Measures 1.3.0 Beta 1 (Last test hopefully.

[uglymusic]

But Ubuntu 23.10 64-bit Server still returns:

Need to say AMD/Intel or Pi now.. As they are all 64 bits.

This 23.10 issue I can only solve later in the next year. Unfortunately very much overwhelmed with work right now I just don't have any spare capacity after work.

Touch base with me on this next year as I will definitely forget this by then. However next year 24.02 LTS will be released, and that'll make 23.10 moot.

Yep. No worries. I'll use the Pi 5 for something else in the meantime.

So, it looks as if it's my turn to own up to a FU.

In amongst trying to test Alpha and Beta SO, Raspberry Pi OS and Ubuntus LTS and 23.10, RPi 4 and RPi 5 servers, and RPi 3 and RPi 4 clients, I got my SD cards muddled up.

What I thought was a fully functioning RPi 3 client machine running Alpha 2, was in fact, running SO 1.2.X, not 1.3. I discovered this when I went to upgrade from Alpha to Beta.

Now upgraded, I cannot get the HAT to work. I don't have time to chase down precisely what is happening until the weekend. 

Sorry for the muddle and and failing to notice I wasn't running 1.3.

This makes me smile.. Thanks...

Microsd cards. They're tiny, and I/O isn't particularly good on Pi3 and Pi4.. I think the newer Pi5 have better throughput but I can't remember the acronyms to be sure. BTW, I believe you can boot the OS directly off a USB now with a firmware update (works for pi 4) too. So that might be a better option. But I have yet to try it.

I'm glad I made you smile!

You can boot from a USB drive on a 4 or 5, but I haven't had the enthusiasm to actually try it. I have a spare small SSD somewhere. And, as I think I've said before here (definitely somewhere!), my RPi server eats microSD cards! I now use heavy-duty SanDisk ones for surveillance cameras.

With Ubuntu Server 22.0.04 LTS, all versions of Mpd are working as expected.  No stray install of MPD (dsd-018).  And all libraries loaded properly.  However, with implications for 1.3.1, cannot create loopback for CamillaDSP
 sudo modprobe snd-aloop
modprobe:  FATAL: Module snd-aloop not found in directory /lib/modules/5.15.0-1034-raspi

If only I have that kernel build site up and running. This can only be solved by building your own kernel. I believe you have done this before?

While I have built a kernel, most people will not be able to do this.  Maybe the better long term OS & Kernel going forward for Pi is Bookworm and Ubuntu should be dropped for Pi ???

I don't have a clue how to build a kernel!

If I understand correctly, Ubuntu gives the opportunity to swap kernels, but Raspberry Pi OS doesn't. Is that right? If that's the case, I'd like to have Ubuntu, even if it means waiting for the LTS early next year.
