PPS: I just had to remove the cache folder.
PPPS: Okay, its's not fixed. Removing the cache is just a workaround. Every now and then Rhythmbox crashes. If I try to play the song it crashed on again, it'll crash again. If I clear the cache I can play it and wait a while for the next crash.
I'm using #RhythmBox as my music library program on #ubuntu and a few days ago it started crashing whenever it tried to process certain music files it could play before.
So whenever those tracks come up in a playlist, or when I try to play them manually or when I try to edit them, the app crashes.
It's probably a lot of files that cause this, but I don't know which ones until I encounter them.
I've had the same issue before on Ubuntu (I think with a different music library program) until the program was completely unusable and I stopped listening to music for many years. I don't want this to happen again.
Any tips?
Ubuntu just announced their targets for 26.04 LTS. Not going in directions I approve.
I'm currently using Kubuntu, and I've got it down to only one snap package (thunderbird)
Is there a moderately stable distro out there using KDE, apt packaging, and NO SNAP stupidity? (The snap installation of krita is effectively useless) I would not mind losing flatpack, either.
I realize that the anti-UNIX abomination that is systemd is probably unavoidable in these benighted times.
@newsgoth
I would try to purge cups (but sure about dependencies) and then reinstall it
This assumes that you have a #Debian based distribution like #Ubuntu, #elementaryOS at al
For rpm base distributions iz don't know the command without looking it up
What's the common wisdom regarding #Ubuntu #Linux and systemd-resolved, dnsmasq, and NetworkManager?
Had a weird thing happen where a #Wireguard tunnel didn't go up but DNS was still trying to connect to the DNS server over the WireGuard tunnel and was failing.
Is there any way to stop the DNS madness? It looks like they're both clobbering each other.

In a few days the parts for my new computer will arrive. I've been running #linux ( #debian and #ubuntu) on my servers and laptops for 20 years, but this'll be the first time I've had it on my primary desktop.
My main concern is game compatibility. I have a Steam Deck, and most stuff runs just fine, but I'm a bit leery of going for one of the fashionable "gamer" distros ( #bazzite et al). I'm thinking of starting with Mint and testing the waters.
Any advice?

@simon_brooke @asllop would be interesting to see side by side for sure
@yogthos Woohoo! following the Jank install instructions for #Ubuntu seems to work fine for #Debian13trixie !

I've installed lein-jank, but it does not seem able (yet) to start a jank repl.
Is there a how-to anywhere for porting a #leiningen project from #clojure to jank?
