Norns 2.0.0

[xeric]

just a small heads up: these all include new engines, so a restart after install is required.

Didn’t realize that! Definitely good to know. Unfortunately didn’t fix the problem

weiiiiiiird. even when you hit K2 in the SELECT , SYSTEM , etc menu?

Yes, although upon a closer look it seems like I’m stuck on STATUS: activating so perhaps it’s never actually connecting to my WiFi at all

EDIT: Okay… so after seeing @tehn ’s comment here: FM7 (Norns)? I realized I needed to rename the folders & after checking the output in Matron the other problem was that I was installing them in the we/ folder, and they needed to be in the top level dust/code directory.

Thanks everyone!

I thought menu item 1 equated to port 1?

The midi/grid/arc/hid “port” number in the menu listing does not correspond to the physical USB “ports” in any way.

The menu listing of usb plugged devices are “virtual ports” and can be changed/reassigned.

“Port” in this context is ambiguous and perhaps we need better/different terminology?

AH!
Thanks for clarifying all that!
I rely on everyone here to know more about this than I do!
That’s why I am crashing things and such.

I seriously need a “norns for dummies” thread in here somewhere.

I just want to make noiz and not have to fight with the noiz weapon to make the noiz.

@okyeron looks like github-created zip archives do not transfer the .git metadata as you mentioned.

I also think showing the hidden files still doesn’t transfer them in cyberduck

Here’s me dragging gemini from norns to my desktop. You can see that the .git forlder was present when in cyberduck, but not in my terminal when I ls -a on the desktop copy.

so a message for everyone, at least for the time being.

If you want to manage grabbing new script changes with git pull, make sure to git clone the repos while ssh’d into norns, instead of using sftp

I’m having trouble with WIFI as well. Hotspot works for now though. I was able to connect on 2.0 beta. Let me know if you find a solution!

I’m having trouble with WIFI as well.

search on here for nmtui to fix

[adrianf]

Hi there, I’ve tried nmtui as well as fooling around with nmcli. I can see my network but i cannot connect. I was able to connect with nmtui in 2.0 beta.

edit: Oh my goodness. I got it to work. I tried nmtui again and kept removing and adding my network over and over. It was most likely timing out? Thanks @speakerdamage

I don’t have this problem with Transmit (which I’ve been using for FTP since the dark ages). It copies the whole folder (with .git, etc) no problem via drag-n-drop.

[yobink]

That’s good to know. I’ve been using FileZilla since I’m usually at my work machine. I will go back to using transmit on OS X.

do you know your networks settings? what is the signal strength shown on the norns wifi menu? we need to collect data for future troubleshooting.

[adrianf]

On boot up:

Status: activating
Network: lowerkananaskis
IP:
Signal: dBm

I then screen into norns and start running nmtui and start logging with journalctl -f -u NetworkManager > log.txt & tail -f log.txt.

after about 30-40 min I get success after repeated adding/removing/re-activating my network SSID in nmtui.

Status: activated
Network: lowerkananaskis
IP: 192.168.0.33
Signal: -54 dBm

I have attached the log. I apologize in advance that it contains all my attempts for around that length of time. log.txt (207.1 KB)

Let me know if I can provide any more information or assistance.

[noiserock]

Is it possible to rename tape recordings within norns?

[AlessandroBonino]

not yet, but @tehn is studying some fun naming function

[jlmitch5]

here’s a simple line that loops over every directory in dust/code and executes git pull origin master which will update it if it is a git repo (and the mainline branch is master). please use at your own risk, it is not the safest thing to pull in arbitrary code changes from a bunch of repos

ssh we@norns.local
// enter sleep
// from the home (~) directory, execute the line below
for dir in dust/code/*/; do cd $dir; git pull origin master; cd ../../..; done

[simonvanderveldt]

We’ve seen some initial connection issues within the dev crew a couple of times whilst the reception wasn’t very good. I believe just moving norns closer to the accesspoint/router to connect the first time made it work all the time for those cases.

It’s working fine for me with a signal value of ±65 using nmcli device wifi list.

Took a second to understand the new script organizing / Library / SFTP vibe but now that I get it, its so great. Much faster and now I am more frequently engaged w/ Maiden. 2.0 is great - thank U all!

[nosollution]

Much appreciation for the work that went into 2.0; Arc functionality is great!

@nosollution

[SPIKE]

@nosollution
cool looking use of the Arc!
looking forward to your app!

[glia]

have to once again say thanks to all who worked hard on this release and updated their apps

honestly still haven’t gotten around to using some code in the library
we are truly spoiled for choice!

[atomboyd]

What script is that? Hard to see, but real pretty!

[nosollution]

Thanks @atomboyd!

It’s a midi-note recorder work-in-progress. The Arc controls an adjustable window that optionally constrains playback and overdubbing to a range within the original full loop. At the moment it just records triggers and note values (i.e. not gates . . . that’s a longer range goal).
