just updated today, update itself went smoothly


I get really laggy navigation of the new menu system. inconsistent amounts of encoder turns are required to switch between pages and levels seems to lock my norns up entirely. encoders don’t respond at all with visual feedback, but hitting k1 updates everything all at once and I am unable to exit levels with e1.

unsure if this is an encoder issue or an update issue, but help would be appreciated

edit - also just getting infinite engine loading on all scripts

Is there anyway to list the available fonts? I saw that @zebra added a bunch, but the api docs are only registering 1-14. (I really just want to know what the magic number is for tom thumb :sweat_smile: )

#88

fixed! thanks so much for the heads up! :revolving_hearts:

#89

what version are you starting with? can you connect to maiden so we can see the potential error? was the USB stick inserted on boot? have your tried a different port?

@Justmat Tom is #25, thanks for the reminder to update the font list

@karst locking on levels is very unexpected. can you check maiden for errors?

I get no reported errors on matron when it locks on levels.

I’m also getting no loading of any engines.

#91

you need to check the maiden output from the sc tab. you likely have duplicate engines that need to be cleaned up.

#92

the sc tab show no activity at all. I deleted dust-v1 over sftp and have done nothing else since installing, so I don’t know where engines could have been duplicated.

#93

augh, that’s not good. did the original install go smoothly?

it might be worth re-running through installer which would need to be done via a serial connection. have you done this before?

#94

version 181101, and yeah that’s the other issue I can’t seem to be able to maintain a connection to my network, I’ve tried hotspot and it even worse. keep loosing the connection. maybe I should try another wifi dongle?

i’d suggest skipping straight to doing a manual update:

Update in 10 simple steps

(edit of original post by @carvingcode)

Step 1: Download the update file.
Step 2: Copy the file to a FAT-formatted USB disk. Attach the USB disk to the norns and power up.
Step 3: Attach USB A to USB mini cable between the norns and the computer. The one that comes with norns for use with the power adapter works fine for this.
Step 4: Open a Terminal app. On MacOS, use the keyboard shortcut Command - Space, then enter “terminal” in the search window. On Windows, use Window + R, then type “cmd”. On Linux, there are several different methods. Search “How do I open Terminal in Linux with keyboard?” for the best way for your Linux version.

Step 5: Type (don’t copy/paste) this line into the Terminal window. Note: Replace (tab) with an actual press of the TAB key on your keyboard.

screen /dev/tty.usb(tab) 115200

Step 6: When you see the blank Terminal screen, press RETURN or ENTER.
Step 7: Log in to norns, using ‘we’ for login and ‘sleep’ for password.
Step 8: Check to see you have enough disk space to perform the update by enter the following into the Terminal window. You should see 80% or less in the top-right.

	df

Step 9: Enter the following, one line at a time. Wait for each line to complete before entering the next. Note: Some lines take up to a minute to complete. Be patient.

sudo cp /media/usb0/norns190405.tgz ~/update/
cd update
tar xzvf norns190405.tgz
tar xzvf 190405.tgz
cd 190405
./update.sh

Step 10: Lastly, enter the following to shutdown norns, then manually restart by holding Key 1 for 3 seconds.

	sudo shutdown now

That’s it. You should be up and running in v2

I thought it did, but apparently not. I haven’t done the serial connection yet for norns, but more or less comfortable with command line, so let me know what to do (assuming it’s different from the manual update instructions above).

there is an extra 0 hiding in the second tar command, just in case someone gets stuck there

update
doing the manual update the second time seems to have worked, thanks for the help

Updated to 2.0.0 - all went well though I’ve not tried any programs/scripts yet.
Big thanks all round to everyone for their efforts - so good to be part of this community.
Right - I going to work through the tutorials again to bring myself up to date.

Ah! have a problem from the off getting this error when selecting play

norns.script.load("code/DDD/study1%2001")

# script load: /home/we/dust/code/DDD/study1%2001

file not found: /home/we/dust/code/DDD/study1%2001

<ok>

actually probably best to report under Norns:Studies ? What do you think
Just brought it here as may be a norns 2.0 issue?

Solved can’t tell the difference between a ‘-’ and a ‘=’ - apols for clutter!

#98

I can add a ‘smooth update’ data point.

I haven’t run through the apps yet, but have updated my script in progress to fix grid and midi code breaks and that was fairly straight forward as well.

Thanks all!

Looking for feedback from anyone who has downloaded lots of scripts - like maybe every script from Library? (At the moment I have 44 scripts in my SELECT menu.)

Are you experiencing any “sluggishness” or “lag” when going from SELECT to the script list?

#100

I think I have D/L all of them and have not noticed that behavior

#101

OK so I have 31 scripts (Don’t know where you found those last 13 ones but enlighten me !) I checked and I wouldn’t call that sluggishness (it takes about half a second maybe less?) but upon trying to load the “system” menu afterward I notice it’s almost immediate at button press, which is definitely not the case for the select menu, so I’d say there’s definitely some latency although it’s almost unnoticeable, and as you’ve got 13 more scripts than I do, I guess it might increase the more scripts you add ? It’d make sense I guess.

#102

Sorry if this has been answered, but when will the image be available? (Edited as “full” might be misleading. Sorry!)

#103

Mmm can someone explain full image to me?

I meant in context of the above question. Pi newbie here - is not the 2.0 download an ‘image’ ?

#104

I’m having trouble adding my network from the Wifi menu. I can see it in the list and enter a password but hitting “OK” just takes me back to the Wifi menu with no change. Hotspot works fine but is a drag.

I took a look at wifi.lua and saw that the script puts the network name in single quotes. My network name does have a single quote in it so I tried changing the name to no avail. Also, trying to add any other network detected results in the same non-result.

Apologies if this has been addressed upthread, I searched but didn’t find anything.
