As asked below - pictures of my urchin wearing his hats!

There’s a native Linux version! No need for wine :)
I use makemkv. Works every time. Once in a while you have to open the disk “manually” and select the right track but ya, makemkv does it all.
Free if you want to update the beta trial key every few months. After years of use I bought a lifetime license for like $20. Probably the best value I’ve ever gotten.
Mine has a traffic cone he likes to wear. That’s my favorite as it’s usually crooked and makes it even more ridiculous :)
I have a reef tank. In it is a tuxedo urchin. Mine has these hats as well - it’s fairly common amongst us hobbyists, and yes it’s always funny.
Urchins are fantastic and voracious algae eaters. They like to shade themselves from the lights and camouflage themselves. They pick up EVERYTHING. If it’s not glued down, the urchin will be wearing it as a hat eventually. Even if it IS superglued down, there’s a good chance they’ll rip it up and wear it as a hat.
My urchin carried a hermit crab around for days. Poor crab was like “hey man put me down!” He didn’t - a few days later the hermit crab moved to a new shell.
My urchin is one of, if not my most favorite tank inhabitant.
Thanks I’ll check it out. I ended up running eac in bottles and it worked 100%. I guess I assumed (without any real reason) that EAC would have issues low level accessing the cdrom drive through wine - but that turned out to not be true at all. It just worked flawlessly, so I just keep doing what I like - EAC
But I am playing around with these alternatives-never know, I may like one of these better ;)
Thanks for the recommendation!
Agreed. I broke arch multiple times over the years. Once I learned to read the arch news, pay attention to the pacman log, and not just “yay - update complete” my way through updates - it’s been pretty solid for years. More so than the “stable, noob friendly distros”
I updated two PCs yesterday and both were fairly far behind in updates. My main rig was without issue (it was about 4 weeks since last updated). A secondary pc that was a couple of months behind did have a weird issue with the mirrors being offline or something. This was using the default mirror lists. Pac-Man couldn’t find the repositories. Ran reflector and everything was fine again. I’m thinking the issue didn’t have anything to do with pacman.
Anyways - the pacman upgrade was uneventful (which was good)
Ah I see, #5 is just the header you’re using. You aren’t using 5 total. That makes more sense.
I don’t even have L-connect installed, but I did once upon a time. Maybe I changed a setting there and forgot about it, but I don’t think so. Either way it’s probably worth checking that your bios is set to “PWM” for that header, and that L-connect is set to “enable MB PWM Sync” under the fan/pump profile page. (Just from googling). Look for settings to turn off any L-connect interaction - forcing it to pay attention to the fan header?
I’m wondering if your controller is somehow set to ignore the header pins and run from just the usb port/L-connect. And maybe on a power cycle, your mobo thinks there’s no fan?
I dunno - I’m shooting in the dark now though. All I know is that my controller always shows up as a single fan, and all the attached fans run at the same speed - whatever the header calls for. No software installed, all wired connections are made, exhibits this same behavior regardless of OS, power cycles, reboots, etc.
Sorry I’m not more help - it’s frustrating when things that should “just work” don’t.
Oh! Did you plug in BOTH SATA connectors? I think one is for rgb and the other is for fan speed. Maybe that’s screwing things up?
Reef tank owner here. People who make these use a type of plastic known to not degrade and become an issue. All is good!
Most plastic (not all, but most) is good to go. It’s metal you have to worry about. Or lotion on people’s hands / makeup.
If something is bad for a reef tank, you usually find out pretty quick with quick deaths. The ocean doesn’t tolerate contamination or fluctuations of anything - it likes things very stable…
