### Describe the bug:

I have been using the headless start for about a year. Ive needed to turn it on and off while using facial recognition software due to the high cpu demand (cant run both), but recently I have not been able to disable the service with "sudo systemctl disable gassistpi.service " and "sudo systemctl stop gassistpi.service".

I am prompted with "Failed to disable unit: No such file or directory" and "Failed to stop gassistpi.service: Unit gassistpi.service not loaded."

### Did you go through or search the issues section to check if your issue was already discussed (either currently open issues or closed issues).
Yes

### 2. Is the issue related to assistant installation ?
No

### If answer to question 2 is Yes, then paste the contents of the terminal below.

### If answer to question 2 is No, then proceed further.
### 3. Does the assistant service start normally?
Yes

### 4. Is the assistant service restarting automatically?
Yes

### If answer to question 4 is Yes, then paste the contents of the terminal below.

The service works as it should, but I am trying to stop the service and the normal disable and stop no longer work for me.

### If answer to question 4 is No, then proceed further.
### Manually start the assistant. For guidelines to start the assistant manually refer [this](https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi#manually-start-the-assistant)

### Paste the command below, that crashed the assistant

### Paste the contents of the terminal below

Are you sure , you ran the systemd service installer? After running the service installer, it should be enabled. Looks like it has not been enabled.

[fragolinux]

problems here, too... just installed on rpi0w, audio tests were ok, but going to start service i get this:

[shivasiddharth]

Did you run the installer multiple times? The line with the execute command is missing. Please check the service file from the master. You can replace the existing service file from master, and remove the line with main.py and just retain the line with pushbutton.py. After that disable the service, re-run the service installer.

[fragolinux]

unfortunately yes, it was stuck at grpcio and i hit ENTER to see if something was still working or stuck... but so the installer "saved" that "enter" for when it asked to visit the url to get the authcode and failed... so i rerun, it went waaaaaay faster than before, i waited for the url, got the authcode, put there, made the audio tests, all fine... so, i just need this, with proper mods in there, and i'm fine? https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi/blob/master/systemd/gassistpi.service and for changing language, i can change it now in src/config.yaml or need to recompile? and as i'm on pi0w, no mqtt, right? when run manually, it does not react to "ok googlel", and if i press the button on the aiy-hat kit, it says the following instead of being ready to answer:

Initializing GPIO 25 for assistant activity indication
Stopped
stopping vlc

[shivasiddharth]

For the systemd files, yup those mods and you should be fine. For changing the language, add a --langargument along with the modelid and device id. The language change in the config.yaml is only for the custom say function. to change the language of the assistant, you need to use the --lang argument.

The pushbutton.py/pi zero assitsant comes with two different methods of assistant activation. 1. custom wakeword 2. Pushbutton They are mutually exclusive so you can have only one at a time. The default custom wakewords are alexa and snowboy. If you want a "Ok google" wakeword, you need to create your own model in snowboy. The pushbutton trigger is on GPIO 22 and the AIY's GPIO 23 is set as a stop button for music. You can interchange them in the config.yaml.

And yes Pizero does not support MQTT

[fragolinux]

i added " --lang 'it' " to the service, disabled previous, reinstalled new, enabled new, started new, in systemctl status i see that it started with the --lang parameter, but once it produces sound, it says HI instead of "ciao" (hi in italian)... and i swapped 22 and 23 in config.yaml with no results, in systemctl status i continue to see vlc stopped and google don't start asking or answering... i even disabled both youtube and gmusicapi in config.yaml but i see warnings in systemctl status about missing json/api/keys need to recompile after changing the config.yaml? man, thanks for your work and your help, very appreciated, tell me how can do a donation :)

[fragolinux]

if i say "alexa", both my echo dot and the rpi start flashing (rpi the aiykit led in the button), but if i ask something in italian, only "real" alexa answers, while the rpi continues blinking with the button... and does not react saying "snowboy", to prevent actual alexa to answer... Thanks

[shivasiddharth]

Never mind the warnings, they are caused by the import of the modules/packages. The language code that you have given for the argument is wrong, for the language codes, refer to this page https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/rpc/languages. The starting Hi is a pre-generated tone, I never found time to generate tones for other languages. Will do it sometime in the near future. The models that i have provided for snowboy are universal models, its always better to generate your own voice models and use. Visit this page to create your own voice model https://snowboy.kitt.ai/dashboard Remember to have a noise free environment while generating a voice model and try to use the existing pi setup itself that will give a better accuracy while triggering. For contributions to the project, you can use the donation button on the project page (https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi)

[fragolinux]

oh, ok, i was thinking the code was the same as in the config.yaml i'll do my snowboy model tomorrow, thanks and for the other problems? Even if i say alexa, it does not answer, and keeps blinking the aiy led in the top button... and swap 22 and 23 in config.yaml didn't produce anything... need recompile? donation done! :)

[fragolinux]

how can i check logs... now that i set lang to "it-IT", when it starts it plays the sound various times, as it crashes while playing it or the like, and after 3 or 4 times (delayed about 30 seconds 1 with each next) it finally completes the startup sound and says HI... but finally it now answers if i ask something :)

edit: nope, something is happening... it answered 2 times, the third it was as the startup sound, it's like it crashed while answering... and never came back to life, had to restart service...

re-edit: and after it said HI, it's like is dead again... after restarting service, it sometimes starts answering then crashes...

[shivasiddharth]

are you using the pushbutton/custom wakeword ? in the config.yaml scroll right to the bottom and set custom wakeword to disabled if you want to use the pushbutton. Like i said before, they are mutually exclusive either one mode of trigger only. can you manually start the assistant on a terminal after stopping the service and then try the commands ? that will give you an idea as to what is happening. Also you can post the terminal contents here for me to take a look.

[GitterKEIS]

Was testing with a Pi3B+ Found also some trouble with the headless startup. Checked first in terminal: systemctl list-unit-files Seems gassistpi.service was disabled.

Used the link: https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi/blob/master/systemd/gassistpi.service

Because I am using a Pi3B (In my case the +) with original Google Aiy Voice Hat. In terminal: sudo nano /home/pi/GassistPi/systemd/gassistpi.service Removed line 10 from the pushbutton.py Filled in in line 9 the 'saved-model-id' (My own model ID) Save and Exit....

Again In terminal: sudo ./GassistPi/scripts/service-installer.sh sudo systemctl enable gassistpi.service systemctl list-unit-files

And it seemed to be enabled, sudo systemctl start gassistpi.service After that in terminal: sudo systemctl start gassistpi.service sudo reboot

And it was headless starting up again.....Thx

Still finding some troubles with "Hey/Hi Google" - 'Shutdown' or 'Reboot' But now I am at least able to: in terminal: sudo systemctl stop gassistpi.service

Use now for the time being Crontab -e to start main.py at boot with Screen to see whats going on.... Handy tool sudo apt-get install screen More info about screen: https://raspi.tv/2012/using-screen-with-raspberry-pi-to-avoid-leaving-ssh-sessions-open

Hope it helps

[shivasiddharth]

I have fixed the issue in the last commit https://github.com/shivasiddharth/GassistPi/commit/5cc2e91b928553c0730b15f1a0f8a68cd3987971 from now on, even if the installer is re-run several times, that should not affect the service file.

[fragolinux]

running in console i get this, the vlc part goes on indefenitely, i had to kill the process from other ssh session (as you see i tried a ctrl-c without success)... it detected my hotword, i asked what time is it, then it crashed while answering, only half answer spoken:

Seems like GPIO 22 on AIY HAT has been pulled down by default. Can you try changing it to some other pin ?

[fragolinux]

Seems like GPIO 22 on AIY HAT has been pulled down by default. Can you try changing it to some other pin ?

ehm, i'm using the stock original (1st version) hat with its own connector (second from the right), 2 wires for the led, 2 for the button... but button is fine, as i tested yesterday when they were configured as standard config.yaml, each time i pressed it, on console appeared the vlc error, so the button is not stuck...

[fragolinux]

i'll try in the afternoon to shut down gassistpi and test with some basic gpio script, but as said, yesterday button was working just fine (at least, it triggered vlc every time i pressed it)...

[shivasiddharth]

GPIO 23 is the AIY HAT's arcade button (for triggering) GPIO 22 is the stopbutton that i have set for stoping music. In the config.yaml, can you change the stupbutton GPIO to 26 instead of 22

[fragolinux]

GPIO 23 is the AIY HAT's arcade button (for triggering) GPIO 22 is the stopbutton that i have set for stoping music. In the config.yaml, can you change the stupbutton GPIO to 26 instead of 22

so not what you wrote me yesterday? to just swap 22 and 23 in config.yaml, as you can see in my config file in previous comment?

[shivasiddharth]

To clear things up, first AIY HAT's arcade button (23) was set to stop and Triggering button was (22). As you wanted the arcade button to trigger, i asked you to swap them both. Now 23 is for triggering and 22 is for stopping music. The AIY' 22 has been pulled low by default, so i asked you to change the 22 to 26. The config file should look like this now:

[fragolinux]

now as you said with stopbutton 26, no more vlc problems in console, but randomly as it's answering it just crashes in the middle of the sentence... if i can do some logs, tell me how...

[shivasiddharth]

Its an ongoing issue with the grpc https://github.com/googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python/issues/303
