So i got brasero and burned the iso. It burned the same four .vob files onto the dvd.

Anybody got a solution for me? Thanks.

Thanks pmv. I'm not familiar with opensuse.org. Think it's safe to download from? This looks great but I'm wary. Plus everybody seems to be saying bombono free is no longer available anywhere.

Probably safer than Ubuntu.

Well done and thanks!
I saw your other thread where you were trying to compile it - is this the result?

Yes it is. I didn't know this program until now.

So you just designed this? Wow. Thanks. I'm on a Windows computer now, but I will try it soon. Is there a preferred way (safer?) to install it? The (attachment) install manually or the binary?

Gregg Bell, do you feel confident to do it manually? If so, do it. If not, just grab the binaries.
It's not a question of security since both are precompiled afaics. Compiled on OpenSuse's Open Build Service. Whether that's safe enough for you, only you can decide. I'd trust it in most cases.

I chose the 2-nd possibility (Grab binary packages directly)
From the directory you have downloaded it to you have to execute:

Code:

sudo apt install ./bombono-dvd_1.2.4-1_amd64.deb

Thanks ondoho. I researched OpenSuse and it looks totally safe. I got the Bombono.

Thanks pmv. I got it doing exactly what you said. I was a little leery because after I made the

Code:

sudo apt install ./bombono-dvd_1.2.4-1_amd64.deb

command there was this notice

Code:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

and there were all these things listed, including one that said

Code:

calibre-bin

and then:

Code:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

Anyway, I did the

Code:

Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.

I checked the applications menu and Bombono was there! And I figured I'd check Calibre just to make sure that wasn't goofed up. Well, rather than Calibre opening, the Calibre installation wizard came up. I checked to see if my Calibre folder was still on the computer (it was--and all my Calibre files), and by then the regular Calibre came up. So it looks like it's going to be okay.

Thanks a ton for doing all this. It was SO VERY NICE OF YOU.

PS. I'm already running Bombono!

Nice, good to see a nice end to this and Gregg being able to run his favourite program again!
