to be clear, @ngwese (and everyone who worked in the maiden improvements, thanks so much! The new features are awesome and I’ve really enjoyed playing around with things the past couple days. The experience of editing and using maiden is really neat, I like using it a lot.

Those requests on update and install behavior were just to get the ball rolling on trying to make things happen on that front, apologies if they felt pushy or ungrateful, definitely not my intention!

Will move discussion on that front to github later this evening if I get some time. I was thinking about it, and the update all feature could be implemented naively without doing a hash check by trying to update all packages, and then surpressing already up to date errors if they happen. I think the one (or a couple) clicks to update everything would sort of make the knowing which packages are up to date indicator less valuable. might be some unintended reasons why that might not be the best idea, we can figure out on github the implementation details.

No problem at all. I was just giving you a hard time. You’ve certainly contributed to maiden in lot’s of ways over it’s lifetime thus far!

Just updated from the last stable release to this release via SYSTEM > UPDATE. Device now won’t fully boot. Nothing plugged in to USB ports. Hard reset several times (with white reset button on back). Light on back intermittently blink from orange to white for a minute or two, then steady orange. Screen remains dark throughout. No custom scripts or custom code installed on the operating system. Please advise.

can you still connect via wifi? if not you can use serial.

try running the update manually (instructions in the docs, sorry, on my phone)

in case you can’t find it right away: https://monome.org/docs/norns/help/#manual-update, replace references to 191016 with 191028 tho!

(we gotta stay on these new version doc updates, apologies!)

No wifi, no screen.

Where are the docs on connecting serially?

At https://monome.org/docs/norns/#connect “Connect via serial” sends me to a page that describes connecting via wifi.

That copy failure for the catalog files is actually fine/normal. They aren’t required, only the source files are.

Success. Thanks all.

I noticed the last timestamp on the syslog file is Sept 22 2018. Is there another place kernel/OS system activity is collected?

When Kira_Midi is installed via madien it’s adding extra folders and scripts and “engines?” In it’s folder and then makes Norns not happy. If you just instal via SFTP it well “works but the actual script isn’t fully functional” works as expected. I don’t know enough about how to see errors and or monitor on madien.

#61

I took a quick look and the GitHub repository for Kria_Midi is setup differently than most/all other projects. I just updated the catalog to point directly at the zip file which is referenced in the discussion thread: Kria MIDI

If you remove the previously installed kria_midi, refresh the community catalog, and then install kria_midi again you should (hopefully) be working.

As someone who spent a few hours 2 days ago, re-updating my entire norns library, this update is amazing, I keep being impressed by how streamlined and elegant the experience is becoming with each new code addition, it’s unvaluable, I loved Norns at reception, I love it so much more a year later.

It’s still installing extra things(a data folder and info, a super colider folder and info) into the Kria folder that messing up Norns not sure why this one is getting messed up via madien. If you download it from glit it does not have all the extra stuff and installs fine. Everything else’s I have installed is working just great and the new flow is otherwise great compared to doing it all manually.

#65

Have you hit the refresh button on the community catalog? Currently the catalogs are only downloaded when the refresh button is clicked.

I was able to test on my norns that as of about 12 hours ago things were working (one more pass at getting the URL correct!)
