I am trying this (since I can no longer delete files), but am not seeing a config folder on norns to put this config file in? What is the exact path where this file needs to be placed on norns? Thanks @tehn

FWIW I cannot even manage files via SMTP any longer… would like to get this resolved ASAP as I have a recording session this afternoon, thanks again!

#48

According to the command in @tehn’s post, move it to /etc/samba/

#49

Thanks for replying. That’s what I assumed, but I do not see an etc folder on norns when I SFTP in. It starts me in the we folder and I can’t go back from there just forward. Hope that makes sense. Thanks again

#50

You can do it via ssh. If the conf file is put at the root of where you go when you sftp,

ssh we@norns.local
Type “sleep”
mv config_filename /etc/samba

#51

this is fixed in the new update. just run the update.

Thanks for the repsonse. I ran the update this morning and that’s when it started happening. I just tried again and it says it’s up to date. I will try to update the samba config via ssh.

#53

I am getting permissions issues via ssh as well:

10.0.0.41 ~/dust $ mv smb.conf /etc/samba
mv: replace ‘/etc/samba/smb.conf’, overriding mode 0644 (rw-r–r--)? yes
mv: cannot move ‘smb.conf’ to ‘/etc/samba/smb.conf’: Permission denied

Sorry to be a pain. Any ideas?

#54 
sudo mv smb.conf /etc/samba

something in the update must not have gone correctly if you’re still having issues. you can re-run the update by deleting /home/we/version.txt and restarting

#55

Deleted version.txt, re-ran the upgrade and still getting the same permissions error after a restart. Will try again to move the samba config. Thanks

#56

Still getting permissions error even after sudo new config file:

10.0.0.41 ~ $ cd dust
10.0.0.41 ~/dust $ sudo mv smb.conf /etc/samba
10.0.0.41 ~/dust $ Connection to norns.local closed by remote host.
Connection to norns.local closed.

The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

Any other ideas? Sorry but really want to get this resolved.

#57

have you restarted your laptop?

that connection lost message above— did you restart your norns via the menu at this point?

#58

Have not restarted laptop, will do that now. Connection lost was a sleep on norns since it looked like it had succeeded. Will let you know, thanks Brian

#59

i’ll try to think of further tests, but it’s like your laptop and norns got stuck in a confused state.

in the meantime you can certainly use SFTP for moving files around.

#60

Laptop restarted, same result trying to delete a file via samba connection. Same thing via SFTP. Using Transmit, getting “Could not delete ._benolis.lua - Make sure you have permission to modify this file.”

#61

Looks like I can delete some folders, just not benojlis. Weird. Thanks for the help I really appreciate it and all that you guys do.

#62

ssh in, do

sudo rm -rf /home/we/dust/code/file

or wherever ._benolis.lua exists to force remove it

#63

sorry you were having so many issues, it always seems to happen right when it’s important it not right @yobink :sweat_smile: I hope your recording session goes good!

Thanks, all will be fine. I just can’t update Benjolis, but I just need to watch my levels in the meantime :slight_smile:

To use SMB network sharing on Windows 10, I had to do the following:

Navigate to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features > Turn windows features on or off, and turn on the SMB features. Reboot.
The norns.local share is available at \\norns.local, not smb:\\norns.local

I’m not able to map the \\norns.local address for some reason, but otherwise the feature seems to work well, dragging the folder to the quick access list in explorer is kind of the same thing.
