It's time for Buster RC-2. Testers Needed!

HI @zynthianers!
It seems that last images have problems. As i’m in a little country house, my band is really small and i can’t test the latest SD images. This is the reason i have not released a new SD image. I will visit Barcelona in the next days, so ii will download and test some of the latest SD images. Mean while, could some “advanced” user help me to confirm/identify the problem?

Thanks a lot!

I’ve been working from 2020-05-14-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.img

and that seems ok for me.

Please, could you test this image, or better, the last one from today. If you and somebody with a v3 zynthian could confirm it works OK, i could mark it as RC2 and avoid more headaches with recent SD images until i can do my own test …

Of course, the more testers, the better …

Let’s concentrate on yesterday’s image that seems to be good:

https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-22-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip

If this doesn’t work, we can try with 2020-05-14 or any other recent SD image that somebody had already tested.

Thanks a lot!

This is really a very useful idea, I’m switching to 2020-05-22.

And there we have a candidate! After an hour I give up. I can’t get it to run. 2020-05-14 was deleted?

Could you be more specific about the problems you found?

Ups! Regarding 2020-05-14, the auto-delete system probably get ride of it. It deletes SD-images older than a week if they are not marked as RC.

But if we don’t find another working SD image, @wyleu can upload his copy to the server :wink:

Regards,

of course I can be specific:

start with a new image: display error
Followed by about 5 minutes of black screen
Then very slowly fading in and out - zynthian - ERROR IP:
Zynthian directly connected to the router via LAN.
Display: ERROR IP: 169.254.100.40

Hi @spurkopf,

Please, could you send the webconf log?
Simply type:

journalctl -u zynthian-webconf -f 

And try to access from the browser. Then copy/paste the output from the console. With this i could figure where the problem is and try to solve it for the next SD image builds.

Thanks!

No sorry, 2020_05_22 is already deleted. I have a copy of the 2020_05_17 UI log - I’m uploading it. But why mess with it, wouldn’t it be easier if you could say - this image worked for me - please test it?
Zynthian_17052020Ui_log.txt (31.2 KB)

testing 2020_05_16:

  • o.k. this time webconf works out of the box
  • again displaying ERROR
  • but this time it detected a V3PRO
    while 2020_05_22 and 2020_05_17 detected Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3
  • changed to Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 and reboot, now ZynScreen ist working - but no encoders
  • changed to custom kit and Mcp23017 Encoders - now they are working too
  • switching of single mode, activating midi clock internal and setup wifi
    Now it should all working. :sweat:

3 posts were split to a new topic: Qmidinet feedback

Zynthian doesn’t detect hardware, apart from the RBPi. SD images are pre-configured for a given hardware combination, depending on the image date. The latest ones are pre-configured for “Kit V3 - Pro”. What is your kit version @spurkopf?

According to your bill, I have:

  • Aluminum Case Kit v2
  • 4 x Controller Module Kit v2
  • All-In-One Module Kit
  • Ribbon Bus cable v2
  • Wiring Kit v2
  • RaspBerry Pi 3 B+ (computer board)
  • HifiBerry DAC+ Kit (soundcard)
  • OzzMaker PiScreen 3.5’ (touchscreen)

Build from today(2020-05-23) is no candidate.

@jofemodo, webconf doesn’t start…mutagen

ah @jofemodo and I didn’t check…Pianoteq…there is a 6.7.1
Is the free trial updated already?

OK! I found the problem with mutagen and the SD build script:

# Install Mutagen (when available, use pip3 install)
$ZYNTHIAN_RECIPE_DIR/install_nutagen.sh

I just launched a new build for today (2020-05-24). It will finish in about 4 hours, about 21:00.

Regards,

@jofemodo Were you typing too fast when you wrote that?

Hi José,
https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-24-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip
is that the one we should test in priority ?

Nope, that’s from yesterday and still has the mutagen bug (tested this morning)

Ok, thank you.
So far, I think running

$ZYNTHIAN_RECIPE_DIR/install_mutagen.sh

should solve the problem.
So except that “mutagen” bug, this version should be like the next one.
