Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Picoreplayer can't see my usb stick

2022-10-12 Thread Greg Erskine


Hi kowloonside,

I can't really offer a solution but when I was having a look at your
issue, I stumbled across a different version of fdisk. I guess one of
the "additional" extensions to handle USB disks loads another version of
fdisk.

To force fdisk to use the busybox version, type:


Code:

$ busybox fdisk -l



Hopefully this message has made things clearer, not more confusing...

regards
Greg

Apologies, I am pretty new to this. Took your suggestion and tried some
new searches. Figured out how to ssh into the pCP from command line but
as soon as I tried to use fdisk, I ran into an error:


Code:

tc@Magna-Mano:~$ fdisk -l
  fdisk: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.8: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory



Maybe that was not even the correct first step? Definitely appreciate
your assistance!

I was recommending ext4 formatted directly using pCP.  That would at

fdisk and mkfs.ext4 are the only commands you need.  Should be easy to

Good thought, but it still didn't make a difference in this case (was
MBR the first time, tried GUID after your suggestion).

If it is just the case that "sometimes USB disks just don't mount if
they aren't using a native Linux filesystem and there's nothing to be
done", I'll just have to accept it. But given all the additional
filesystem extensions and the fact that I don't see a lot of claims
online about how finicky usb disks can be...it feels like there must be
a solution that is just out of reach somehow. Argh.

Here is a sugestion; 
when you formatted the stick on a Mac, which partition table did you
choose, MBR or GUID ?

Try a reformat using the one you did not choose, add just a couple of
albums to the disk and try again on pCP

Thanks for the suggestion. For now, I only have MacOS machines available
to me and my understanding is there isn't really a way to format the
disk to EXT4 (and still have read/write access to update the files I
store on it).

Understanding that ExFAT isn't native to Linux, but that the userspace
drivers installed via the file system extensions in PCP (per my
understanding) are designed to allow them to be used, are you saying
that this is not always a solution that can be relied on?

Exfat is not a native linux partition, it works through userspace
driver.   EXT4 is the most reliable for a linux system.

Take a look at the disk using command line utilities.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer + Topping D10s

2022-10-12 Thread paul-


So its not a sound problem, its purely the bluetooth audio.   One thing
to remember the Bluetooth and LMS cannot use the sound device at the
same time.  Make sure you power off the player from within the LMS
window, before trying to connect bluetooth.

I originally added bluetooth for speakers only.   There are a ton of
things that can go wrong when trying to play from a phone or PC via
bluetooth, and without every brand of device to test, it is very
difficult.

Could you share where you found the USB wait time setting? I am having
the same issue where the 256GB USB disk simply does not appear at all
under 'Pick the following detected USB disks to mount'.

I have tried reformatting it between FAT32 & exFAT and tried adding (and
removing and readding) all of the file system extensions (+
util_linux.tcz). I would try EXT4 or NTFS but I do not have a Windows
machine.

I even see in the dmesg.log that it appears to be identifying my USB
disk (Product:  SanDisk 3.2Gen1)...and yet it never shows as 'detected'
and thus available to mount. Really frustrating!

USB audio is all kernel based drivers.  USB subsystems change alot, and
it's normally up to the hardware manufacturers to resolve issues in the
mainline kernel.

I think the same. I can only wait to see if they fix it because I have a

I had the same issue when using a USB DAC with PCP 8.2 (mine was a
HiFimeDIY USB DAC)  ie no sound when using my phone as a player.

Reverted back to PCP 8.1 and sound returned and all worked as expected.

I have two other PCP 8.2 setups but these use HAT DACS connected to the
GPIO connector these both worked fine with PCP 8.2

I wondered if some change between PCP 8.1 and PCP 8.2 that only affects
USB DACs is happening?

I have used the same password on other installations successfully. I'm
concerned I may have made an entry error when doing the initial setup on
this one. It appears the samba password is encrypted and can't be viewed
in. 

Perhaps one of the piCore team can jump in. Can I reset the password by
removing Samba on the LMS Setup page in piCorePlayer and then
reinstalling it with a new password?

I just enter a password for user "tc" (not the same password as the
