That must be the case, this idea dates 15 years or something. The world is is not ready for fileless computer consumption paradigms… or the other way around is my guess.

Hello! I’m trying to access maiden repl via ssh and am getting this error. Is there a fix or workaround for this?

370

Was trying to download some scripts via maiden, and keep getting this error.
x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
Is my computer just denying the GitHub certificate? Other than changing WIFI networks, anyone have ideas about a workaround/fix?

371

Some additional info would make it easier to zero in on the cause:

  • Which scripts were you trying to install?
  • Could you include any additional output in the REPL or screen shots from the UI that show the error in contex?
  • Which version of the norns software are you running?
  • It you run os.execute("date") in the maiden REPL is the date correct?

I can imagine this error being triggered if the software is out of date and some of the root certificates on the device have expired. This can also happen if the clock is really off and the needed certificate isn’t valid for the current time to which the system clock is set. The best way to fix the clock is to make sure the wifi or wired connection is working and reboot the norns device.

Other possibilities include DNS problems in your local network environment but I suspect the error would be different if that were the case.

For sure! For added clarity, I usually add scripts on my down time at work. Then try them out when I get home. My initial guess is that my job has some kind of block on their computers or something. But I’ve always been able to still add scripts in the same environment in the past, so idk.
Anywas!
I was trying to install lightshow using the ;install command in maiden. I already installed it without issue when I got home last night, so I’m testing it now with this other script, ZORNS.

terminal error 
;install https://github.com/BeatRossmy/ZORNS
starting...
install failed: Get "https://github.com/BeatRossmy/ZORNS/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack": x509: certificate signed by unknown authority
;install github.com/BeatRossmy/ZORNS

I believe I’m on the most current firmware 221214.
The date is correct after trying os.execute("date"), but the time is not.
(btw, didn’t know that date trick. Thanks for that!)
I have Norns connected to my work laptop’s hotspot.

373

this suggests your laptop doesn’t have internet access? unless you’re hardwired and then sharing that connection to your laptop hotspot?

can you connect the norns directly to your home wifi router instead?

374

Work laptop is hardwired. I can browse websites and everything perfectly fine.
When I connect to my wifi at home everything works perfectly fine without any hiccups or issues. I’m just curious why the error’s even coming up. It might just be “one of those things” which is fine, just annoying. But definitely not world ending. lol

I tried a forum search but couldn’t find any specific explanation to this:

*** WARNING *** The program 'matron' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-compat.html>
Cannot lock down 82287136 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)

What does this mean?
I have a Fates (probably a Fakes) and running Matron on iMac OS 12.6.5 with Safari
Sorry but I tried to read the blog listed above but I couldn’t understand much of it, I’m not really expert on all this.

376

The warnings are benign, but the memory thing I’m not sure about…

what script were you running when you saw the memory error?

could be wrong but i think the “error” about memory lock for JACK client, is also benign (and is a linux / systemd bug)

Graintopia, if I remember well, or could be no script at all after a reboot, not sure…sorry!

Thanks everyone for helping

380

i’ve seen memory errors after doing some unusual things like rerouting the jack audio but i’ve never noticed any issues so i wouldn’t worry about it unless you see or hear something that appears to be working incorrectly. :slight_smile:

Is anyone else accessing Maiden from Android? Mobile combo is great fun, but Android (11) unfortunately does not figure out the hostname of norns, ie. norns.local via mDNS or whatever that network server and service discovery thing is called, so one needs to each time figure out the IP address either from norns menus to put it in the browser address bar, or I do it from commandline from Termux with this little program

#!/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/sh

local_ip=$(ifconfig 2>/dev/null |awk '/^wlan0/ {getline ;print $2}')
norns_ip=$(echo $local_ip |awk -F"." '{print $1"."$2"."$3".221"}')

echo $norns_ip

The last octet stays the same at .221 so that helps a bit. But has anyone figured out how to inform Android to get the DNS address of norns?

Hi , trying to use my phone to get on maiden as ive got unreliable networks on tour travelling UK/EU for 2 months. i can connect to maiden no problem using a hotspot on norns and data on my iphone … but if i try to update or install i get this error.

install failed: Get “https://github.com/monome/crow-studies/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack”: net/http: TLS handshake timeout

EDIT: same happens when adhoc and using internet sharing on mac os.

any suggestions ?

thanks lines community!!!

384

In order for installations to work I think you would need to turn your phone into a mobile hotspot and then connect norns to the phone’s wifi hotspot. I have not tried this personally but in theory it should work.

I have used internet sharing with a hardwired ethernet connection between norns and a macOS laptop connected to the internet via wifi successfully.

Newbie question – not sure if this is the correct place to ask:
I am trying (again) to learn Lua with norns. When writing Lua code in maiden, I tend to lose overview quickly. Please, is it feasible to have something like a “minimap” or split view in maiden? Thanks much in advance for considering!

I think most folks who write longer scripts use a separate code editor, rather than the Maiden interface. I use VSCode for example. You could try that?

Thanks, I tried using sn external editor (sublime), but couldn’t get used to copying the script in sublime, select all in maiden, paste into maiden, hit run…and repeat this after each code change. Please, is there a better (less clumsy) way to use an external editor than the way I was doing it?

388

Copy-pasting certainly is a drag! I would advice mounting norns over smb (aka Samba) and editing files in your editor as if they were local files once you figure out where your computer mounts the norns filesystem. Then just saving them will save them directly on norns. How to load the script then? Either via norns button combo K1K3K3 or via maiden with a command which I now forgot but it’s maybe norns.script.load() or something like that.

Also, in Maiden you can fold sections of the code that you are not focusing on e.g. functions which really helps I think, and splitting the code into separate files is worth it at some point.

(I use Emacs either on my laptop over either Samba (as above) or SFTP with Tramp (an Emacs thing), or often by running Emacs on norns over remote terminal. emacs.el is very handy for us Emacs users)

Oh yeah, enjoy the learning! Norns is such a wild device :slight_smile: You know the norns Discord server, right?
