No. If you look at my instructions, you are installing two packages in the same apt install line: handbrake-gtk and handbrake-cli. The latter you may never need to use but it gives you more flexibility in the future to have it. You don't need to install handbrake-cli if you don't want to, just handbrake-gtk.

it does not hurt to have both, and the cli I use for batch jobs, if you just got one or two dvd/cds to rip, use the gui one.

If your system is beefy enough you can run two or more of them simultaneously and not see a slow down in anything else you might be doing. But wait that would require more than one cd/dvd reader... my files are already on my hdd.

just CLI info to fill your brain.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#
# Change this to specify a different handbrake preset. 
# You can list them by running: "HandBrakeCLI --preset-list"
#

cd /media/data1/scripts

if [[ -d "/run/media/userx/3TB-External/HoldMovies" ]] ; 
then
{
#SLackware paths

mkdir -p "$DEST"
}
else

mkdir -p "$DEST"

My bad, hydrurga. I didn't look at it closely enough. Hey, watching the terminal I saw when I ran the initial command this came up:

Code:

12 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

And then I ran the

Code:

sudo apt update

command and I saw that handbrake was in there.

Code:

~/Desktop$ sudo apt update
Ign:1 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable InRelease
Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease                                                                                      
Hit:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease

Hit:6 http://ppa.launchpad.net/stebbins/handbrake-releases/ubuntu bionic InRelease

Then I ran

Code:

sudo apt install handbrake-gtk handbrake-cli

Then I ran

Code:

sudo apt update

Then I ran

Code:

sudo apt ugrade

And the end result was "all packages are up to date." So it's all good now, right?

Yes, it should be. You didn't need that final update and upgrade (note that you wrote ugrade, not upgrade).

So, give Handbrake a whirl by ripping a DVD and see how you get on.

Thanks BW. I have the cli and the gui for BackInTime too. I guess it doesn't hurt to have both.

Ok. Very good. Thank you. (Maybe that was a Freudian slip--"Ughgrade"? LOL)
