i’ll try that tonight. It’s definitely weird, I haven’t really used it at all yet. Certainly haven’t done any programming or anything. Barely installed any scripts yet.

#2096

Update 201029 now available

If you are on 200218 or later
use SYSTEM > UPDATE while connected to the internet.
(please report back if you have problems with this)

If you are running a version prior to 200218, DO NOT USE SYSTEM > UPDATE .
You must update manually via SSH. Instructions are on the release page: https://github.com/fates-project/norns/releases/tag/2.4.4

This release changes some things with regards to MIDI devices - if you run into anything weird with MIDI devices, please get in touch.

If you’re on a newish pi4 and having trouble - please get in touch via DM - I have a new disk image for testing. Looks like there’s some minor hardware changes on the Rev 1.2 boards along with some changes on the 8GB model.

No problems while updating. Thanks for your work!

#2098

I’m not sure if this is the right place but I’m hoping someone can help me

I cannot record to tape - I’m not sure what the problem is, I’ve been through every tutorial I can and nothing is working - bar a total re-install

I can play audio that’s already on fates but it’s showing .json files for each .was file on fates

I’d sure appreciate a little help, I’ve burned hours and hours on this

I’ve been using the tape heavily so it’s something I’ve done recently - I think I copied some MI engines and I’ve removed them but no dice and I’m not sure I even did it correctly

#2099

What steps are you taking to record?

Any errors from Maiden?

Do you have disk space available? (Use df -h from the command line over ssh to check)

Try a SYSTEM>RESET maybe?

Yes I’ve tried reset :slight_smile:

#2104

How did you run your update? I saw you posting over in the main norns update thread, just wondering if you’d attempted some kind of forced update that may have pulled from the norns branch rather than the fates one?

#2105

Have you updated to 201029?

You may want to delete the ~/version.txt file (via ftp or ssh), then run the update from the norns menu.

#2106

Yeah I’ve updated no problem - that’s the thing, it’s not related to any update as it happened before the new firmware update and hasn’t been Changed at all by them…

#2107

What are the contents of the file at ~/dust/audio/tape/index.txt on your system?

You could try deleting that index.txt file and see if that clears the error or not.

Or also check the permissions for that file or directory.
(EDIT - this is sounding like it might be a file permissions problem - getting the output from ls -la in the tape directory and maybe also one level up in audio would be informative)

#2108

Thank you for all your work and time! Update worked fine as usual, needed a system > reset to get sound back after rebooting - tape was fine, but scripts were not.

#2109

everything goes well. thanks

I don’t know what’s going on…my recordings got deleted a week or so ago when this started so I’m super fine with starting off all fresh and new…unless something jumps out

#2112

Create a new tape directory at ~/dust/audio/ (and that will fix it)
