Snakeoil 1.4.2 (High End U2)

[agent_kith]

BTW,  how about adding a script to remove snap and snapd from Ubuntu?

Can do that. Actually have the idea to show the list of services to disable. In the old Snakeoil those services are already disabled, but we don't have that for the new setup yet.

Another thing I will do is to create something called a cloud-init file that will automate a lot of this.... Hopefully that will come soon.

Guys, have discovered a new issue with memory leak if the NAS mount paths are not mounting properly. Have added that to the list, and this will be fixed in 1.4.3.

No excuses really, but given the API is a complete rewrite all things considered - things aren't that bad?


I mean, this new API works when everything is working perfectly! But crashes when it doesn't. 
 

Next update is gonna be better. And I'm really glad it's a lot easier to update Snakeoil now.

Yeah, Thanks a lot, AK!

Introduction
Fix some regressions from U1. Namely random 503 errors experienced by some. The API server is now more defensive which would hopefully reduce the number of 503 errors, however it doesn't really address the problems.

If you're experiencing some weirdness in the WebApp, please go to the "Systems" page and click on the "Snakeoil Logs" button. Look for the line that says "exception:". Start a new thread in the trouble shooting section for me to investigate further. Multiple threads with the same underlying issue will be merged by me. This is to facilitate tracking which helps me manage the issues better. Avoiding posting problems in this thread as I may miss reading it.


Change Log

• Fix netplan read/write bug in network page (#202)
  
• Fix uncaught exception when processing netplan yaml files (#201)
  
• Fix missing translation in system page (#200)
  
• Add more information when running --diag in the command line (#199)
  
• Add custom plugins library in QT so we can get rid of QT_PLUGINS_PATH environment variable (#198)
  
• Change email address for diagnostic file in WebApp [#197)

How To Install/Update

• New users please follow this guide to install Snakeoil: Link
  
• Existing users please go to the "System" page, and click on "OS Update". Please note item 1 in "known issues" if updating from the WebApp.
  You can also update from the command line:
  Code:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt install snakeoil

Known Issues

1. If you update Snakeoil from the WebApp, the console will display "Unknown Ticket" after a while. Ignore that for now as it will be addressed in 1.4.3 or later. Your Snakeoil installation is updated to 1.4.2 once you see "Unknown Ticket".
   
2. Potential memory leak when NAS mount point fails. See here.
   

Final Words
With the new deployment system more or less in place, and now that Snakeoil OS is more or less stable (503 issues for some aside). Is this a good time for Snakeoil to expand it's wings - e.g. do you want Snakeoil to support 24.10? (Oracular), Raspberry Pi OS, Debian bookworm, and so on. If yes, please post a new feature request in the feature requests section of the forum, and I will fire support for that if there are enough people up-voting this.

Different distro do affect the sound (even though we are using the same ALSA driver)... Perhaps in spreading the wings we can find another "gold" distro that will bring Snakeoil up a level.. In the meantime, I will continue to work on a kernel builder as time permits.

Did the 1.4.2 version disappear? I Tried the "OS update" button and the OS was updatet, but SO version still is 1.4.0. Also I can't find it in the artifacts folder.

I could reinstall the 1.4.0 version of SO because I had the deb-file already downloaded before some time...still 1.4.2 not found

ic.  Maybe just remove the snakeoil again.  And then follow here https://www.snakeoil-os.net/reference/in...il_package
 

Code:

wget -qLO - \
  https://install.snakeoil-os.net | sudo sh

Ok that worked. Thank you

Did the 1.4.2 version disappear? I Tried the "OS update" button and the OS was updatet, but SO version still is 1.4.0. Also I can't find it in the artifacts folder.

The artifacts web server will eventually go away. It was only ever meant to be an interim solution.

Now Snakeoil has moved to official apt repository. This way I don't have to post links, folks can just update the apt repo to pull the latest version, or an older version if they so desire.

Work is not finished yet. I will need to split up the snakeoil package into sub-components (players will be split out) to make the overall load on the snakeoil infrastructure easier to manage.

Hello, Agent Kith.
Have you considered for mympd and mpd to be started as a service? I know that due to a several versions of mpd this maybe wouldn't be practical but for mympd I think it could.
Still have problems with i2s audio devices not visible (only USB) but this is on another thread.
Regards.
