@okyeron is correct, this is not related

Thanks for everyone’s help. I removed and reinstalled grd and everything works. Not sure what happened but I’m excited everything is back to normal. You people rule!

Sooooooo I just went through the usual System > Update steps and everything seemed fine, but I can’t get my shield to boot up! I’ve power cycled a few times now - all I get is two flashes from the green LED and then nothing.

Curious to see if this has happened to anyone else lately. I know I’ve updated at least once since June and didn’t have any issues then. Do I need to reimage or…?

oy, sorry to hear about the trouble – we haven’t heard any similar reports, but you can still access all of your files by inserting your sd card into your computer and looking at the rootfs drive under /home/we/.

if you need to get up and running quickly, i’d suggest grabbing the files you need and doing a fresh flash. if you can, please keep maiden open when you do the next update so you can catch any errors – please keep us updated!

Thanks! I ended up doing a fresh flash and am back in business. Not sure what happened but looks like it’s behind me now. :slight_smile:

Hello! That sounds a lot like what happened to me last night. Flashing the card did the trick.

Instructions are here:

i am perplexed why shield updates are not happening correctly for some people— it worked as expected on mine here. were you all able to re-run it after installing the new image? has anyone succeeded in running the update from the shield?

Yup no problem. I kicked off the update and walked away. When I returned some minutes later the screen was completely blank and unresponsive. I did a power cycle and everything came back up on the correct version.

Are folks unplugging half way though the update maybe?

So, I flashed the micro sd card as described with a new image. Flashing went fine. As soon as I plugged the usb power to my fates, I still get a dark screen and red light…

looks like that my stock norns died after the lasted update and needs a fresh installation.
After the update it won’t go to sleep, so i pressed the reset button. Now it’s dead
:roll_eyes:

Pretty strange, after several power cycles, norns came back to live but with the old version. I re-run the update and now ith runs smooth.

ran the update this morning on my shield with no problems!

I just tried running the update again after flashing and it worked fine this time around.

I had mentioned to Dan yesterday that when I looked at the contents of the card before flashing it, I did notice that some files had a modified date that was actually in the future, but I didn’t investigate further because that was the “ok probably time to flash” moment for me.

When I attach a handler to midi.remove, it’s called with 0 arguments. Is this a regression, an existing bug, or am I doing something wrong?

    midi.add = function (dev)
        -- handler code
    end

my factory Norns has been acting weird since the update. now it shows loading screen, then is blank. I can see it in maiden and add and delete scripts but the screen is blank. after a bit maiden shows
libmonome: error in write: Resource temporarily unavailable

i just started running into this on one of my norns.
i posed the same problem in the Questions area.

sorry to hear about the troubles. fwiw, i’m investigating the most friendly way to capture helpful logs from these types of situations (@Deru, also relevant to a separate post of yours). the less-friendly version is connecting to the norns via serial (https://monome.org/docs/norns/maiden/#serial-no-wifi), and when this happens execute dmesg and then journalctl. you can share the long logs through something like pastebin.

i’ll report back as soon as i have something concrete, if someone else doesn’t first :slight_smile:

Hi !
I try to back up my stock Norns from usb stick (because a lot of big audio files) but when I try with the command lines the answer is Permission Denied.
I try to reflash the usb disk or change the usb stick but no chance…
All the permissions of writing and reading are done on the usb stick.
I follow all the steps but always this message:

Cannot create directory ‘/media/usb/dust’ : Permission denied

If you have a solution for resolve it, it’s welcome :slight_smile:

Hi all! Hijacking this thread… I was wondering, as there’s now a global clock system wich is fully configurable, wich one is prevalent? In app settings or global clock settings?
Actually, I am using awake clocked by midi from a LD3 through a roland A-01 (wich is well defined in the “device” field). Everything is running fine (transport) but from time to time i experiment extreme lagging… wich never occured prior to the update.
I also noticed that when i am set on external sync, i still can change the tempo in the tempo field (both in global settings and in app settings), with no noticeable action on the already sync tempo… but still… on the previous Norns version, this tempo was locked.
Is someone else experiment this kind of glitch?
