1.4.0 Release Candidate 2

[Snoopy8]

Happy New Year!   A thorough RC2 test on Pi5 Ubuntu 24.04

1. Remove true type font and no need for additional input during install. I think you were planning to do this a while ago but it was going to be a big change?
   
2. Dashboard still showing RC1. Dashboard Network tab "coming soon"
   
3. Error message at end of install: N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/cs/snakeoil-1.4.0-rc-2-ubuntu_noble_arm64.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied).   Same message when I tried installing LMS9 manually previously.  But does not affect install
   
4. Network Tab.  Showing Wlan0 DHCP, when it is disabled.  Eth0 enabled with proper ip address but display not showing DHCP.  Cannot change.
   
5. After SO config restore, File uploaded. Press OK to begin basic configuration restore.  Button is showing System.  This error has been there for a long time, never bothered to report!
   
6. Still requiring manual upload of NFS folders after reboot.  Tried changing service to "Requires", which resulted in long boot time but did not fix problem.
   
7. On Available Music Software (Basic), selecting Logitech Media Server + Sueezelite does not load LMS.  This is important for unactivated users. And when trying to install in System/software
   
8. *** Name: lyrion_music_server Mode: Installing ***

   Download fail... cannot continue!

    And it keeps trying to install even though upmpdcli switch is set to off
    

Please let me know if you want me to do a similar thorough test on Intel NUC before you release RC3

As part of the 1.4 release,  should highlight the availability of the out of the box RT kernels for Ubuntu 24.04

And a reason not to go Bookworm for the Pi.
