DevLog 250713 – Ubuntu Rebuild & MCP Toolchain Checkpoint

After a deep partition cleanup, I’ve rebuilt my environment from scratch with a fresh Ubuntu 22 install, new disk structure, and clean installs of all core tools under the Aryncore MCP project.

The last few weeks were spent reclaiming a new hard drive after partition corruption. I reformatted, reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04, and built back up my full toolchain from zero. All core agents are now checkpointed by a single script: 250705start.sh located in scripts/ of the aryncore-mcp repo. This devlog marks the first successful checkpoint since the rebuild. In the process of cleaning out my hard drive, I also lost access to the email login at arynwood@protonmail.com, so i will share a new email address soon.

Toolchain Validation Script

The checkpoint script validates and optionally launches the following components:

• Ollama: confirmed live with multiple models loaded
• A1111 (Stable Diffusion WebUI): running in Docker on port 7860
• Whisper: detects local venv, reports missing installs
• Tortoise TTS: validates directory presence
• SadTalker: test run attempted, failed due to missing librosa
• Chatterbox: not installed yet
• AnimateDiff: import test successful

./scripts/250705start.sh

Next Steps

From here, I’m shifting toward building the actual user interface. This will be a web UI served from the Forge that lets me:

• Talk to agents (LLMs, tools, personas)
• Trigger n8n automations across systems
• Queue video/audio/text transformations
• Checkpoint and monitor GPU loads

This work will expand into multi-agent chatroom logic with command bindings to Docker, TTS, Stable Diffusion, and animation tools. Prometheus will be hooked into the same UI for observability.

All systems green except for a missing Python dependency in SadTalker. One line fix:

pip install librosa
