Boot Screen Error

danny4213 · July 25, 2020, 10:34pm

Hi everybody, complete noob here.

Received a zynthian kit as a gift and am trying to get everything working together. I assembled the hardware as well as I could and got to a boot screen error. Everything in the webconf looks right to me, but again complete noob:

Any help would be awesome to just get me past the boot screen. Thanks!

Hi @danny4213, welcome to the fun house. It looks like JACK isn’t staying which may be due to incorrect sound card selection. First thing is to check you have selected the correct kit from the Hardware menu in webconf.

danny4213 · July 26, 2020, 1:10am

Thanks riban. I have the audio injector sound card and that is what I have selected in the webconf. I don’t have a kit selected because I believe what I was gifted was more pieces than a complete kit. I already had the sound card.

Any other suggestions you think I could try? Is there a way for me to disable/enabled certain things at a time to root cause the problem? Thanks again.

wyleu · July 26, 2020, 1:27am

Disconnect the audio card and see if you can start the device up as audio dummies. That will prove the rig and make sure there isn’t a problem with the io cables which tend to be where problems often occur.
A zynth that can’t start jack normally won’t run the gui but you can get on from the webconf as you have done so you know some processes are running.
Audio injector cards can be temperamental especially after upgrades but I haven’t managed to damage one yet. A good test of the audio injector is burn a raspbian ssd and see if it works with that.

It’s frustrating because you start questioning things but do try making a new zynth ssd cos I’ve had problems that a reburn of the ssds cures.

Just don’t take it personally it’s just tech. Something is preventing it starting but when it’s cleared it won’t remember! The debug gui window can be very helpful and there is logging on via ssh, stopping the Zynthian process, systemctl stop zynthian, CD into /zynthian/Zynthian-ui and run python zynthian_gui. py. That way you get to see the python error that stops the gui…

Oh and some photos really help. That’s how we often catch the reversed edge connectors and such like.

Hi !

I encountered exactly the same issue after a fresh install on a bare Rpi with a waveshare 3.5 A screen.

I had exactly the same behavior and same logs.

The issue really seems to come from jack.

Here what I’ve done from now :

aplay -l

root@zynthian:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Device [USB Audio Device], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

changed in /usr/share/alsa/alsa.confparams defaults.ctl.card and defaults.pcm.card from 0 to 1 (my generic USB card number)
start jack specifying my card number: jackd -Rd alsa -d hw:1 -r 48000 -p 1024 -n 2

UI Starts !!!

But failed after few seconds :

Here are jack output :

Many thanks !!!

Is there something else I have to do after having modified /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf ?

Looks like this is also a problem. Zynthian is expecting a lot of things to be card0.

Jul 26 21:42:53 zynthian startx[18667]: ERROR:zynthian_engine_mixer.get_controllers_dict: Command 'amixer -M -c 0' returned non-zero exit status 1.

urukai · July 27, 2020, 7:32pm

@Baggypants thanks !

Do you know where the card number in this command line is defined ?

in fact, in my case card number has to be number 1.

When I launch with card 0 :
root@zynthian:~# amixer -M -c 0
Invalid card number.
Usage: amixer [command]

When I launch with card 1 :
root@zynthian:~# amixer -M -c 1

Don’t use card number in JACK startup. Use card name as detailed here, e.g. -d hw:DEVICE. (It is the name shown in aplay -l after card x: before the friendly name in square brackets but remember to prefix with hw:.
ALSA enumerates sound devices (including audio and MIDI interfaces) as it detects them which can result in different index on each boot, especially if you have USB devices plugged in which may be detected at different time. Advice is to unplug everything and set zynthian soundcard to “Dummy Device” in webconf and check if Zynthian boots then change soundcard in webconf to correct device (and adjust jack parameters as describe above if necessary) and reboot.

Note that there are several services which depend on JACK and upon which Zynthian depends and it is challenging to restart JACK and get everything working so a reboot is often the simplest / quickest way to get things working after changing JACK settings, especially in webconf which won’t be picked up by any currently logged in (ssh) sessions.

Thank you so much !!!

I solved my issue, not the cleaner way but it works and I’ve made my first jam with the beast !

In fact :

I edited /etc/systemd/system/jack2.service to change my card number on this line and get the following result : ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/jackd -P 70 -t 2000 -s -d alsa -d hw:1 -r 44100 -p 256
I followed this tuto to make calibration on the touchscreen : Could this be the end of all touch screen calibration issues?

And that’s all !!!

Many thanks !

Hey! I’ve been trying to understand how to do this on my Zynthian. Can you tell me what SD image version you used?

Fantastic! Would you mind sharing a sound from your Zynthian here on the forum? We would love to hear what it can do!

wyleu · July 28, 2020, 5:24am

Excellent! Unfortunately I see NO evidence of this…

urukai · July 28, 2020, 5:36pm

@Jtunes

I downloaded 2020-05-27-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0-RC2 iso

I’ve just made a new fresh install with this only 2 steps and everything was fine for me

@wyleu unfortunately this jam was an ephemeral topic experience work

Jtunes · July 28, 2020, 10:37pm

But still, we need some evidence that your Zynthian is alive! A sound, a melody, a whole song - it doesn’t matter! We would love to hear anything you can make your Zynthian do!

(For future reference, that’s what stands for around here.)

urukai · July 28, 2020, 10:53pm

@Jtunes

Oh ! sorry ! is there a special method to share something ? I’ll need to test how to record !

I’ll use my Zynthian on ma guitar pedalboard. I’ll use an ABY switcher with 1 loop for pure guitar sound and 1 loop for a guitar-to-midi encoder (https://www.sonuus.com/products_i2m_mp.html) plug to the pi

Maybe first, I’ll show you picture of the whole thing, but I need to finish first (I’m not a very fast guy )

Jtunes · July 29, 2020, 2:29am

Read this.

riban · July 29, 2020, 5:13am

Then after recording, converting to ogg and downloading (all described in the link @Jtunes gave), just copy the ogg file to a message in this Discourse topic.

urukai · July 29, 2020, 11:41pm

Sorry guys, I encountered new issues on the same thing :
1. the card number config was not persistent after an unplug of battery power
I changed the hw:0 by hw:1 in the audio web config, in advanced fields, and now it’s persistent at each boot
2. the screen calibration is not persistent after a simple reboot
I didn’t read the topic till the end … I have the same issue.
I tried to make the calibration script launched at startup with crontab and rc.local but without success
