Snakeoil 1.4.3 (High End U3)

[lzyla]

Hi Kith,

Thank you for your hard work.
I am on Ubuntu 24.10 and SO 1.4.0
I cannot update through apt as it seems my ubuntu version is too high.
I added noble to apt/sources.list but still can't find snakeoil package.
So I manually removed my 1.4.0 and tried new installation procedure but installer doesn't start as it fails on ubuntu version checking (oracular not supported).
Where to download the 1.4.3 to manually install with apt?
Thank you!

Probably you got to reinstall to be 24.04 first.

Hi everyone, been a while since last visit. Thanks @agent_kith for the updates and 1.4.3!

I was (am?) on 1.3.0 when I did the Web os update.

It took a whiles, went through its paces before finishing.

I rebooted but still says I'm on 1.3.0. I tried updating again and this time was pretty quick to point out nothing to update?

Hey, long time no see.  How are you, pal?

Look, there are some changes for updating/installing SO.  I'm not sure which one works on your 1.3.0 case.  Please try 1 by 1 (I mean the update/install method in each release from 1.4.0). 
And above all, the ubuntu must upgraded to 24.04 first, as described in 1.4.0 thread.

Good luck and enjoy.  (the sound is much much better than 1.3.0)

Thx so much for replying, knew you'd be able to point me in the right direction.

Haven't upgraded ubuntu in a while. Will I have to create another real time kernel again? That alone makes me want to avoid upgrading haha

You're welcome, pal.  Look, you've taken me by surprise that you didn't use RT kernel yet.  Look, in fact, you just need to subscribe a free service from Ubuntu and patch it.  That's all.  (of course, your PC needs a reboot to make it take effect.)  

Yet above all, you got to upgrade the ubuntu to 24.04 first, because new SO only can be installed in Ubuntu 24.04.

Code:

sudo apt update && apt full-upgrade -y
sudo do-release-upgrade

It's gonna take some times and again, reboot is needed.

And then,
1) subscribing membership (free for personal use, up to 5 pc online at the same time)  https://ubuntu.com/pro/subscribe

2) install ubuntu pro in your pc

Code:

sudo apt install -y ubuntu-advantage-pro

3) attach your pc to that "pro" membership with the token give you in the above "pro" page after registration

Code:

sudo pro attach <your token code>

 the output will looks like.......

Attaching the machine...
Enabling default service esm-apps
Updating Ubuntu Pro: ESM Apps package lists
Ubuntu Pro: ESM Apps enabled
Enabling default service esm-infra
Updating Ubuntu Pro: ESM Infra package lists
Ubuntu Pro: ESM Infra enabled
Enabling default service livepatch
Installing snapd snap
Installing canonical-livepatch snap
Canonical Livepatch enabled
This machine is now attached to 'Ubuntu Pro - free personal subscription'

4) patching your pc with realtime kernel

Code:

sudo pro enable realtime-kernel

The output will looks like........

One moment, checking your subscription first
Real-time kernel cannot be enabled with Livepatch.
Disable Livepatch and proceed to enable Real-time kernel? (y/N) y
Disabling incompatible service: Livepatch
The Real-time kernel is an Ubuntu kernel with PREEMPT_RT patches integrated.

This will change your kernel. To revert to your original kernel, you will need
to make the change manually.

Do you want to continue? [ default = Yes ]: (Y/n) Y
Updating Real-time kernel package lists
Updating standard Ubuntu package lists
Installing Real-time kernel packages
Real-time kernel enabled
A reboot is required to complete install.

5) after reboot, you can see "Realtime" in the name of the kernel

PHP Code:

uname -a 


Good Luck and have fun!

@hkphantomgtr , you're a gem with all the steps.

I am using a real time kernel with 22.04. I'll create a new one with 24.04.

Are you still using hpet for timing?

I'm afraid that's too much to me, pal.  
Yeah, I've tried tsc and single core setting for almost a year, moved my speakers to accommodate and maximize the sonic effect.  Yet I found hpet and multi-cores still suit me the best.

You're welcome and you're brilliant, pal 
In my understanding, 1 core only for the music. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
