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.

Old Nitrocid KS PPA to be removed June 15th

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:

  1. Uninstalling all Nitrocid-related packages from the old PPA

  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 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.
