Zynthian Faster

I’m getting whinges from even further down the food chain after an update . . .

Anyone got a quick way of reporting repo hashes when one doesn’t have the webconf . . .:slight_smile:

I don’t have an exact build date, but I think it’s safe to say that I have been updating pretty regularly.

Not that it matters now. I deleted that script and rebooted, and, at long last, got to see my error splash screen on my Zynthian. :confounded:

Where can I find error logs for when the error screen pops up?

I am using 2020-02-11 as base system and updated right now: loading my snapshots is working.

@jofemodo BUT: I think there is a problem with the volume setup. I have several snapshots where the initial volume is turned down (especially when YKChorus is in the FX-chain). The visual representation in the window is telling the right value but the sound is definitely too loud (=digital distortion). Turning the encoder just one step and the right value (+/- 1) is set (and distortion disapears).

This update is incredible @jofemodo!!! My Disco-Zynthian is used for our band since the RPI4 upgrade and I must say that it is so much fun to have such a great synth on stage! Thanks a lot!!! :1st_place_medal:

@jofemodo,

I can confirm this.
During update it shows:

Executing /zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes.update.buster/00_install_packages.sh …
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘lilv’

@jofemodo,

when I call find /usr/local/lib -type d -iname python3*

it says
find: paths must precede expression: python3.7' find: possible unquoted pattern after predicate -iname’?

find /usr/local/lib -type d -iname python3

works

this fixes it

/zynthian/zynthian-sys/scripts/recipes# ./install_lv2_lilv.sh

And the build is ???
Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
Build Date: ???

OK! I will try to fix the update code.

Anyway, we have a new green build (buster):

https://os.zynthian.org/2020-02-28-zynthianos-buster-lite-1.0.0.zip

I’ve not tested yet, but it should include all the new changes :wink:

Excellent. Ithe os pageis a little confusing as to precisely what is andisnt a clean build. We’ll it is to me anyway

OK, here’s what I’ve done.

I flashed a Zynthian image backup from 19 January 2020 to my SD card. I powered on my Zynthian and connected to the WiFi. I selected Update Software in the Zynthian UI. After the obligatory scrolling text, the screen turned all white. The Zynthian UI was gone.

I rebooted the Zynthian over SSH, but the screen was still white. I tried running update_zynthian.sh, and I got the error everybody’s been talking about:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./zynthian_lv2.py", line 28, in <module>
    import lilv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lilv'

(At this point, the screen was still white.)

Then I ran the script that @mheidt mentioned…

…and ran update_zynthian.sh again. This time, the screen showed the Zynthian UI, but I still got the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./zynthian_lv2.py", line 28, in <module>
    import lilv
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'lilv'

Hope this helps. I’ll look into it more tomorrow.

That’s weird. My build from Januar-15 worked. Only an early build had issues.
But let the install_lv2_lilv be the last action.
The update seems to delete it again.

You might like this one a little better which shows how far back you are from the latest.

Hello,

I just updated. Problem while trying to add an affect layer:

I can select any LV2 plugin then I see the usual logo animation but the screen to select a channel or a preset never appear. I can just push “back” button to return to main menu.

The effect layer doesn’t seem to be created (audio can’t be routed to it).

Any clue ?

Is the webconf running? If not, read the solution in this thread. It might be related

Yes webconf is running. And I updated from webconf. I saved the logs if it can be usefull later…

I also tryed

Not fixed yet.

And I am downloading latest build (5 hours left with my poor connection to internet)
But I will try it only if other solutions don’t work.

Hi @zynthianers!

Those having problems with the last update … could you try updating again?

Thanks!

For me it didnt solve the problem. But I also did some other things which might have broken it again. For example I switched from master to faster repository for some time and than switched back. I also did an sudo apt update. Now I am flashing the old original rc3 image again.
