Yesterday I was adding some cartoon sound effects to a video (strictly shitposting) in KDenLive, and found that the "quickest" way was to mass-add the entire folder into the Project Bin. Which made a huge mess, and I couldn't find a feature in KDenLive to remove unused clips from the bin afterwards. Surely there's a better way to preview large amounts of WAV files before importing.

Asking here because I feel like I know more Linux-heads here:

When I was still on Windows, I had lots of ways to quickly browse through folders of sound effects, with quick previews. Adobe Audition had that nice browser panel with auto-play on click, for example. What's a good way to do that in Linux? I'm on Kubuntu, if that matters.

I was trying Open Cubic Player for this, which wasn't bad but I kept accidentally quitting the program when I wanted to go back to the file picker.

Success at last!

🤞🤞🤞🤞

it is now at the point that it wants me to sudo dnf5 offline reboot - I will want to be there in person for that. excuse me a moment

love when i can tell a hand-off has just been made; the ethernet interface's job is done, now is time for the CPU to do its duty

so now i'm sitting in my Comfy Chair in a completely different room, watching this update go, and also monitoring its vitals with btop in another pane because i fucking can. GOD I love it when I feel like I know what I'm doing

it took me more searching than i feel i should have had to do, but i found a guide to attempt the fedora 43 upgrade from a terminal, so i'm doing that over SSH right now.

turns out that, going by advice i was given by someone else last month, it *WAS* due to wine being installed (terminal was throwing "inferior architecture" warnings and aborting). removing wine-dxvk* with dnf and starting over seems to be progressing.

one reboot later and we're still on 42

what

and as you can see from the vital statistics, Draugr is working as hard as it can

i previously attempted to upgrade from Fedora 42 to 43 on this computer, and found that upon reboot, it was still on Fedora 42.

nothing has really changed here but I'm gonna try it again for no reason.

update day, attempt two
