Yesterday I tried to update to version 1.2.13 and there was a problem, the MPD player does not start unlike Squeezelite, the status is a flashing red cross. How to solve this problem?

I use platform PC and before I use SO 1.1.1 version more then one year without any problems.

LUTEK.

You are running software versions which are no longer supported. Suggest you try SnakeOil 1.3.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTE instead.

I see. Is there any step by step instructions on how to do this? I'm a complete noob when it comes to Linux systems.

Sorry that the Wiki is out of date.  I am assuming you know how to use Windows and some of the tools. You will need to attach a monitor and keyboard to the computer that will run SnakeOil (SO).

On Win computer, install Ubuntu 22.04 Server LTS on a USB stick. Then put USB stick on SO computer and follow  instructions to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.   If you are not sure of the steps, follow this:
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubu...1-overview
For step 2, download the 22.04 server version (SO cannot use 24.04)
https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/

Once you have Ubuntu 22.04 LTS running on SO computer, run the following command
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifa...staller.sh)"

Thank you very much, I think it will help many people starting their adventure with Snakeoil.

Looks like you need to modify the wget call for the appropriate device.

something like
bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifa...4-1.3.1.sh

if you browse to this page
https://artifacts.snakeoil-os.net/artifacts/installer/
you will see the various options for releases and architectures.

If you're installing to a standard 64 bit X-86/AMD64 and using Ubuntu 22.04 as a base then the line above should work.

(I've not had to install for a while and I know AK was updating some items so hope this works for you)

It looks like there is a bug here and will need @agent_kith to resolve.
