Snakeoil 1.3.0 Alpha 1 (aarm64) - agent_kith - 21-Oct-2023

OK folks, this is the first test for Snakeoil 1.3.0. Currently only working for aarch64 (i.e. arm 64 bit). Built with Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi.

To use this, download Ubuntu arm 64 bit, write that contents to a micro-sd card.

SSH to the Raspberry Pi, and then run the following:

Code:
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifacts/testing/snakeoil-installer-aarch64-1.3.0-alpha-1-99d6ef0.sh)"

Answer any questions when prompted.

Reboot, and viola!

I hope this installation makes it better for folks? And time will tell if we will get another DDOS again, will cross that bridge when we come to it.

x86_64 and armv7l builds coming up in the next few days/weeks. Until then let me know how this sounds.

Just to fill in my own failing memory and will help others like me, not familiar with Pi, the steps are

Use Raspberry Pi imager https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/
and select Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS (64 bit) as OS, write to SD card
Make sure you pick Server version.
Insert SD card into Pi, boot, find IP address if required
Start up Putty, ssh to Pi, login ubuntu password ubuntu (will be asked to change) and run script

Not sure whether I needed to use Sudo to start Bash script, but I did! Script took a long time to run, maybe 20+ mins and appeared to run through a few cycles of updating Ubuntu before starting SO install.

Script is a success! Can get into SO instance via browser. Wanted to report this quickly before I get into activation, set up system properly etc and then listen. Minor issue to be addressed: not sure of password of Ubuntu user, had to go to SO webpage to change it.

Using Mercury V2 streamer with CM4 module.

System now running, did quick check that Mpd 0.21.25, 0.22.9, 0.23.5, LMS with Squeezelite 2.0 are working. Mympd is running, but do not use. However, there are issues, as expected:

Cannot install upmpdcli
No Minimserver
All the players mentioned so far are what I use, have not tried any of the others.
2 kernels installed 5.15.0-1041-raspi and -1035-raspi, which probably accounted for the long install ? Why these 2 kernels, and not standard kernel, which likely solve the next point.
Tried installing CamillaDSP, but it said Module Snd-Aloop not found; it is missing in above kernels. Installed CamillaDSP successfully from scratch with recently rebuilt NUC on 22.04.1 with standard kernel

It sounds OK, but not possible to compare to NUC because it is missing CamillaDSP, my CPUSets and real time kernel.

I installed the SO 1.3 (Ubuntu 22.04.03 LTS server) on the Allo Usbridge Signature (Raspberry CM3+) with dac Chord Qutest (connecting by USB). Playing with MPD+upmpdcli I hear music for a moment and then only a lot of noises and pops. With LMS+squeezelite+upmpdcli is the sam problem.

Thank you @sy_boy and @Anzelm for helping out with the Alpha testing, and welcome to the forum. Please provide as much information as possible when posting in this thread, including your Pi hardware, any hats and the Ubuntu software that you are using. With more people helping with the Alpha, we can get to Beta and a proper release quicker.

So far, I am encouraged by the results. It has made the install much easier to do and will hopefully encourage more people to try SnakeOil.

I forgot about bad Internet connection. You might need to delete some files and re-run the installer. Can you try and run this and try again?

Code:
sudo rm /media/snakeoil_cache/* -rf

That's a bit of a problem. Can you play some music for about 10 seconds, then generate a diagnostic file and send it to me?

Then, do a sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade and see if there's a newer Pi kernel...

If yes, reboot and see if it's any change.

This might be a bit of a bummer as this is probably OS specific. Sad

But will see what clues the diagnostic file can offer.

No clicks, issues with Mpd, LMS with Squeezelite 2, so unlikely to be OS specific..

ok，I will try again. my hardware is Pi4,1G

[font]Reinstalled and it has started successfully, trying other features now, it's great![/font]
