I just did a fresh install on an Intel NUC with no problems. Everything standard, with no Ubuntu Pro real time kernel. 1.3 script completed successfully.

Yes!ubuntu 22.04 is fresh installation.change running Real-time kennel.

ic.  I've installed SnakeOil into both fresh original stock kernel and real-time kernel Ubuntu 22.04 without an issue.  
Or would you please tell us the parts of your PC, e.g. CPU, amount of RAM, volume of HD/SSD, or any other PCI card inserted?

BTW, maybe just use another USB drive, USB port, and USB burning software in your next attempt.  In many years ago, I DO encountered unknown installation problem with my certain old USB drive, certain USB port on the same PC, and certain burning software.  So every times when unknown/strange installation (whatever OS) problem happens, I just change them one by one.

I look forward to hearing from your good news.

Announcing the release of Snakeoil Measurements. In this update Snakeoil has yet again moved a new direction is moving to a more relaxed environment allowing anybody to download and try Snakeoil without a forum account. Believe it or not this is a pretty major step forward.


Changelog
So what's changed? It's all happening mostly behind the scenes. 

• Better and more powerful servers with more CPUs, bigger storage capacity and slightly more Internet bandwidth. Useful for that vapourware feature I kept talking about.
  
• Improved the build pipeline time by building the WebApp only once and re-use it for all builds. This shaves about 8 minutes per pipeline.
  
• Other parts of the build system is also simplified. Have removed a NextCloud service (bloated) to a simple HTTP server for hosting files. This just saves system administration time and lessen the chance of downtime. Daily backups are still happening so we only lose a day worth of data at worst
  
• Free for all to download. Anybody can just download Snakeoil now without first registering an account. I hope I have the confidence and know how in this day and age to detect and detect any DDOS attacks
  
• Moving away from Patreon and Paypal to buymeacoffee.com as the first two is just so time consuming. This process isn't over yet though as I have yet to apply for an ABN to make this official (An Australian thing).
  
• One step install for first time users! Not as great as it sounds, but it's the best I can do for now. More on this later. 
  
• Some libraries and softwares have been updated to a later version. They are documented in git commits but cannot remember off hand the details now. Most players are still the same as the last 1.2.x update for now just so to minimise potential of shock.
  

Firmware Download (For Existing Users)
Download this and upload them via the WebApp to update. 

• Ubuntu for Intel/AMD CPUs (X86_64)
  
• Raspberry Pi Bookworm (aarch64)
  
• Ubuntu Pi (aarch64)
  

Snakeoil OS Fresh Install (For New Users)
While the installation process has been simplified, you'll need to first install an Operating System of choice, and enable SSH access. The following OS are supported

• Raspberry Pi: Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm, Ubuntu 22.04, 23.10
  
• AMD/Intel: Ubuntu 23.10, 22.04, 20.04
  

Once the OS is installed, over a computer monitor (or SSH) and run the following command:
 

Code:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifacts/snakeoil-installer.sh)"

This script will pull everything that is needed from the Internet and configures your fresh install to run SnakeoilOS.

The wiki will be updated to include new setup installation. And in time I will create a new video update to guide folks along. 

I know there are folks who prefer an even simpler method of installing Snakeoil. And sure enough it can be done given enough time and resources. The resources are there, just not enough time now. The project is open source though so I welcome folks to help contribute. Besides, if you make the effort to learn a bit of LINUX, you'll be well rewarded by the rewards of the Snakeoil brings - a unlocked/unrestricted operating system for your listening pleasure.

Known Issues

• Logitech Media Server not starting in Raspberry Pi Bookworm
  To fix this, manually SSH to the snakeoil machine, and run the following commands:
  PHP Code:

  wget https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/players/lms/logitechmediaserver_latest_arm.deb
sudo dpkg -i logitechmediaserver_latest_arm.deb
rm logitechmediaserver_latest_arm.deb 

•  
  

What's Next?
Moving forward I am going to change my primary listening rig to a Zimaboard. Will tweak the physicals first before I tweak on the software. The focus will be on Raspberry Pi and Zimaboard. And DSP support of course.

Maybe, just maybe I will also dedicate some time and put up a better resolution pic for the forum header. :/

I apologise for being a bit MIA past few months, it's make or break time for us. This is always the case when working in a startup. Cannot afford to rest until the IPO, or brought out. Thank you for your patience during these trying times.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Report all your issues below.

I found the installer path is changed to 
 

And it doesn't work with latest ubuntu 22.04.5 server.   Need to changed to for x86_64 cpu.
 

Other CPU and platform may find your installer here. 
https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifacts/installer/

After the installation, it is 1.3.1, not 1.3.0.
