A public apology regarding BassBoom v1.0 Launchpad PPA

When BassBoom v1.0 was released, we had expected that this version of the music player would be available to all package managers in various platforms, such as WinGet for Windows, Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu, and other packaging methods for different systems.

However, a technical issue caused us to be unable to push the Ubuntu packages for this version of BassBoom, which made it unavailable for those who rely on our Ubuntu PPA to install BassBoom to their Ubuntu systems.

We sincerely apologize for the unavailability of the Launchpad PPA packages for BassBoom v1.0, but it was out of our control and we couldn’t solve it ourselves.

Today, we have made the BassBoom v1.0 package available in our Launchpad PPA, which you can check out here.

Additionally, we have finalized the support periods for future BassBoom versions, which you can find here.

Old Nitrocid KS PPA has been removed

Earlier, we have posted a new article that announced the deprecation of the old Launchpad PPA for Nitrocid KS. This PPA was originally released on June 8th, 2020, when we were building Nitrocid KS (Kernel Simulator back then) 0.0.10.0 back then for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Focal Fossa users.

The old Nitrocid KS PPA, kernel-sim, has been officially removed from Launchpad starting from today. You’ll need to change your APT sources to use the new Launchpad PPA for Nitrocid KS, which is nitrocid.

To disable the kernel-sim PPA and to enable the newer Nitrocid PPA, nitrocid, follow these steps:

1. Uninstalling all Nitrocid-related packages from the old PPA
   1. Open the terminal emulator
   2. Run sudo apt purge kernel-simulator
2. Replacing the kernel-sim PPA with the nitrocid PPA
   1. Run sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:eofla/kernel-sim
   2. Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/nitrocid
3. Installing the newer Nitrocid packages
   1. Execute sudo apt update
   2. Follow the instructions by running sudo apt install nitrocid

Once you follow the above steps, you’re now using the new nitrocid PPA instead of the older one. If you fail to remove the kernel-sim PPA from your system, the apt update command will fail with error messages about said PPA.
