Tool oservations and Issues ? #1

Open LazzaAU opened 3 years ago

LazzaAU commented 3 years ago

I thought today that i'd test the Cli tool out and use it to wipe and reinstall alice. The below is my observations.

  1. "prepareSdCard" wouldn't work for me, always returned " please insert sd card " message. I'm using a 32gb sandisk card if that is relevant. 1.1 "search for a device" - returns no devices, however i have two alices and a satellite on my network
  2. Next option choosen was "install soundcard" - as far as i can tell all went smoothly
  3. Then i tried "install Alice" - CLI tool told me alice aready exists.. erase and reinstall ?....., i said yes
  4. Observation... the venv gets created using python 3.7, should that not be 3.8 at minimum nowadays ?
  5. During initilizer stage i get the below 
    Missing key **False** in provided yaml file.
[Initializer]     Config file already existing and user not wanting to rewrite, aborting
[Project Alice]           Starting Alice main unit
  6. start up kept looping due to this error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/GnGVC7mq2x/ the remedy for that is to "reboot" however there is no automation of that or any indication that a user should reboot to allow Alice to continue
  7. after reboot (#6) the mqtt error sort of disappears, Alice then tried about 3 times to connect, initially had the same as #6, then she tried again and had a audio error so she restarted again , then had another " mqtt keyword error" so she restarted herself again ,and then finally started the rest of the install process.
  8. During the install a dependency was "deepspeech" so it downloaded that. Suggest it doesnt do that as its a huge file and doesnt work well anyway.
  9. Eventually everything installed and Alice started ,
  10. Each reboot i continue to get 
    [SkillManager]            Skill "Telemetry" does not comply to "activeManager" condition, required "['TelemetryManager']"
  11. each reboot it keeps doing 
    [Initializer]     Starting Project Alice initialization
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libxslt1-dev' instead of 'libxslt-dev'
and all the other version checks

I tested the above steps three times. same deal every time i tried.

Did you insert a raspbian OS flashed SD?

To search for devices, it looks up to devices named "raspberrypi" or "projectalice". It looks up the actual network mask you're on and searches on it. 99% of the time those tools won't work with Windows, but on Linux and Mac... Too bad I'm a pro Windows and it works on standard ips (192.168.x.x). No idea if it can scan all these weird 10.x.x.x ips

That'll make sense then. The pi i was using was

I figured cause it was a already working install that choosing "install alice" would remove the original ProjectAlice folder and reinstall a new copy and all would go smoothly considering it was working before i started. wasnt the case for me. perhaps i'll try with a clean raspbian OS next time

Reinstalling should work? The cli should tell you there's an install already and ask if overwrite or not?

LazzaAU commented 3 years ago

yep as per point number 3

This should all be good now?
