Update 200328

If you are on 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/2.3.1

If you are on 200218
use SYSTEM > UPDATE while connected to the internet.
(please report back if that does not work)

If you are on 200323 you need to do some extra steps via SSH*

First you want to SSH to the machine and do

cd ~/norns
git status

if this says you are ahead by X commits, then you will need to do the following:

git reset --hard origin/master
git pull
git submodule update --recursive --init

then SYSTEM>RESET

and then SYSTEM>UPDATE

* I broke something in the last update so this fixes it.

Sorry for the screw up everyone

Just updated. Everything went smoothly .

Also finally managed to find a workaround for the headphones volume. The easiest way to alter the volume is to just run alsamixer since the driver has full control of the chip and that’s the reason i2c isn’t working. I made a quick hack to have i2c.c sending values to alsamixer and now hp level works fine. I wont share the code publicaly since I literally learnt the basics of reading C three days ago and this is a super ugly hack but if anyone wants to fix it and make it public just pm me .

Oh cool! Send me a DM with that if you have a minute. I’ve always been bothered that the alsamixer thingy (driver?) didn’t expose the headphone levels.

Mine refuses to update… I can get to the “update found: 200328 install?” screen, but pressing K3 doesn’t allow it to proceed with download and installation.

Currently using 200323, followed the steps you mentioned. The only hiccup was that after “git pull” It asked me who I was, (email and name).

#1506

git reset --hard origin/master

is the crucial part there. If that doesn’t work, you might need to try the manual update, or I can tell you what to edit by hand to make it work via DM

Sorry, amateur mistake of mine to exclude the “–hard origin/master” and ”–recursive --init” parts. Didn’t understand that was actually part of the commands and not just notes. Thank you, it’s working now!

#1508

im getting exatly the same errors

fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got ‘we@norns.(none)’)

192.168.0.8 ~/norns $ git submodule update --recursive --init

192.168.0.8 ~/norns $ git reset --hard origin/master

HEAD is now at d45540f2 fix bad merge

192.168.0.8 ~/norns $

#1509

Last part means you should be ok.

Just do the SYSTEM>RESET
and then SYSTEM>UPDATE

(from the on device norns menu)

@okyeron FYI Update from the system menu on a clean 200218 install was successful.

thanks @okyeron, i did the ‘manual update’ last night, and all seems to be working fine…

(the headphone volume seems to be a bit high again, but that easy to resolve, and might just be a bit high for my ‘taste’)

I think all the MIX levels got reset to maximum in the update (params getting mappings etc). I’d need to re-check that hp level setting thing I did.

#1517

For me all the mix levels reset to max every time I reset fates from menu. I don’t have a norns so I have no idea what should be the behaviour.

#1518

Smooth update from 200323 according to the clear instructions. Again, thanks a lot for your work!

Thanks. I had 200323, and those SSH steps worked for me.

#1520

question, is the SYSTEM>UPDATE resetting tape count to zero still? Need to know if I should split my tape folder again.

#1521

hmmmm… searching…

I think so: https://github.com/monome/norns/pull/1027
