Hey guys! Patchbox OS has been updated to be based on the Bullseye Debian release! It should work just fine with pretty much all the currently released Raspberry Pi’s out there. Also, most of the software that comes installed by default has been updated to latest versions available.
for those of us who are rusty at this sort of thing, is there a reasonable way to upgrade in place, or is it better to just back up everything and start with a clean image?
It’s a little buggy
CPU holds at 100% when using the button - which then fails.
Loading pedalboards is very slow when available
The web gui crashes when connecting with pisound app
I would generally recommend to start from a clean slate and back up all your custom additions. Not sure it’s strictly necessary, but since it’s based on a completely new debian release version there might be a lot of issues involved.
I’m pretty happy with it so far, but I’m only using it to run my supercollider patches, seems more stable with the xruns, maybe I can even squeeze the latency a bit with the realtime kernel…
It’s better to backup, flash the new build, and move over your stuff to the new build, that’s the recommended way for Raspberry Pi OS too.
In theory, it’s possible to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list.d/... to point to bullseye and do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but that also misses any changes that were done between the OS image releases outside of the deb packages, so in the end, you’d still end up with something different than the newly released image, it’s very complicated to debug and get everything right, as well as it’s not that well tested on Raspberry Pi OS and OSes derived from it, so this should only be attempted by Linux experts that can find their own way through it.
Please provides any steps to reproduce the issue. You can investigate the output of top to see which processes use the most resources.
MODEP didn’t change at all in this release. It used to do this before as well, when I looked into it, it seems the MOD UI isn’t able to handle changes that happen externally well, so you have to simply refresh the page after switching the pedalboard using external mechanisms.
I am having issues installing updates and MODEP. I get the following errors:
1: update errors
E: Repsitory 'http://apt.blokas.io rpi InRelease' changed its 'Origin' value from 'main rpi' to '. rpi'
E: Repsitory 'http://apt.blokas.io rpi InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'main rpi' to '. rpi'
N: This must be accepted explicitly before updates for this repository can be applied. See apt-secure(8) manpage for details
Installing MODEP
Apologies, but I have to transcribe this text manually due to my setup. I won’t do the full stack trace unless it’s really really necessary… but I will try my best
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/patchbox/module.py", line 621, in _install_module
raise ModuleError(
patchbox.module.ModuleError: Failed to install modep.module via /usr/local/patchbox-modules/modep/install.sh script
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
File "/usr/bin/patchbox", line 33 in <module>
sys.exit(load_entry_point('patchbox-cli==1.0', 'console_scripts', 'patchbox')())
(etc)
Does this help debug?
Update: I was able to get past part 1 with sudo apt update which this time asked if I would accept the suggested changes. After that the MODEP module seemed to work.
I’m not convinced that it’s fixed. I’ve tried 6 times from a fresh 2022-05-17 image (even a 2020-11-23) with or without an update first (tried --allow-releaseinfo-change and --fix-missing). modep module activation (via patchbox ui or commandline) always results in this error:

Happens to me as well when I try to install modep. I tried sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change, no luck unfortunately. Is the apt mirror out of sync?
I’m on a fresh install of the Beta 2022-05-17.
Tried now to install the orac module. Worked without any issues.
Seems like it’s really a mirror node which is out of sync.
@Giedrius, I saw that it’s possible to install modules from a file. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any information about how to build modep myself and install from a file. Do you know if there is some documentation about it?
Although all seems good with the newest Patchbox, it appears that the modep module is not backward compatible with the previous 2020-11-23 version of Patchbox. Maybe that’s expected?
