Snakeoil Firmware - 1.2.8 (Gear Isolation U8)

[agent_kith]

1. Installed the Raspbian OS with desktop 32 bit using raspberry pi imager. Activated ssh and wifi using the advance settings of the imager.
2. Booted and ssh into it using Putty. Ran sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade to get the latest updates. Rebooted.
3. Copied the snakeoil installer 1.2.6 using filezilla and ran the sudo bash installation command. got errors at the end regarding squeezelite and lms not installed. Since I plan to use mpd and spotify only, I stated the webos to play music.

Did you do a screencap of the error?

5. Web inteface gives a warning to uninstall pulseaudio as it may interfere with the sound quality. On clicking the uninstall buttion and rebooting snakeoil os again gives the same warning. Cant understand why pulseaudio is not being uninstalled.

SSH to the Snakeoil PC, and run the following:

Code:

sudo apt remove pulseaudio

Did that return any error? Double check if the pulseaudio message is still showing in the Web page after this.

6. Selected mpd as player and output on usb.
7. The hdd is show along wiith the other partitions of the micro sd card. Tried to select it for building the database but no go.

a. The errors regarding squeelzite and lms not installing. Removing pulseaudio.

You need to tell me what errors you're seeing. Otherwise I have no information to go on.

Create a new thread in the "Support & Troubleshooting section", follow the information pasted at the top as much as you can.

E.g. once I find out why uninstalling spotify is not returning you an error why it failed to uninstall, I will add that. Last I recalled the WebApp should return an error giving you a reason why pulseaudio can't be uninstalled.

b. Mounting the hdd and bulding the database.

You should be able to mount the HDD in the library tab? Once that is done the music player/server of your choice will have access to the music.

c. Spotify client access.

I probably can't help you on that one since I don't use Spotify. But I do know LMS has a Spotify client. So once you get LMS up and running u can add that plugin to get Spotify.

BTW, not trying to load things on you. Just that I've really busy now so am trying to streamline the process. And I'm hardly home these days (only going home to sleep really). Can't even test simple things like clicking on the uninstall PulseAudio button in my test rig now.. Last I checked, that worked, but that was tested on a copy of Raspbian a while back, and new Raspbian updates might have changed things, and what not.
