Snakeoil Installer - 1.2.0 (Gear Isolation)

[Bromf]

Cant see it...

Mmmm, it should appear to the right of the Update Ubuntu button.  What version of SnakeOil are you on?  Not sure what firmware version it came out in, but guessing either 1.1.9 or 1.1.10??

I'm on 1.1.10...

You are on Ubuntu base 16.04.... I think you need 18.04 or better to see that option...

Was using Backup on 16.04/1.1.11 instance.

Backup may be for activated edition only? I will have to double check...

As for other distros, in theory any debian based system should work, but this first script is looking for Ubuntu as a first try. Will expand onto other distros once the GUI is finished.

But mine is activated, Agent Kith
You can see the "Thank You" in Activation.
Could it be because i put the disk on other hardware? Somehow, SnakeOil OS thinks this eeebox has 4 cpu cores and 8 threads (Laptop had an I5 cpu)

My bad. Update is introduced in U11. Update to that and the new command button should show up.  Go here for the firmware.

Can you help?

@irate1 , please provide details of what Linux system and version you are using. 

Also, try this to fix missing aplay and rerun install script:apt-get install alsa-utils

Last try was with Ubuntu Server 20.04 on rpi4.

This time I tried Ubuntu Server 21.04 on rpi4, and received this:

I had similar problems and it resolved as an incompatibility of the Ubuntu installer with my hardware.

I had to use a legacy installer for the base Ubuntu 20.04...and that worked and then the Snakeoil install completed without errors. Ymmv.
