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:

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?

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.

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…

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)

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.

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

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

Thank you so much - the hours I’ve spent!!
At least I learned something
Thank you for all this work you do, it’s very appreciated
Now to the tape mobile!!

for anyone having an issue expanding their memory on fates i found this guide useful https://raspberry-projects.com/pi/pi-operating-systems/raspbian/troubleshooting/expand-filesystem-issues

FWIW - I’d suggest only trying the process on that link if you have otherwise not been able to get the disk expanded with the instructions on the github.

updating on a pi 4 , is there a progress bar or is it mean to just hang on checking for update until complete? (via wifi)

Should be something like… checking for update, downloading, updating, update complete.

(I’ll look for the actual steps when I’m back at a computer and fates)

Maiden REPL will show output/progress during update. Maybe try again and watch maiden for status.
