1 click installer with stereum-launcher can not complete successful on Ubuntu Server 24.04. "noble numbat" because the ansible PPA, which is added in NodeConnection.js Line 156 does not exist:

try {
        installPkgResult = await this.sshService.exec(
          "apt update &&\
                    apt install -y software-properties-common &&\
                    add-apt-repository --yes --update ppa:ansible/ansible &&\
                    apt install -y pip ansible tar gzip wget git"
        );
      }

the ppa for this Ubuntu Version does not exist: https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu/dists/

[debug] stderr got data E: The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file.

however ansible is still installed from the official apt repository, but later the setup is still failing because in the playbook: docker-ubuntu.yaml Line 30

- name: Add Docker Repository
  apt_repository:
    repo: "deb https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu {{ ansible_distribution_release }} stable"

the play also needs this ansible ppa which does not exist and so the playbook run fails:

PLAYBOOK: /opt/stereum/ansible/controls/genericPlaybook.yaml
TASK: Add Docker Repository
ACTION: apt_repository
CATEGORY: FAILED
DATA: {"msg": "Failed to update apt cache: E:The repository 'https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/ansible/ansible/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file., W:Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:The repository 'https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble Release' does not have a Release file.", "_ansible_no_log": null, "changed": false}

error log from the launcher:
