Drive won't work on Debian

Post by Mewiimii » Thu Nov 14, 2024 3:40 am

I have a LG GH22NS50. It works flawlessly on windows. It does not work on Debian. Makemkv recongnizes the drive, but when I pop in the disc, Makemkv goes into an infinite loop. Debian can open the video and playback is flawless. I can rip the .ISO using the disks program on Debian, but that is less than ideal. Attached is a photo the drive information in windows.

I reinstalled makemkv through the snap command. In the settings app under applications, the new install had the slider option to allow read-write and other settings. I enabled them all and that fixed it.
Is there any way to have makemkv have this menu by standard without having to go through snap to install? Is there a set of commands to enable the same permissions for other users experiencing the same issues?

To obtain a permission settings menu similar to that in Snap installations in standard MakeMKV installations, you can try using other package management methods such as flatpak or AppImage to install MakeMKV. These methods may provide functionality similar to permission settings in Snap.

Debian is not Ubuntu.

No, this is part of containerization. If the contained program itself could decide to write to the root FS, then there would be no point. Effectively you're wanting to give the jail keys to the prisoner.

Yes, I am using debian, not Ubuntu.
How how do you get the slider settings in the GUI menu following the standard installation process or what are the CLI commands to enable the necessary drive permissions?
