Fail retrieving seeds

[mahelious]

Running Linux Mint 19.2 (based on Ubuntu 18.04 bionic). When I attempt to run friidump process takes a short time at the line "Retrieving disc seeds, this might take a while..." and then exits with the message "Failed".

This may just be that my optical drive is not compatible, but I wanted to check just in case, is there anything I can try besides swapping the disk drive?

It's because your disc drive is unsupported, and therefore friidump can't read anything from your wii disc.
