Changing the clock to SYNC while having the CV sync out on the Beatstep going into the Liven . . . changes nothing. Nor does any other of the MIDI settings, as far as I can tell. Even setting the Liven to use internal sync results in silence once Play is pressed (unless it's held, and until rebooting the Liven).

Ohhhhh I was just skimming past the part with all the instructions for GUIs I wasn't using before and missed

amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -s Liven_8bit_Warps_v3.0.76_2023-09-15.syx -i 60just sits there, and the unit doesn't react at all. I tried both from booted normally, and booting while holding PTN to get to the menu that lists the firmware info.

Like https://gearspace.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1378662-sonicware-liven-xfm-sync-issues.html but I can add the following odd details:

Maybe configure with --no-ytk? Well that failed on missing gtkmm, lets install that via too then.

Trying to install the deps with:

Repairing has seemed to work since, though it didn't the first time I had tried it (there were also GadgetBridge updates though)

It's been fine since! I should probably update it again, but that's another task's task.

I was about to be like "well this has been working fine for ages now, time to close this task!" and then I noticed my comment above and yeah, /etc/cron.hourly/kludge is still marked executable. So uhh lets disable that and see if things remain stable before I hang up the Mission Accomplished banner...

I should work https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/03/02/the-curl-nuget-story/ in here

Sounds like it has been solid ever since, so that must have been it? Or perhaps something else coincidentally changed, I suppose. But for now this awaits a newer firmware version to try and see if it resolves or resurrects the problem.
