Is there a way to force open the iamge anyway some other way or restore them?
Hardware salvaging costs 900 euroshekels and what's really important is the Photos, which seem to be alright according to Darktable (I havent opened every single one of them)

Erm, nope, that's not how it works. Consider that your data are utterly corrupted and opening the files one by one is the only way to check if they are fine.

All the guides for switching back to the Nouveau driver involve simply uninstalling the proprietary driver. I don't wanna do that, as I just wanna temporarily switch between drivers to do some benchmarking. Is there a non-destructive way to switch back to nouveau?

when did you realize linux was a meme and go back to windows?

I can't get anything out of a DVD, which does have real data on it, even when using two different Linux computers (both can read CDs and DVDs).

I copied a VHS to a DVD using this setup: VHS player's video out -> DVD player / recorder's video in -> burn to DVD. With the DVD player / recorder's video out I can watch the video on the DVD on a television, but in
- computer 1 (Arch Linux): "sudo xxd /dev/sr0" = "Input/output error"
- computer 2 (Debian-based): "sudo xxd /dev/sr0" = "" = it sees it as completely empty

I doubt anyone here has experience with this specific hardware -- "PyeVideo PY90DG" or "Pye Video PY 90DG" -- but I'm asking anyways. I recorded a television program from like 1991 which I can't find any video of on the Internet. As far as I know, I'm the only one who has this recording; I just see records online that this did air in the 1990s, but no video. (BTW, I didn't see that this thing was a bit dirty until looking at pic related that I took.)

Woah, Firefox has split-tabs now. I know Vivaldi has had that forever but that's a game changer.

>convinced by what?
In almost all cases where photo files are unopenable, they are ALL in the same folder pertaining to the date they were taken. While almost all openable files are also in the same folder together.
This applies to screenshot folders created by Steam as well.
Not the this doesnt mean they were all copied onto the plate that day. Most commonly in batches of several weeks or months.

>>107611698
You can have both installed. Drivers are loaded as kernel modules. You can blacklist the proprietary driver at boot then load the nouveau driver and vice versa. If you have a second GPU you can do it without rebooting, to do this, make sure nothing is using the Nvidia GPU, then unload and load modules with 'modprobe -r' and 'modprobe' commands respectively.

>>107611769
It's also had vertical tabs for a while too.

>>107611786
Yeah, I know about that but I don't care about that because it's a shitty implementation that forces the minimum width of the viewport to be increased so if you have a small window (think chatbox sized) it ends up way bigger than it should be.

Horizontal tabs for me. Split-tabs seems genuinely useful though.

>>107611735
This was true before windows became an "agentic" OS, microsoft basically shot themselves in the head and now I'm never going back.

>>107611773
anon, files do not exist inside of folders on a disk. That's just a bit of metadata.
Some files can be screwded despite being in the same folder as files that are fine.

>>107611817
Indeed, it's all just inodes that reference an internal block of metadata and data that the filesystem manages. Indeed, you can even have the same file with the exact same reference stored in multiple folders even thanks to hardlinks.

Welp. That might be why.

>>107611856
This happens with every network filesystem. It's why people use things like Autofs to try to work-around it but ultimately you need that server to stay online if you don't want file operations to hang like that.

>>107611445
Are you using an external drive (from BestBuy?) or an internal one? How many years was the warranty on it when you bought it? I know for sure that some HDD models are terrible chink shit, made in China or something. I'm curious to know what brand and model of HDD you were using.

>Archiving HDD
You can call it that but it doesn't mean it is. Unless your HDD is synced everyday to one or two other HDDs, or you use a ZFS mirror pool, then isn't an "archiving HDD". I have an "Archiving HDD", which is a mirrored zpool of two hard drives: protects against single-disk failure but not multi-disk failure.

>Hardware salvaging costs 900 euroshekels
I know that feel. That's rough dude. I've had multiple HDDs die on me. Two or three of them had/have stuff which I "really care about"; cost like 1000 USD to fix those shitty HDD models, and maybe I'll never pay that to do that.

>>107611752
MakeMKV in the Arch computer didn't work. I tried that ~yesterday. I successfully installed MakeMKV but it said something like "no usable optical drives".

Perhaps PyeVideo PY90DG is doing some weird things or using nonstandard formats which makes it hard/impossible to get the recorded videos.

>>107611817
>Some files can be screwded despite being in the same folder as files that are fine.
That's not what I said.
That's the opposite of what I said.
I said all screwed files are in the same folder as all other screwed files, implying the folder wasnt accessed properly (note that the plate Im accessing is the COPIED plate. The real plate I am not accessing because Im too afraid that might screw it up even more).
Still thinking about shelling out those many shekels for a ahrdware-based saving of files.
What Im most bitter about is that Windows didnt tell me there was an issue with my HDD. I even did a checkup with windows tools because it took a bit long to access some files.

>>107611769
>Woah, Firefox has split-tabs now
Is that the thing where you see two tabs at once side-by-side in one window? You right click on the tab(s) and it has an option to do that. Brave browser had or has that, but sadly not on my version of it -> Brave Version 1.77.97 Chromium: 135.0.7049.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)

>>107611445
>other images wont open because "file format not supported" (lie)
That's because the files are (a) empty, or (b) missing large portions of data, replaced with a bunch of binary zeros. Look at the files in a hex editor and you may see what I'm talking about. Compare that to working jpg/png/gif image files.

>>107611892
>cost like 1000 USD to fix those shitty HDD models
Cost 1,000 USD per drive repaired.

If the recorder machine can read the disk, but the regular dive cannot, did you finalize the disk?

>>107611964
Well, I dunno how this thing was copied, usually you'd copy the data blockwise (and with that, filesystem agnostic).

A hardware recovery service is unlikely to help you I'm afraid.

Cloning stations usually start from the beginning of the disk and stop after many errors are encountered.
Try doing the clonig through your computer, either both disks connected through the docking station, or just the bad disk.
Use ddrescue multiple times, each time pointing it to the same image file (or destination disk) and the same log file.
ddrescue can stray from the end of the disk, and it can skip arbitrary number of sectors when it encounters read errors.
Once you've tried that a few times and nothing else seems to work, try freezing the disk. There is a slim chance that a frozen disk can skip past a scratched region.

>>107611445
Try using ddrescue. It's a software that attempts to rescue as many sectors from any damaged storage medium as possible while skipping over and not freezing or crashing whenever it encounters a damaged sector like most rescue software do. That's your best bet atm.

>>107611769
What's the point of this? Every single OS is able to tile windows.

That makes somewhat sense, since the copied disk just stops after a few months of my photography work

Are you talking about... ice? As in my fridge? Like putting it below 0°C? Are we talking about a physical process here or is "freezing the disk" some esoteric data wizard thing I don't know of?

It's built-in to the browser which has advantages sometimes when you don't want to deal with two separate windows.

Switched to Ubuntu 25.10 a week ago, everything worked perfectly until a new update destroyed directx12 and 11 vulkan layer thingy. Too lazy to troubleshoot so I just moved to Linux Mint and everything works even better.

The thing is, Mint is so. fucking. boring. I feel bad because it truly just works and has never treated me bad but I kinda want something more, idk, interesting

>>107612568
Should have used Ubuntu LTS, or give Fedora a shot

sudo apt install gddrescue
sudo pacman -S gddrescue

It's called GNU ddrescue or something. Once you install that package it includes the ddrescue CLI program.

>>107612475
True. I use i3wm and was too lazy to find out how to easily make two windows side-by-side each taking up half the screen. Split tabs make it easy as it's built into the web browser.

I'd also like to know what "disk freezing" / "HDD freezing" is. I imagine that the spinning disk RPM becomes very slow or temporarily stops.
