Description of Issue

After update, Roon desktop (wine on linux) is unable to connect to the NUC/ROCK core anymore. It is showing the core, but says “initializing” … was just using it just before update to stream to a rpi based headphone setup. After update it is not connecting.
I am using my other devices, an android phone with older build(795) and an android tablet running new build (806).

Hey @Santanu_Sinha,

Thanks so much for letting us know of this right away. And sorry about the trouble as the update was released :sweat:

Have you tried rebooting your Core? Turning it off, unplugging it completely and turning it back on. Does that help?

Sadly this belongs in the #tinkering section – already reported there, but no solution so far (see mine and following posts there):

No (not a Core problem).

It is indeed not a core problem. Restarted the core and other android devices are working fine with updated app.

Looks like something to do with a cert or tls handling while communicating with the core. Not sure.

I know Roon on Linux is not officially supported, however a fix would be highly appreciated. I do not have any Windows/Mac systems at home.

Hi,

today I made the same mistake and updated my Roon Desktop on Wine 6 in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to 806.
Previous version (795) worked nice in Linux. Now I’am stuck on ‘initializing’. Reboots didn’t help.
It’s frustrating, I did few Roon upgrades in the past with no problem. Even upgrade of Wine from 5 to 6 went fine.

Hey @vlad_k,

I am so sorry we didn’t see this until today…so much later than we had wanted.

I was wondering if this is still an issue or that, maybe, subsequent releases helped? Could you please let us know if there’s anything we can do? :nerd_face:

This is still broken in the latest update. So no desktop roon experience for Linux folks anymore. :frowning:

I have already solved this here:

First solution was to downgrade to 1.7.

Later I upgraded Ubuntu from 18.04 to 20.04 and then I was able to use latest Roon version again.

To make matters worse it broke again after MESA drivers upgrade in 20.04. The solution was rather easy:

export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.6
