Does not sound normal but you’ve not provided any info about what you’re doing.

Can you post as much detail as possible about what your doing? Specific scripts, steps to reproduce, how things are connected, etc.

Have you tried the troubleshooting tests here?

#1360

A few things: I can’t make a Sandisk 64gb to work either. Also when on battery (Anker) apps that require heavy use of Grid like cheat codes or takt get glitchy. Tried also with offworld no luck.

For some reason the system was unable to boot, it was working fine last night. I tried both the latest and an earlier image. I am using a PI 3+, however it was able to run norns when flesh a 4b image but it has no display on the oled.

might be a disk image issue. did some tests now and I cannot expand filesystem/change localization settings.

Error in raspi-config(generic):
There was an error running option I2 Change Timezone
There was an error running option A1 Expand Filesystem

pi3B+ btw.

After borking my fates install last night (100% my own fault) I ran into the same thing on trying to reinstall Fates from the latest disk image: Could not change timezone, wifi country, or expand filesystem. Here’s how I ended up getting things working again. On my end, it looks like some issue with the Pi4b disk image (fates-pi4b-20200218.img).

This is what I ended up doing after trying 3 different SD cards (2 SanDisk Ultra 32GBs, 1 Samsung EVO 64GB), and trying both Etcher and ApplePiBaker with a variety of options/formatting/so on with no luck until going back to the previous disk image and updating manually. It’s still totally possible it’s all an issue on my end, but this did get my Fates box working again.

  1. I backed up /dust and /sidekick/patches, since I could still access those.
  2. I downloaded the previous disk image, fates-pi4b-20200106.img, and had a moment of thanks it was still available.
  3. Used Etcher to get image onto SD card.
  4. Booted up, connected to wifi, set up timezone, wifi country, and expanded filesystem per the regular directions (it worked!)
  5. Updated to 200218 using the ssh commands.
  6. Reinstalled ORAC, reloaded what I had backed up before.

And we’re back.

Lessons learned: Some things can be unbroken, if I retrace my steps. I hope this helps someone get back to making music if the usual methods aren’t working for them at the moment.

I tried installing fates on my terminal tedium pi and had the same issues with the latest release. Could not change wifi country or expand file system.
Installed an old image i had from fates and all was working after :slight_smile:

Sorry for the disk image troubles.

I didn’t have a chance to re-do them yesterday, but will try today. Image upload takes a loooooooong time for me (slow upload connection) so please be patient.

#1370

Check your power supply or cables. (What are you using?)

The undervoltage warnings in your screen shot are a concern.

FWIW I’m surprised the 4B image worked at all on a 3B+ In general - don’t do this. The kernels are slightly different and this leads to unpredictable results.

#1371

no worries, had an old image around. Just wanted to do a test of the new image. SSHing from 20200106 works fine.

#1372

used this command and it seemed to work after:

sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

:wink:

#1373

There’s also supposed to be a step about resizing the partition?

See here for details:
https://elinux.org/RPi_Resize_Flash_Partitions
(Scroll down to bottom - last section)

#1374

FWIW - I did a few tests and this does work if done after the raspi-config resize.

so… I suggest this for the moment

Start with a fresh flash of SD card and then do the following from the command line (via SSH).

sudo raspi-config --expand-rootfs
sudo resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

Ignore the warning to reboot after the --expand-rootfs command. The resize2fs will take a minute or two to run. Wait for it.

Question for the ones with experience:
Is a heat sink actually necessary for the rPi4 or will it be fine without?

#1376

Is there any ETA on when potentially the source files for the boards will be available? I would love to see how these sorts of boards are made to further my PCB knowledge .
I hope this does not come across as rude. Being thankful :slight_smile:

Hello,

I posting this here since it’s a Fates hardware related issue, please let me know if it belongs somewhere else.

So, I’m having trouble connecting to my Fates via tty, basically, as described here: Norns: help

is you get a bell, please tell us what OS and version you’re using (as this means your FTDI driver isn’t working)

I’m unable to connect and the command doesnt autocomplete when tabbing as described in the sentence, I bought a brand new cable, but that didn’t help, I also installed some FTDI drivers I found online and serialosc just in case, but nothing seems to be working, any tip would be appreciated.

I’m running MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6

#1378

i’ve been fine without, haven’t hit 70 degrees yet.
