Hihi! So I keep having this issue where no matter what I do, MODEP won’t seem to boot. I’ve tried doing fresh installs, and it always works on the first boot, then doesn’t on any subsequent ones. I’ve tried restarting all the services and checking the error messages, MODEP-MOD-UI is working fine but MODEP-MOD-HOST says its disabled and JACK isn’t making the right ports or something. Whenever I set it to another module and then back to MODEP, MODEP works fine for that session, but the same issue happens whenever I reboot. When I go into the JACK error logs, it keeps saying that it failed to create a secure directory in /nonexistent/.config/pulse because no such file or directory exists. After that it keeps creating and deleting ports. When I look at the MODEP-MOD-UI error logs, it says it can’t connect to the server socket, that there is no such file or directory, and that the JACK server is not running or can’t be started. I don’t really know how to interpret this or what next steps to take troubleshooting, does anyone have any input?
@Volpeta first of all, welcome to the Blokas community!
Now on to the issue and hopeful quick resolution. Can you provide a little more detail about your setup? For example:
- What model of Raspberry Pi are you running MODEP on?
- Are you using PiSound as your sound card or an external sound card?
- What is the output of the following commands:
sudo systemctl status jack
sudo systemctl status modep-mod-host
sudo systemctl status modep-mod-ui
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 4B, I’m using the PiSound as the soundcard, and all of those commands are reading green except for the MODEP-MOD-HOST which says it is disabled
Well that is odd that mod-host is disabled. And you have MODEP configured to use the PiSound, correct?
Yup, I’ve redone the configuration from the patchbox tool, done a fresh install of patchbox, and it still gives me this error saying MODEP-MOD-HOST is disabled, even if I have it running at the time
@Volpeta when you downloaded the image did you download from here:
If so, there is a new version of PatchboxOS available in the first post on this thread:
If you downloaded from the first link that is a release from 2022 whereas the second link is from April of this year.
I downloaded the most recent one from April from the link you posted
So can you access the MODEP interface when you first boot up the Pi?
Also, any other devices attached besides the pi and PiSound?
I wasn’t able to before, but it started booting when I reset the boot module even tho it still says its disabled
And no, I just have the audio going in and out
There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with either Jack or MOD HOST - it does not matter if it says it’s disabled, as long as it says active (running) - it’s running. 
I see the modep-mod-ui.service is running as well.
Are you sure you are using the correct IP address to access it? Use this command to list out the IP addresses:
hostname -I
