How’s Roon on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS?

[Kuryan_Thomas]

Has anyone tried Roon on Noble Numbat x64?

Thanks.

Don’t know about Ubuntu. But my Roon Server runs rock solid on my 2014 Mac Mini with the latest Linux Mint.

For people struggling with Roon 2.0.25 on Linux with Bottles/Wine

I encountered many issues (hard locks, mouse pointer, …) with wayland in general on current Ubuntu 22.04 LTS; switching to x11 resolved them. See also: Also using x11 and not wayland. PS: I was still using the old runner (Wine-GE-Proton8-17) without issue but now switched to the latest 8.22 out of convenience (for me) too.

Are you referring to Roon Server (native Linux) or Roon GUI?

The former should work fine, but the latter won’t, since there are no Wine libraries for Numbat.

[Kuryan_Thomas]

Sorry, yes, I should have specified I’m on Ubuntu Server, running Roon Server. No GUI at all: lights-out rackmount server computer.

Sounds like I’m good to upgrade in that case?

Not tried personally, but I can’t imagine that 24.04 and 22.04 are built all that differently that would cause any issues from a do-release-upgrade. But now that you mention it, time for me to run the upgrade as well.

[Martin_Webster]

I had a test server ruining fine on 23.10 and didn’t see it pop up as an issue during the upgrade, so think you’ll be fine.

Just installed 24.04 desktop and winehq-staging 9.8. Roon GUI is running fine.

When I wanted to install Roon on Wine, WineHQ hadn’t sorted the new binaries for Numbat, so I installed stable from the Ubuntu repo. This works fine, too, and is stable over 24+ hours.
