Euphony OS w/Stylus player setup and issues thread

[adamthebrave]

Hi, I'm brand new Euphony user and I'm pleased with the Sq.

 

I haver issues... I tried to update HQPe from 4.24 tó 4.31 but it fails and after te OS can't boot...

 

Don you haver anya idea? Thanks ín advance.

I opened a ticket and I have some answers. The first thing is I can't make any updates if I run the OS from an USB stick, I need to install on an SSD.

 

Here's a quote frpm the manual:

"4.3.4 Install Install option is not available for unregistered installations. Install option is not available on systems made by this function or on pre-installed SSD drives. Install will perform Euphony installation/repair on another disk (not on your current running Euphony instance). If your first Euphony installation came to you as a USB image and you have a dedicated machine for use as Euphony system then you will probably want to have it on your machine’s hard disk. (You may also want to show Euphony to a friend and put it on his usb). You can perform such an installation here. (Note that installation from Euphony Web Application is faster and simpler than writing original Euphony image file to target disk). Install section will not be shown if there are no possible target devices attached (You cannot install it on disk from which you booted the system up.) If you go to the Settings screen and attach a device after that, refresh the page so the app can pick up changes)."

 

I have an average knwoledge about computers I installed several OS's through the years but this I can't understand.

 

Can anybody help me how can I this install section make it visible? I registred my OS but I'm in the trial period, is this a problem?

 

What this means: (Note that installation from Euphony Web Application is faster and simpler than writing original Euphony image file to target disk)

Hi,

 

thanks for the link. Yes, a red everything I could.

The Stylus own E-PCM upsampler engine is clipping for me. It has a quiet strong distortion regardless which option I use. If I switch to Mozzaik or HPQe the problem is gone.

 

Have anyone else experienced similiar issues?

[adamthebrave]

I opened tickets by Euphony, and the first sentence of the reply was: "please notice you are running TRIAL version of software so we are giving you support on voluntary basis."

 

This is a strange answer becouse I'm trying it right now I can't decide without the trial period. I can this answer understand after the 30 days if trial...

Hi @adamthebrave,

The install option that I have circled to the right; is that what you are talking about? If so that is not what is used to install Euphony to your hard drive.

That is for post installation troubleshooting or installing to a different hard drive other than your main OS Drive. When you booted from your USB Drive you should have been asked at some point which hard disk you want to install Euphony on. I don’t recall the exact point but I think it is post registration. 

As far as your HQPe issue, double check in settings which Kernel you are running. Update it to 4.18…. That might fix the HQPe issue. You might also consider asking Jussi as well.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thanks for your detailed answer!

 

Yes, this install menu is missing. Here was e little chaos in my head, becouse there are two types of regitration and it was not clear for me.

 

After booting from USB Drive I had to give my email address and name and I got a 30 days of full function trial period. But it seems it is not fully functional: I can't install on SSD and so I can't make any updates, not so user friendly...

 

I have to buy one month and after can I decide it is my OS or it isn't...

[adamthebrave]

You're right, the money not an issue (a "small" addition +27% VAT here in Hungary), it wasn't clear for me that the 30 days trial has not all the features.
