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

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
webconf does not work over zynthian.local or over IP
continue via console:

no further connection via browser - continue via console

update_zynthian.sh

display console: Update complete -

in console: reboot

on startup: flashing display - error: IP 192.168.178.24

ssh-keygen -R zynthian.local -f /home/“user”/.ssh/known_hosts

webconf now possible in firefox
once angain Software Update - now with firefox

reboot -
on startup: again: flashing display - error: IP 192.168.178.24

->given up

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)
[In reply to “https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-24-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip

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.

I will post a download link when a “good” candidate is ready. It should be in the next hours … :wink:

If of interest, I tried to install https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-22-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip on official Kit V2. Initial boot showed error screen with IP adress. Webconf not working, but could ssh into zynthian. Then did update_zynthian.sh. webconf now working, zynthian boots regularly.
Then I tried to activate pianoteq stage, uploaded the pianoteq 7z binary. In the webconf screen, I tried to enter my license key, but got the error message (in webconf browser output): Pianoteq Action Failed: Command ‘/zynthian/zynthian-sw/pianoteq6/pianoteq --activate MY-LICENSE’ returned non-zero exit status 2. (I replaced actual license key for reporting). So I remembered the old way of activating: start pianoteq layer with a running ssh -X connection to zynthian. Then a window of pianoteq gui appears on the computer where activation info can be entered. So far, everything works fine.
But have mixer settings / audio been changed? Whenever I play some key, there is an accompanying noise that then fades out. Seems like the audio channel is opened (noisy) when active and then muted again. Tried to record the effect with zynthians audio recorder, and the effect is there when played back on the zynthian. But too low volume when played back on the computer so I cannot really demonstrate it. But it’s not the auto mute feature (which is turned off). It’s different. noise is of constant level, and it affects any engine.
I have hifiberry dac+adc.

–> edit: regarding the noise, I’ll try to investigate this: A weird noise is driving me mad [SOLVED]
My hardware hasn’t changed and the noise wasn’t there with previous official 2019-09-24-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0-RC1.zip

ok, I’ve tested https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-25-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip

  1. black screen on first boot. webconf was stuck
  2. through ssh, run
    $ZYNTHIAN_RECIPE_DIR/install_mutagen.sh
    => webconf start
  3. through webconf, configure my hardware:
  • kit: custom
  • audio: behringer umc404hd (I’ve got the 204HD, but I know it’s okay)
  • display: waveshare 5inch hdmi + GPIO
  • wiring: dummies
  1. reboot => ui start, but no touch (maybe there’s something broken on my display, I’ve got to test it tomorrow with a clean raspbian distro), ads7846 module is loaded btw
  2. plug an usb mouse, create a ZY layer on channel 1 and plug an hardware midi step-seq, then create a simple pattern => through webconf UI, I see midi notes coming in but there is no sound output from the usb interface :thinking:
  3. check alsamixer settings: ok (100%)!
  4. check the usb audio interface on my pc => ok (hopefully !!!)

Note also that I wasn’t able, using the mouse to get out from the ZY instrument screen

  1. Ok, reboot, and let’s try with an other instrument (fluidsynth/TimGM6mb/piano 1) => yes :smiley:
  2. add a new layer (amsynth) on channel 2 => yes :smiley: yes :smiley:
  3. try step seq: ok but I didn’t find the way to adjust note length and note level with the mouse

Conclusion:

  • still that problem with mutagen
  • strange bug with ZynAddSubFx
  • got to test more instruments
  • got to test mod-ui, touchosc, qmidinet
  • got to check the touch function on my display
  • but tomorrow, cause now I got to go to bed :sleeping:

This is the image we have to test:

https://os.zynthian.org/2020-05-25-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip

I’ve fixed 2 errors in the setup script and it should work … i hope!
I will test it tomorrow, but if some of you want to try now, please, do it :wink:

Regards,

Curious … i fixed the error and it should be working …
At what time did you download the SD image from the server?

Regards
