Boot error, from fresh install

jyoung4242 · June 26, 2022, 12:46am

So i have a fresh install of sonic PI, and i’ve tried installing more than once, and doing multiple reboots.

Is there something I’m doing wrong? or some configuration that needs modified?

I also got this error. At a new computer and at my old one too.

I can use this on my Raspberry Pi, but not on my Win10

jyoung4242 · June 26, 2022, 2:56pm

why would it be trying to get to a J:\ drive directory?
i don’t have a J drive

nlb · June 26, 2022, 6:41pm

Hi

Check the rate of input and output of your audio card : they should be the same.
No Bluetooth, try wired devices

Hope it helps

jyoung4242 · June 27, 2022, 3:39pm

no dice on this…

i’ve been using my PI, but would be nice to have it working on laptop too

samaaron · June 27, 2022, 7:10pm

Hi @jyoung4242,

Sonic Pi asks the host where the “home directory” of the current user is to figure out where to store logs, configs, and the code in the buffers. For the majority of users, this just seems to work - however for a handful of Windows users - it seems to point to an obscure/unused drive letter such as J:\ in your case.

We honestly don’t know what causes this - it could potentially be a variety of different things - perhaps specific configs or ENV vars on your system interfering in a strange and unexpected way.

However, there is a simple solution and that is to create a new environment variable called SONIC_PI_HOME and set it to a folder you have write access to that you’d like Sonic Pi to store all its stuff. Once that is set, you should be able to start Sonic Pi just fine

jyoung4242 · June 27, 2022, 9:25pm

I will try it, and let you all know…
thanks for getting back to me

jyoung4242 · June 27, 2022, 10:20pm

works like a champ, thank you very much

samaaron · June 28, 2022, 6:47am

That’s fab news! So glad you’re up and running

Miniontoby · June 28, 2022, 7:49am

I still have problems, my error has nothing to do with the J drive

samaaron · June 28, 2022, 8:02am

Hi @Miniontoby - unfortunately we can’t help you fix your issue without access to your log files. The best thing to do is to create a GitHub issue and we can help over there: Issues · sonic-pi-net/sonic-pi · GitHub

Miniontoby · June 28, 2022, 8:14am

I havent gotten any time to upload it yet… i will try to get it today
