600G?

Lately I've been collecting a lot of movies. Each week Maria and I set a small budget for personal "wants," much of mine has gone to DVDs and the occasional Blu-ray disc. I've been lucky to find some really great deals, but it's got to the point where I'm backed up because ripping all the media is taking more time than I have on evenings and weekends. From what I've read ripping Blu-rays (unless you're also re-encoding them) is entirely dependent on the Blu-ray drive - there's little to be gained by upgrading to a new CPU/motherboard. I use a licensed copy of MakeMKV to rip my Blu-rays. Then I transfer the ripped mkv to our KODI machine and using HandbrakeCLI (the command-line version of Handbrake) to compress the large Blu-ray file to a smaller file. I could compress the file on my desktop, but my AMD A8-5600K APU doesn't have the same power as our KODI machine (which has an i7-2600 and is cooled with a Corsair H60 water cooler). The...
