8 years ago without sudo , before starting it asks : mv: replace 'jarvis-commands', overriding mode 0644 (rw-r--r--)?

8 years ago Jarvis must not be started with sudo (for many reasons), as per the wiki: https://github.com/alexylem/jarvis/wiki/usage
Note: Ne jamais lancer Jarvis avec sudo (les fichiers générés ne seraient plus accessibles à la prochaine utilisation)
As suggested by @devauxa, you first need to change ownership of all generated files within ~/jarvis (or wherever your jarvis folder is):
sudo chown pi:pi -R ~/jarvisIdea: I could add a check at program startup to verify it is not started with sudo

8 years ago i will try it. also do i need to uninstall it and install it again ? may be files has already changed because i miss used it with sudo ? also is translation of wiki to english possible ?
thanks

8 years ago Install it again: no need, just change the file owner as suggested above
Files changed? yes most probably, this is why you need to do the chown. Please do it and let us know if we can close the ticket.
Translation of wiki is discussed here: #107

8 years ago sorry it is a bit late but i tested it for 3 days before telling you it is running continiously for 3 days without any problem, chown fixed it, i think. you can close the ticket thank you

7 years ago Hi guys,
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I'm facing exactly the same issue when using Snowboy for a non-Jarvis project I'm working on. I understand the circumstances may be different, but is there any insight you could give me into what this error means and how I could fix it?
The Snowboy detector starts successfully maybe 20% of the time, all the other times I get the error shared by @xsertunc above (paTimedOut to pthread_join).
Thanks, Aazim.

7 years ago @aazimh do you use the latest version of Jarvis? We have changed a lot the script of snowboy that is now using sox instead of pyaudio.
Also try stopping pulseaudio just in case.
Have you also made sure the permissions are ok as it fixed the issue for @xsertunc ?

7 years ago @alexylem I'm actually not using Jarvis as I mentioned before, I'm only using Snowboy for hotword detection and then I convert my speech to text and process it on my own. The part I'm struggling with is initializing the detector as I get the same error mentioned above which seems to be a pyaudio issue.
I ran pulseaudio -k and made sure it's dead, but still get the error.
I like the idea of using sox instead of pyaudio - do you think it's possible for me to replace my snowboydetector.py file with yours and try that instead? Or have you changed it significantly enough for it to break other things?

7 years ago You can retrieve our maindecoder_sox.py and use it from our main.py here:
https://github.com/alexylem/jarvis/tree/master/stt_engines/snowboy
Hope it will fix your pb. Otherwize I would recommend you to raise a ticket in the actual snowboy repo 😉

7 years ago @alexylem It actually worked! I basically pulled the recording functions from your file and added them into mine and moved some things around and it worked! Thank you so much!
Also, just a note, when using the 'rec' function to record I kept getting an EOF Error - could be just me as my 'rec' command doesn't work in the terminal either. I moved to 'arecord' and it started working though, just FYI.
Thanks so much again, this has been bothering me for the last 3 days so it's a huge relief to finally have it working! :)

7 years ago @aazimh glad to hear, you're welcome! rec is actually part of sox package which you can install via sudo apt-get install sox. It is a dependency of Jarvis that's why we used it instead of arecord.

commented
7 years ago @alexylem Yes I have sox installed, but I think my settings are off as whenever I use rec in the terminal it just says can't open input 'default' so I assume my microphone needs to be set up as the default input device somehow.
I have another question - the stream that is being recorded (whether through rec or arecord), it's in memory right? So is it being cleared at all or does it just use up more and more memory the longer the program is running? I think the get to RingBuffer clears it, but not sure so wanted to confirm.

7 years ago @aazimh yes indeed you need to get it as default. We use ~/.asoundrc for this.
I think it is consumed as it records. I have not seen any significant increasing of memory by snowboy, except CPU when there is noise.

7 years ago @alexylem Stopped being lazy and Googled it, just needed to set export AUDIODEV=hw:1,0 and so I'm back to using rec now :) thanks for all your help!
i use snowboy to trigger and google to stt
most of the time trigger and recognitions works excellent but sometimes trigger (snowboy) doesn't start and it gives this error:
Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server request channel jack server is not running or cannot be started Expression 'paTimedOut' failed in 'src/os/unix/pa_unix_util.c', line: 387 Expression 'PaUnixThread_New( &stream->thread, &CallbackThreadFunc, stream, 1., stream->rtSched )' failed in 'src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c', line: 2998 Expression 'pthread_join( self->thread, &pret )' failed in 'src/os/unix/pa_unix_util.c', line: 441
all log is like this: (i use rpi3 + logitech c270 webcam)
