#802

hey thanks, i appreciate your help. i tried what you suggested - here’s what i got:

we@norns:~/dust/audio/tape$ ls -S -s
total 13616
13612 hermit_leaves.wav 4 readme.md
we@norns:~/dust/audio/tape$

looks like just the default audio files in the tape section.

i checked that post from brian as well, but it just tells me i have no space left -

we@norns:~/update$ ls
norns181101.tgz
we@norns:~/update$ sudo cp /media/usb0/*.tgz /home/we/update
cp: error writing ‘/home/we/update/norns181101.tgz’: No space left on device
we@norns:~/update$

do you know if there are other directories other than “tape” where i should check for large files?

thanks again for reaching out.

Sounds like it could be a linux issue where the file system wasn’t expanded to fill the storage.

What does this command show?

df -h

It’s maybe huge log files? /var/log I think

hey jonny, this is what i got. looks like dev/root is where the issue lies?

we@norns:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.6G 3.5G 0 100% /
devtmpfs 486M 0 486M 0% /dev

/dev/sda1 58G 145M 58G 1% /media/usb0
tmpfs 98M 0 98M 0% /run/user/1000

i am very much illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff… so apologies if i typed it in wrong but this is what it sent me -

we@norns:~$ /var/log
-bash: /var/log: Is a directory

#806

No worries, try this:

cd /var/log
then
ls -S -s

‘cd’ is the command to change directory. This will get us in the /var/log folder and then list the files in order, with largest first.

alternately you could use this command without cd-ing to the directory

ls -lahS /var/log

This is a directory listing command (ls), showing all items (-a) sorted by size (-S) with human readable size values (-h) ( 2.1G , 151K , 7.1M etc)

sounds like youre right - it looks to be a huge syslog and kern.log… is that something i can clear? or minimize somehow?

#809

something is going on. the log files should not blow up huge like this.

can you run

tail /var/log/syslog

and send it to info@monome.org ?

then short term fix:

sudo rm -rf /var/log/syslog
sudo rm -rf /var/log/kern.log

you should have your disk space back then

#810

thanks brian - email sent. the quick fix worked as well. appreciate it!

Has anyone had any success sending MIDI to a Kenton MIDI USB Host via the Norns? I’m a bit of a novice with the Norns but have a USB Host and cv.ocd box I’m trying to sequence via Awake in Norns. The USB host doesn’t appear to show up under devices.

#812

I bought Norns from day 1 (well almost…if I remember well I got confused with timezones and had to wait for batch 2), but I didn’t touch it. Too intimidating.
I want to create my own stuff, to use with a grid (does it even support arcs ?).
The studies look fantastic, but would they really make me to master the machine ? And they don’t even talk about the SuperCollider side. Ouch.
I’m quite confident with Max/MSP, I can more or less “read” code but never wrote anything in code, except for some super simple arduino stuff. Made a few Teletype + Grid scenes, but it took some time and work.
Would you advice me to give it a chance ? Is it worth it ?

#813

i was in the same boat, i tried to post updates on my progress as i was doing it here, with videos when possible. if you want to see what i was up to and how long it took.

i would say definitely yes. my prior experience was reading “automate the boring stuff with python” and applescript for fixing shortcoming in my company’s workflow. so i knew how to write scripts line by line. but i have tried to do the max/msp tutorials 4 or 5 times and could never work it out well enough to even do the max grid study.

definitely do the studies! don’t worry about supercollider yet. i’d expect once the next update gets pushed for the device with the new soft cut there will be a couple more.

Is that the engine used in mlr ?
Thanks for the reply (and thanks to tehn who, in addition to making wonderful stuff, moved this topic here) !

#815

yes! i haven’t touched softcut yet as i too have been waiting for the study/more documentation—i just successfully got the pattern_time library working on my norns encoders just by staring at the code for it and earthsea and thinking really, really hard, but it is not my favorite way to learn.

absolutely you should give it a try. think of something simple you would like to do and then go from there (after following along to the studies). if you have specific questions about Lua someone here will be able to help.

Yes!

…or I should say it might already or will in the upcoming update. The arc support feature (that I worked on) got merged into the main source code, but I can’t remember when that happened :slight_smile:

I’ve been working on a script and have been wondering, what’s the difference between BeatClock and metro for keeping time? I’m also a little confused about how I can view the API for these 2 components (guessing it’s buried in the repo somewhere). I tried the maiden command to ‘list_commands’ but it didn’t seem to work for metro. It’s still a little weird for me, all the automatic stuff that’s under the surface, but the studies are helping quite a bit.

There’s docs on board http://norns.local/doc/modules/metro.html

beatclock however is a contributed library so you’ll have to look at the raw lua at dust/lib/beatclock.lua
