Hi, thank you for reporting this, we’ll look into it.

Btw, are you using some non-default locale or language on the system?

Hi Giedrius,

thank you for taking care of this issue.

No, I stuck to the defaults …

Greetings, cw

Hmm, it worked without any errors on our device. Could you please post the output of these commands here:

cd /usr/local/pisound
git status

Sure:

patch@Jakobus:/usr/local/pisound $ git status

Auf Branch patchbox

Ihr Branch ist auf demselben Stand wie ‘origin/patchbox’.

Hm. This is german with destroyed special character (a with : above)…

The user interface is in English.

Any idea how you got it to be in German? :slight_smile: I think if I change the system config in the same way, I’d be able to reproduce the issue in pisound-config.

My only guess is the activation of the xServer (I do access the system via Remote Desktop). I also installed jOrgan which uses german as default language, but this should noch change the system settings …

Should I try and change the language setting back to English by sudo raspi-config?
