When I run a WebGL build of my Unity game on Ubuntu, I get a pink triangle in the middle of each level. This doesn't happen in the editor and it doesn't happen running the same WebGL build on other OSes. Any idea what's going on?

I beat a 2 dan! I (black) had five handicap stones and was very, very careful to hang onto my ever-shrinking lead until the game was over.

If you're looking for something to read for Black History Month, Michael Harriot's "Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America" is a good choice. In turns entertaining, edifying, appalling, and inspiring, it powerfully casts African-Americans as the active protagonists, not merely the victims, of our national story.

Okay, Mastodon, I think I have a problem only you can solve.

I'm doing some maintenance on a game I developed on a Mac in Unity 2021.3.18f1. I'm now working on Ubuntu.

When I first pulled the game from GitHub, it wouldn't run because Unity was complaining about libssl. I got around this by upgrading the project to Unity 2022.3.10f1. Now the game runs (at least within Unity), but the sound doesn't play.

I *can* play the sound files individually from within Unity, but I get warnings like this:

Errors during import of AudioClip Assets/Audio/mixkit-chill-bro-494.mp3:
ffmpeg -i "Temp/fsbankcache750326/tmpinput_HQDdFr.WAV" -f mp4 -codec aac -b:a 192000 -strict experimental -y "Temp/importedAudioTempPrimary750196"
FSBTool ERROR: Error converting Temp/fsbankcache750326/tmpinput_HQDdFr.WAV: make sure you have avconv or ffmpeg installed
FSBTool ERROR: Failed encoding audio clip '/home/drake/Unity/q2t2/Assets/Audio/mixkit-chill-bro-494.mp3' to AAC. Possibly the file is too short. Try to append silence such that the length becomes at least 1024 samples.

(I don't get these warnings when running the game.)

I did install ffmpeg:

$ ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version 4.4.2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2021 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 11 (Ubuntu 11.2.0-19ubuntu1)

What can I do to get my sound to play? Any leads appreciated.

Up and at 'em, people! These bananas aren't going to split themselves!
