can you narrow this down to startup lock when you’re booting into a particular script?

(i had this happen yesterday with a glut-based script (angl) and it’s the old supercollider timeshift bug.)

#4

hmmm…
i generally always clear all scripts before SLEEP.

but…i think when i ran into this the other day i had forgot to clear and it had booted up into Cheat Codes 2.

i haven’t run into it again yet.

#5

Mine was running the new cheat codes. Will test tonight with others.

@ngwese @tehn any possibility this could be related to pesky urb status...?

(if it really is specifically with USB device connected on boot… on a particular port…)

same unit seems to also show libmonome errors…

#7

Hard to tell. I can do some testing. If this was related to the USB bus having one of its urb freak outs there would be ample output in dmesg

I thought I was running into this screen goes blank after the dust animation finishes problem just the other day but it turned out that the power adapter had been unplugged and the battery was at 0%. There was just enough to boot the device then —— poof.

#8

ah yeah that’s a really good point.

it should be in big letters somewhere:

always perform updates on wall power
reproduce issue on wall power before reporting

(esp. with hungry USB devices)

for updating we can actually programmatically require power, as i just put in a pr which allows distinguishing shield from norns

side note, cc is poll heavy so this is likely a timesync issue

#10

Tested on abacus, animator, and arcologies. Getting Blank screen on after dust animation still. Device is plugged in. Same as above, responds after port 1 is unplugged and replugged.

apologies if you already did this - can you shell into norns, run dmesg, and post the last 20-30 lines or so?

also just to confirm - only an issue with grid plugged on boot?

yes. Only seeing it with the grid plugged in.

#13

yeah that looks pretty fishy.

@tehn, AFAIK, the time-sync issue should only emerge with supercollider, not with softcut polls

was running into this blank screen problem with one of the norns.
it’s the one i have the MIDI Fighter Twister connected to for @dan_derks Cheat Codes 2.

after reading a bit above i killed the connection to the Twister with the USB hub and gave it the Vulcan Death Grip (K3-K2-K1) and it started back up.
it seems fine now.
:slight_smile:
is there a fix for this or is it just something to be wary of?

#17

some sort of error must be occurring at startup that is in the system state.

are you able to replicate this fail state?

if so, open maiden, type ;restart into the repl and maybe we can get the error

#18

tried to replicate…
of course…now that i am looking for it to happen…it behaves.
ugh…ok…i will report if i can catch it!
:slight_smile:

#19

ok…
i made sure everything was powered up on the USB hub at startup with the problem norns and it did it again from a cold wake up.

since the WiFi dongle had juice i was able to send it a ;restart.
it booted up again and now it seems to behaving.

not sure if there anything helpful in here…but this is what maiden says:

Unrelated but how do you do that cool drop down magic? I can’t seem to figure it out

#21

did ;restart get your screen back? unfortunately nothing looks wrong with that startup sequence.

@MatthewAshmore do this:

yeah…a ;restart always seems to do the trick!
