Experiencing the same issue when running the Colab notebook (https://gist.github.com/NTT123/12264d15afad861cb897f7a20a01762e)

[mmcauliffe]

Can you run mfa configure --enable_auto_server and see if that fixes it?

[hailthedawn]

Thanks for the response! It didn't. Now, I'm getting:

The global MFA database server does not exist, initializing it first.

I can make a separate issue for this, but I did get the notebook code running on my local machine. However, when I try it with my own data (a 16khz wav file and its .txt transcript), I get the following error:

(The file is around 4 minutes long, if that's relevant.)

[mmcauliffe]

Can you try passing a full path to the -t directory? Wondering if it might be due to pg_ctl parsing it as an absolute path vs relative path. If that still doesn't work, can you attach your pg_init_log_global.txt and pg_log_global.txt?

My guess for the second one is that it's a different bug, so if you could create another issue with the align.1.log file attached, that'd be great!

[hailthedawn]

Still getting the same issue even after passing the full path.

My pg_init_log_global.txt:

initdb: error: cannot be run as root
initdb: hint: Please log in (using, e.g., "su") as the (unprivileged) user that will own the server process.

I don't seem to have a pg_log_global.txt - did it not init correctly?

[mmcauliffe]

Ah right yes, is it possible for you to create a non-root user to run MFA as in your container? https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

[hailthedawn]

Hmm, will look into it but I think i'll try to run it locally since there's one fewer bug there. I did make a new issue about it (https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner/issues/590).

[abinayreddy]

Still I am getting this error

Issue is resolved by installing dependencies first (conda install -c conda-forge python=3.8 kaldi sox librosa biopython praatio tqdm requests colorama pyyaml pynini openfst baumwelch ngram) provided in https://github.com/MontrealCorpusTools/Montreal-Forced-Aligner, before installing Montreal-Forced-Aligner.

[cartheee]

I also encountered this problem which related to postgresql.But when I reboot my computer,the command(mfa validate C:/static/databases/Librispeech/19 "C:/static/mfa_data/my_corpus/english_us_arpa.dict" "C:/static/mfa_data/mycorpus/english_us_arpa.zip") magically returned to normal

[hailthedawn]

Rebooting didn't work for me. What was the transcript format that you used @cartheee ? I'm not too familiar with forced aligners. I removed punctuation except for apostrophes, and have everything in a single chunk of text (no newlines). Should I insert a newline after every pause in the audio? There's some silence in the audio as well between speakers - do I need to tag it somehow in my transcript? Not sure if that could be the issue.

Good evening, why do you use postgres for dictionaries? it's enterprise level powerful database. it's source of bugs, complication of support and speed reduction in your case.

Classic python dictionaries have enough functionality for your task. If for some reason (it's hard to imagine such a thing) you need a database - take SQLite.

[thiago-aixplain]

A project I am working on uses MFA and require root user. SQLite as a dependency is generating a huge problem.
