OTA updated Pi5 and PC to 4.067. No issues to report.

Moved @codevoid 's posts re. soundcard to the X86 Hardware help thread as it appears not V4 related.

ota update to 4.067 successful.
raspberry pi5 with 128gb MNVe memory
audiophonics evo sabre separate dac.

plugin: audiophonics evo saber
peppymeter basic
remote pi
touch display.
everything works perfectly
Volume bootloader rotation works great
DSD files work perfectly, only after disabling peppymeter.
with the same remote control of the dac that controls all the functions, I can also control the streamer with the raspberry pi5 for the most important functions such as play, pause, forward and back.
I haven’t noticed any anomalies so far.

Dear developers,

Ive updated the rpi of my father to 4.067, it works really nice. my father use winscp voor transfer files to hardisks that are connected. it works fine till the last two versions. during the transfer of albums from the one to the other harddisks he got a error that calls permission denied. error code 3. Before it works very great. It is only the case at one big hardisk. the other smaller harddisks had no problems. the are both feeded by a powered usbhub. and the big HDD had also his own powersuply. Playing music worked fine. He uses a Rpi 4 2gb ram, Can you help him? Enclosed the log

http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/gUnV46S.html

Hey @Dick_van_der_Wal,

I analyzed the log and found the problem - hard disks have filesystem corruption warnings that are blocking write operations.

From the log:

FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.
exFAT-fs (sda2): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck.

When filesystems are not properly unmounted, Linux sets a “dirty” flag and may restrict write operations to prevent further corruption. This is why WinSCP can browse files but cannot transfer - the filesystem is protecting itself from writes.

Fix Steps:

  1. Disconnect both hard disks from the Raspberry Pi
  2. Connect them to your Windows PC
  3. Windows will detect the filesystem issues and offer to fix them - accept the repair
  4. After repair completes, use “Safely Remove Hardware” to properly eject
  5. Reconnect to Raspberry Pi
  6. Test WinSCP file transfer

Going Forward:

  • Always use “Safely Remove Hardware” in Windows before disconnect
  • Always unmount drives in Volumio UI before physically disconnecting
  • Never power-cycle the system while file transfers are active

Once the storage blocking problem is resolved, we can check this further if the WinSCP issue persists.

Kind Regards,

Hi dear thanks for your fast reply. the case is, that both harddisks are always connected to the rpi. All writings and changings between the pc and harddisks connentected to the pi. became by ssh. it workes mostly fine. But now, one of the hdds can be remotely edited by ssh, but the other gives error code 3

Happy to report my customized Pi4 for dual HDMI out has survived OTA update to 4.067

@nerd
The problem with Tidal also occurs in version 4.067 - 3.832 too.
Raspberry PI 5 - Raspberry Pi 3A+.

More and more reports of the problem.
Do you know why this is so - the cause of the problems?

RPi4 with official 7" screen and a USB DAC

Just updated to 4.067, don’t have time right now to properly test everything.

In the previous update something went wrong, as the screen had the image ok, but the touch was mirrored, and the connection from wi-fi and wired was not possible.

I’ve managed to click on the right spots on the screen (mirrored and upsidedown) to manualy start this update, and then it was possible to connect, reverse the screen in the Touch Display plugin, and all seems fine.

Sorry, did not get a log when the problem was present, and I believe that now it’s not relevant, but if needed I can do it.

Hey @nerd

After latest update OTA 4.066 to 4.067 my rPi4 (wired) have a very long startup time. Sometimes up to 10 min. rPi Touch Display(1) turns on with blank screen and then Volumio UI loads very slowly.
Only touch display plugin 3.5.9 ebabled.

log:
rPi 4 Sstart up time
Best Regards / C

[please ignore]

No issue with 4.067 (ota from 4.66)
Spotify more stable ( 2 night sessions without stuttering or else. Same use of network as before)
Log http://logs.volumio.org/volumio/FxkhBGP.html

will there be an upgrade path from V3 to V4 or will it be a fresh install?
txs

Fresh install.
Boot partitions have changed to be ready for the future.

I think 4.067 has issues. The UI works, I can change between Radio Paradise, web radio, and spotify, but no music. The green led is on on my hi-fi berry dac is lit. So don’t know what happened. Seemed the issues started whrn I upgraded to Radio Paradiss beta v2.0.16. I’ll try going back

No luck. i removed the plugin and still no music but the ui is working fine. I guess i will need to start from scratch

You can solve that enabling “ignore permissions errors” on your SSH software.

I use WinSCP:

Hey @jocoman,

There is a reason why we are asking for specific details in the opening posts.

Kind Regards,

thank you very much!
