Hi there, Patchbox doesn’t seem to work for me. I used to have MODEP on Raspbian (I think) and want to get that back - is that still possible? Thanks ---

Set up our APT server: [https://apt.blokas.io/](https://apt.blokas.io/) Run `sudo apt install modep` What is the issue you’re seeing with Patchbox? ---

Thanks, By set up our APT server, you mean: _curl [https://blokas.io/apt-setup.sh](https://blokas.io/apt-setup.sh) | sh_ and then I run _sudo apt install modep_ Via Patchbox I had sound quality issues and CPU at 100% quite a bit. Just seemed glitchy. Tried to reinstall Patchbox and no luck. I’m sure I could find a way to make it work if I read all the info in this forum, but don’t have the time. I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3B. Since it used to work, I figured I’d rather just install it on Raspbian or similar. ---

Yes, run those commands. You could just create topics for particular issues you’re facing and get suggestions how to get to the bottom of them and sort them out. Just saying CPU is at 100% is not very actionable, you could run `top` command to see which processes consume the most CPU and then you could move on to troubleshooting them and finally resolving the issue.

Thanks Giedrius, So all it takes it time… I did it again, and… I guess with a little more care. So now patchbox works and MODEP works fine as well on my pisound. Phew. Q: I’ve now lost all my Plugins, I used to have a whole bunch and now there’s only 75 or so, and access to Patchstorage. I’m looking for a Shimmer reverb (I think Shiroverb is one) and I can’t find info on how to find/install Any tips? ---

Until Patchstorage gets populated with more plugins, you can use this as a workaround to get the old plugins, from our APT server: ```bash sudo apt install -y modep-lv2-* cp -r /usr/modep/lv2/* /var/modep/lv2/ sudo chown -R modep:modep /var/modep/lv2 sudo chmod -R 775 /var/modep/lv2 # Restart MODEP so LV2 changes take effect. sudo systemctl stop modep-mod-host modep-mod-ui sudo systemctl start modep-mod-host modep-mod-ui ``` ---

Just use your original image of the SD card that you have backed up. ---

I would like to know how to install modep without patchbox os as well. Don’t get me wrong, patchbox is amazing but I cannot install it on orange pi. So I would like to know how to install modep on a different board. Do you know how to proceed. Thanks in advance ---

If the OS on Orange Pi is Debian based (`apt-get` is available), it may be enough to simply do the stuff mentioned in above reply: [Can I install MODEP without Patchbox? - #2 by Giedrius](https://community.blokas.io/t/can-i-install-modep-without-patchbox/4041/2) ---

That’s awesome that it can be installed on a debian based. How to setup the apt address for apt get? ---

Hi, I Install Modep and all plugins . Now want to create pedalboards from web ui. How can I open it in browser? What is the web address ? and also, modep-mod-ui not opening when I go for [http://172.24.1.1/](http://172.24.1.1/) from patchbox. When try to open ui in browser, it said Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 172.24.1.1 The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web. ---

Welcome to the Blokas community! I would suggest to first try and connect to [http://patchbox.local](http://patchbox.local) If that doesn’t work then you might need to get the ip address of your device and try connecting with that. For example [http://192.268.1.1](http://192.268.1.1). (your ip address will be different). Of course assuming that you’ve connected your pi to your wireless network. If that doesn’t work post back here again and we’ll try to help further. ---

So we have a starting point, are you using a RPi? You mentioned running MODEP on something other than patchbox os. Are you using patchbox os or some other distribution? As far as MODEP, are you sure that mod-host or mod-ui is running? You can check that with the systemctl command. Not in front of a Linux box so I can’t provide an example at the moment. If MODEP is running and you want to use an spi connected display, can you browse to [http://localhost](http://localhost)? ---

Yes, I’m using a RPI 3A+ . Yeah I used patchbox. But It crashed on a certain point . So, I decided to use modep only on raspbian 32 bit os . I did not check [http://localhost](http://localhost) on spi drived display . Today I will check it and will inform . Yeah, mod-host or mod-ui is running after installing Modep . I checked it properly . No Sir, sorry, I used sudo systemctl restart jack modep-mod-ui modep-mod-host . But no luck. Sound card works fine . [http://localhost](http://localhost) doesn’t work. Thanks again sir for your support . ---
