Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't a direct method to force

airbyte-ci

to install an older Ubuntu version. However, I can provide some relevant information and potential workarounds: 1. Specific version installation: According to the [Airbyte Documentation on Upgrading](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/upgrading-airbyte), you can install a specific version of Airbyte using the

values.yaml

file. While this doesn't directly address

airbyte-ci

, it might be a useful approach to control the version you're using. 2. Using `abctl`: The

abctl

tool is mentioned as a way to manage Airbyte installations. As stated in the [Airbyte Documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/upgrading-airbyte#upgrading-with-abctl), you can use

abctl local install

to upgrade to the latest version. However, there's no explicit mention of downgrading or installing older versions. 3. Manual downgrade: In a [GitHub issue comment](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/38927), a user mentions downgrading to an older version by manually pulling older Docker images and updating the

.env

file. This might be applicable to your situation, although it's not specifically about

airbyte-ci

. 4. Disabling updates: A workaround mentioned in a [GitHub issue comment](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/39466) suggests using the flags

--disable-update-check --disable-auto-update

with

airbyte-ci

to prevent automatic updates. This might help you maintain a specific version, though it doesn't directly allow installing an older version. Given the limited information in the knowledge sources about forcing

airbyte-ci

to install an older version, you might need to explore alternative approaches or seek more specific guidance from the Airbyte community or documentation. If this is crucial for your use case, consider opening an issue on the Airbyte GitHub repository to request this feature or ask for more detailed instructions.

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, I can offer some insights into your issue and potential solutions: 1. Connector naming: The error you're encountering suggests that the system doesn't recognize 'source-salesmanago' as a valid connector name. This is similar to an issue described in a [GitHub issue about Source Google Drive](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/34943). In that case, there was a missing name mapping for the connector. 2. Connector location: Ensure that your connector is placed in the correct directory. According to the [Airbyte documentation on connector development](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/tutorial/create-source), new connectors should be located in the

airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/

directory. 3. Connector registration: Your connector might not be properly registered in the Airbyte system. This could explain why it's not recognized as a valid option. 4. Using definitionId: As a workaround, you might be able to use the

definitionId

instead of the connector name. This was suggested in a [comment on a GitHub issue](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/34943#issuecomment-1583148603) for a similar problem. 5. Airbyte version: Ensure you're using the latest version of Airbyte, as mentioned in a [GitHub comment](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/36016#issuecomment-1583981098). Outdated versions can sometimes cause unexpected errors. To resolve this issue, you could try the following steps: 1. Verify that your connector is in the correct directory (

airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/source-salesmanago

). 2. Check if there's a way to register your new connector with Airbyte (this might involve updating some configuration files, but the exact process isn't detailed in the provided sources). 3. Try using the

definitionId

instead of the connector name if possible. 4. Update to the latest version of Airbyte if you haven't already. If these steps don't resolve the issue, you might need to open a new issue on the Airbyte GitHub repository, providing details about your setup and the full error message. The Airbyte team or community might be able to provide more specific guidance for your custom connector.

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I can offer some guidance on registering your Python connector with Airbyte. However, it's important to note that the information is somewhat limited, and the exact process might depend on the specific version of Airbyte you're using. Here are the steps you can follow to register your Python connector: 1. Ensure correct placement: Make sure your connector is placed in the correct directory. According to the [Airbyte documentation on connector development](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/config-based/tutorial/create-source), new connectors should be located in the

airbyte/airbyte-integrations/connectors/

directory. 2. Use the Airbyte code generator: If you haven't already, you might want to use the Airbyte-provided code generator to bootstrap the scaffolding for your connector. This is mentioned in the [environment setup documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/tutorials/custom-python-connector/environment-setup):

cd airbyte-integrations/connector-templates/generator
   ./generate.sh

Select "Python CDK Source" when prompted and provide your connector name (e.g., "source-salesmanago"). 3. Update metadata: Ensure that your connector's

metadata.yaml

file is properly configured. This file should be at the root of your connector's directory. The [Airbyte documentation on QA checks](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/resources/qa-checks#-metadata) mentions that this file is used to build the connector registry. 4. Build the connector: Use the

airbyte-ci

tool to build your connector. The command should look like this:

airbyte-ci connectors --name source-salesmanago build

This is mentioned in the [Airbyte documentation on connector contributions](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-contributions). 5. Load the image: After building, load the newly built image into the

abctl

instance:

kind load docker-image airbyte/source-salesmanago:dev -n airbyte-abctl

6. Update connector version in Airbyte UI: - Go to the Airbyte web interface (usually at http://localhost:8000) - Navigate to Settings > Sources - Find your connector and update its version to use your docker image tag (default is

dev

) 7. Clear connector specification cache: As mentioned in the [documentation on connector specification caching](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally#connector-specification-caching), you might need to clear the cache for your changes to take effect: - In the Airbyte UI, go to Settings > Sources - Leave the version set to

dev

- Click "Change" to save the changes, which will refresh the dev connector's spec
