Since these discs are gold-colored too, I’ll be checking them after a while to make sure its…

Unfortunately, the latest Ubuntu release, 21.04 was not installed correctly and whenever I tried to update the system packages, it would error out when setting up systemd. The solution to this seem to be a quick one. Turns out, the file libsystemd-shared-247.so was there, in the /usr/lib/systemd folder:…
Hi everyone, I’m now at my 3rd LG WH14NS40 Blu-Ray drive. The first one had its Blu-Ray laser die and the second one began having issues reading Blu-Ray discs. The 3rd one reads them faster. But what if I could have fixed the 2nd drive? That’s what we will be looking here. This drive is not one of my favorite writers. It is not a good writer.

It reports the media code to be OPTODISC-R16-00 and supports writing at up to 8x here.
