Snakeoil 1.4.0 (High End)

[aabman]

@hkphantomgtr using USB C, not GPIO.  And the change was set_max_current_enable=1 in config.txt so that it would boot with 3A power supply.

May look at getting official power supply.

Technically this will just disable some of the software checks on the Pi and allow operations to continue. There are pros and cons of doing so I guess, if you try to run more things and the PSU cannot supply enough current then things will not work (would components be damaged? Possibly but unlikely).

Also although the official power supply will work - however bear in mind under load it can emit a high pitch noise that is super irritating. I think I have lost my ability to hear these noises from my listening position so that's not going to be a problem for me, but if you are still sensitive bear this in mind . Transformer hum is no way as bad as these high pitch squeaks.

Thanks for your kind reply. Yes, I did run what you said before : sudo chmod -R 777 \media\music\sda3.  "ls" command shown the device permission was stricted to read only.

Hmm. I may have to look into the permissions thing. If you can still scan for the music then it's not something you need to bother for now.

BTW, could I directly log in as root, instead log in user account then elevate to root via sudo su command?  Thanks again.

Best practice is not do do this actually. Good practice is to  prefix everything with sudo if you want..

But technically you can modify the SSH daemon to do whatever you want (including directly logging in as root). Look up the Internet on instructions on how to do so. Snakeoil OS is unlike other OS because you have FULL control, and this includes logging into the root account directly. I do not recommend it personally, but not going to stop people from doing what they like. Our motto is - designed by us, defined by you, i.e. you have complete freedom.

Hi AK, thanks for your reply and kind advice.

First of all, the music title of unreachable \dev\sda3 was not scanned by LMS if \dev\sda3 mounted, so the music of \dev\sda3 couldn't play anymore. The interest thing I would let you know is that, when I unmount \dev\sda3, LMS's music folder can display the folder "sda3" with the same permission as other demountable disks but empty in content. That's very strange.

Just let you know the case and not sure if this might be solved in the coming version. Moreover, when using OS 1.4 with Ubuntu 22.XX, all songs can sing properly. Thanks for your patient and kindness.

P.S.  I thought it didn't caused by the music player but the system itself. When I use WinSCP to countercheck the property/permission of the partitions, WinSCP shown the same result. Thanks again!

The folder will still exist when the share is umounted, but will take on to whatever setting you setup your share so that is normal. Can you try and add this entry "rw" to the mount options, and try to remount it and see if it works now?

What file system are you using again? Avoid NTFS and use something like ext4 (or xfs) if you can.

You‘re definitely right and helpful, thanks again. The said partition was formated as NTFS. It appeared that was the cause of the issue. I will try to format to ext4 and report the founding.
