Hi,
I am getting the message "error [object Object]" after changing a parameter on CumulusMX v 3050. I am using a raspberry pi3. If I manually edit the ini file and save it appears to accept the changes but nothing changes when MX is rebooted and if I go back to the ini file the change did not actually change.
has anybody come across this before?

Sounds like you're manually editing the ini while Cumulus is still running.

Re: error [object Object]
Thanks for the suggestions, I have tried both using the MX dashboard way and closing MX down and editing the ini file that way, neither seem to work but I will try again tomorrow and also post the mxdiag file. I can see nothing obvious in the file but may have missed something.
thanks both
Pete

Re: error [object Object]
Sorry, I was unclear with my earlier reply. I was referring to the fact that your manually edited changes to the ini disappearing is a symptom that Cumulus was still running when you edited it. Cumulus writes all its current settings to the ini file when you shut down the application.
I didn't mean to suggest that the error object message was a symptom of the above para.
Apologies for any confusion.

Re: error [object Object]
Ok an update
I had setup the pi to start Cumulus automatically but even if I remove the start file completely Cumulus starts up anyway. When I edit the file with sudo ctontab and completely remove that script it still boots to MX. Could there be two copies and the wrong one is being edited. I am a a loss now so I think as I have a brand new sd card I will start up from scratch with a complete new install.
Will update when I have done the new install, probably at the weekend
PS drags file shows nothing out of the ordinary
