Somewhat recently I was reading about x265 (High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)) and noticed it had quite some (space) advantages over its predecessor x264 (Advanced Video Coding (AVC)). I have a large family video collection (which keeps growing) and thought I might save some space and bandwidth, by converting them from 264 to 265. Reading up on my GPU ( 6600 XT ) specifications, it should support hardware encoding! Then my time got consumed by other projects, until…
Recently I upgraded my main Ubuntu system from 22.10 (Kinetic Kudu) to 23.04 (Lunar Lobster). I’m used to having little downtime and only minor issues. The same applies now, except that I had some small issues. Since I can not be the only one, I wanted to share these (YMMV).
pipewire Sound worked fine after the update, except for the volume knob of my Das Keyboard 4 (Ultimate Edition). Controlling the volume via the GUI worked fine by the way.
TL;DR I’m grateful for translations by translators. But translating everything causes icons to break. Ubuntu MATE 20.04 has several broken icons and most of them are fixed in Ubuntu MATE 20.10 already.
Advice: Please do NOT translate the ‘Icon’ text, just leave that translation blank (""). Copy/pasting the English text will cause superfluous lines in .desktop files and might cause additional work later (if the original name is updated, you will need to copy and paste that string again).
