I’m experiencing an issue while trying to install Netdata using the kickstart script on **Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble)**. The installation fails due to unmet dependencies.

**Command used:** `wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh && sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh`

**Error details:** The system reports a version mismatch between `netdata` and its plugins:

- `netdata-plugin-chartsd` depends on `netdata (= 2.8.0-172-nightly)` but `2.8.0-167-nightly` is to be installed.

- `netdata-plugin-pythond` depends on `netdata (= 2.8.0-172-nightly)` but `2.8.0-167-nightly` is to be installed.

**Suggested template:**

## Environment/Browser/Agent’s version etc

The version mismatch occurs because the nightly build system is publishing packages with inconsistent version numbers. The plugin packages (`netdata-plugin-chartsd`, `netdata-plugin-pythond`) are being built with a newer version (172) than the core `netdata` package (167), causing APT dependency resolution to fail.

We advise you to install using the stable release channel instead of nightly:

`wget -O /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh ``https://get.netdata.cloud/kickstart.sh`  
`sh /tmp/netdata-kickstart.sh --stable-channel`

@microvax It might have been a temporary problem, can you try again?
