Snakeoil ISO File Version 0.1.4 (Cryo Treatment)
#1
[Update: 31 May 2016]
64 bit networking is working now. Please see end of post for known issues, and please comment if you have any problems/issue with this current ISO.


Streamlined the releases a bit, I'm not going to differentiate between CPUs now, only architectures. After you have installed Snakeoil onto your system, you can upload a custom kernel to take advantage of your processor if need be.

At the moment, Snakeoil supports these architectures: 
  • Intel/AMD 32 bit
  • Intel/AMD 64 bit
Note that you cannot mix architectures (i.e.g cannot upload 32 bit firmware to a 64 bit snakeoil machine). Although 64 bit CPUs can execute 32 bit code just fine, 64 bit Snakeoil is missing 32 bit libraries required for the software players to function. I'd be working on a Raspberry Pi edition in due time.

Some important links for new users If you are new to Linux and LiveCD, watch this walkthrough video of how to do a Snakeoil installation:

Known Issues: 
  • 64 bits: squeezelite can't seem to set output thread priority. Still investigating the reason for this.Confirmed fixed in 0.1.5-pre-release-20160613
  • 64 bits: Uploading new kernels not working, go here to download fix.

Tried using the 'Intel/AMD 64 bit ISO' version on my Intel i5. For some reason it can't set up a network. During booting it shows the message "Booting system without full network configuration".

This is the content of the /etc/network/interfaces

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Hmm. I think @a.dent has the same issue too.

Can you login to the system, and run "dmesg|grep eth0". Is the interfae renamed to something else? say p1p2 or something?

Maybe something with a new kernel being used?
This is the result of dmesg | grep eth0

e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: registered PHC clock
e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: (PCI Express :2.5GT/s:Width x1) xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (=MAC address)
e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Connection
e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: MAC: 11, PHY: 12, PBA No: FFFFFF-0FF
e1000e 0000:00:19.0 eth0: em1: renamed from eth0
systemd-udevd[2750]: renamed network interface eth0 to em1

systemd-udevd[2750]: renamed network interface eth0 to em1

try and update /etc/nework/interfaces to the following
 
Code:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto em1
iface em1 inet dhcp

i.e. replace eth0 to em1, then reboot and see if that works.

This Ubuntu udev "feature" of renaming network interface names is really starting to get frustrating [Image: confused.png]. And this renaming didn't happen in my test setup, and why I missed it [Image: dodgy.png] .

I have adapted the file like you said but it didn't work.
Note that when I adapt the file it saves it in the casper-rw partition.
After the system restarts it seems that this file gets overwritten by the default again.
Is there a way to prevent that?

I missed out "auto eth0" also, change that to em1. Did that work? I wonder how persistent partition works, perhaps the timestamp of the file in the persistent partition is older than the one on the ISO? (I'm in Perth, so that's +8 UTC).

Uploading a new ISO that should fix this issue (it'd can be anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours).

Unfortunately need you and a.dent to help me verify if this new ISO will work as my Jetway 2600 don't rename the NIC (interface eth0 is not renamed unlike you guys).

You stated: " I missed out "auto eth0" also, change that to em1......"
What do you mean with that? Is that somewhere else than in the same interfaces file?

See post number 5, make sure the last 2 lines of the interfaces file says em1.

Ok, I did that already. Tnx!
