I think this was a problem in 1.3? And it is on list of issues to be fixed soon..

Go to the first post of this thread and download the debian file for your architecture. Then transfer that file over to the machine, and run the following command:

Code:
apt install ./snakoil_.deb

Replace snakeoil_.deb with the actual file name. 1.4.1 will be officially moved to a apt respository and it will follow the standard debian way of installing. Right now I'm still working on the new CMS software and have that in place first.

Thank you. That's the first contact with SnakeOil and I thought I'd download the full .ISO (with minimum content?) with it. Now I found I must download the SnakeOil script and run it over the standard Debian based OS to make it up.

A worthy upgrade to switch from MicroSD to a faster solid state media.. And also the rabbit hole of "does SSD sound better than MicroSD"? It certainly boots up faster though.

Yet to really listen critically though, will have to find a day to do a proper listening session some day.

Hi AK

I'm liking 1.4 very much. Great work!

I'm sure the info is somewhere here, but I can't find it! I have my RPi 5 server running 1.4 happily from an SD card, but could you tell me how to run it from an NVMe drive please?

Thanks!

Hey, pal, look, now is already 1.4.3. The improvement of the sound is a big lap. Big Grin

And do you have 2 NVMe drive on your Pi 5 for this? Shy

Sorry. Being lazy. I have 1.4.3 installed.

Just one 4TB drive, with the source of truth being on my Synology. The idea is to move the files away from the NAS' noisy environment and push changes over to the Pi server.

Ic. Right. That will make much better sound.
I use a micro SD card to boot pi 5, and a 2T NVMe for music files storage. As if I have to reinstall the OS, I don't have to copy 2T files again, it takes at least 6 hrs.........

That is interesting. I hadn't thought about reinstalling the OS. This is why you were asking about two NVMe drives.

I find my server destroys SD cards, even heavy duty ones, in anything from 6 months to 2 years depending on the card. Where will the indexes reside if I don't move everything to the NVMe drive and use the SD card for booting? I'm thinking I won't solve the SD eating behaviour.

Well, your SD problem is strange. Just a wild guess, is the power supply, or temperature problem? Well, anyway, maybe just clone an image periodically.... haha.....
In fact, how about u just use a tiny usb flash drive to boot, e.g. "Sandisk Ultra Fit". I hope your system won't kill USB drive, too.
