Switching from oram to vangelis is getting slowish on old hardware

jawn · October 8, 2025, 12:44pm

Hi,

Not an issue but an inconvenience:

Taking a fresh https://os.zynthian.org/zynthianos-last-stable.img.xz and using webconf to switch to vangelis + update downloads approximately 570 MB from various packages, plus of course takes quite to build on older hardware (in this case, a plain RP 3B but I also use RP 4B).

As I like to periodically scratch my image due to experiments beyond the standard functionality, it would be useful to have a fresher image (could be a snapshot of vangelis or a more recent oram).

A new image is on the way. It’s a question of days

Please, everyone who can, test Oram staging or Vangelis (which are currently the same) to help us be more confident that it is ready for release.

# Describe the issue While testing the latest Vangelis (the release candidate) t…he USB pendrive is no longer functional. The drive works fine with Oram stable, but with Vangelis the content of directories is no longer shown. # To Reproduce ## Steps to reproduce the behavior: ## Context In `/zynthian/config/zynthian-envars.sh` I replaced: `#export ZYNTHIAN_MY_DATA_DIR="$ZYNTHIAN_DIR/zynthian-my-data"` by: `export ZYNTHIAN_MY_DATA_DIR="/media/root/ZYNTHIAN/my"` This is the USB drive. 1. Add Instrument chain, select `Sfizz` 2. After selecting channel the soundfont list is shown 3. Select directory below `USB` 4. No subdirectories are shown ## Expected behaviour I expect to a list of soundfonts ## Actual behaviour I don't see a list of soundfonts Also in webconf no subdirectories are shown. # Screenshots https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a40adade-7f9a-4698-b9cc-3af161456ebb [ui_sesion-20251010100039.log](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/22843974/ui_sesion-20251010100039.log) # Additional context To minimize I/O on the SD card, I moved all of the /zynthian/my-zynthian data to the pen drive. This also makes it easier to back up. The pen drive I'm using is a very small Samsung FIT-plus device, which can be left in permanently. It's very fast and works well under Oram Stable. I formatted it with NTFS, but when I used VFAT, more serious problems arose (but I forget which ones). <img width="88" height="87" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ad2ea6a4-f54e-423b-b853-f83c9a7b7c71" /> # Configuration ## Hardware ``` Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.1 Audio: V5 ADAC Display: MIPI DSI 800x480 (inverted) Wiring: V5 I2C: MCP23017@0x20, MCP23017@0x21 Profile: v5 ``` ## System ``` Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Build Date: 2025-04-10 Memory: 8% (690M/8063M) Internal Storage: 55% (16G/29G ext4) Temperature: 21.9ºC Overclock: None USB/Zynthian: 96% (1.9G/2.0G fuseblk) ``` ## MIDI & UI ``` Tuning: 440 Hz Master Channel: Off Preload Presets: On ZS3 (SubSnapShots): Off Power Save: 10 minutes Audio Levels on Snapshots: On ``` ## Software ``` zyncoder: vangelis (a03a079) zynthian-ui: vangelis (2b31c52) zynthian-sys: vangelis (97d6c01) zynthian-data: vangelis (1fffd91) zynthian-webconf: vangelis (f02c235) ```
