Fatal error occurred: Linux edition

Post by zeroryouko »

I see over on the Mac forum someone is saying that with version 2.0.0, they're getting lots of "A fatal error occured. MakeMKV will now exit." messages.

I can confirm it's happening with v 2.0.0 on Linux as well. Both with actual Blu-Ray discs and with (successful) MakeMKV backup images. Rolling back to 1.18.4 fixes it right up. I'm not seeing any other messages logged...after a bit of thinking, it just doesn't open the disc or image, and dies.

...And I can confirm that the same thing happened to me with the Windows 2.0.0 version as well, except this time MakeMKV at least tried to open a few titles before crashing almost immediately.

All good here.

I tested with:

Debian stable
Debian testing
Linux Mint 22.3

Plus

Windows 7
Windows 10

DVD/BD/ISO all works. (No UHD stuff here)

I tested it with an Ubuntu LTS Noble Numbat-based distro, and then with an Arch distrobox inside that same distro, and then also with Windows 11. I am still getting the crashes. I am now really curious as to what is going on. :shock:
