Old Nitrocid KS PPA to be removed June 15th
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
, will be officially removed from Launchpad on June 15th, 2025. You’ll have exactly a week 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:
- Uninstalling all Nitrocid-related packages from the old PPA
- Open the terminal emulator
- Run
sudo apt purge kernel-simulator
- Replacing the
kernel-sim
PPA with the nitrocid
PPA- Run
sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:eofla/kernel-sim
- Run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/nitrocid
- Installing the newer Nitrocid packages
- Execute
sudo apt update
- 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 failed to remove the kernel-sim
PPA from your system before the abovementioned deadline, the apt update
command will fail with error messages about said PPA.
