mmm assistant mk2

dvbit

Update: I reinstalled from scratch (again for a2d I had to do a npm rebuild, you may want to take note)

Still the same issue of assistant hanging after query:
I do the query, hotword recognized, query recognized, answer fetched, answer saved in temp and displayed on screen bottom but no audio feedback and gogle spin icon going.
After refreshing the screen goes again in “steady state”

Now I am sure I have a sound output issue.
Meaning that I can play sounds on the mirror via vlc but somehow the plugin cannot.
I guess that somehow the plugin does not receive a feedback of “play ended” from the output.
What I also noticed is that if I refresh the browser by vnc the mirror will go again in a waiting status.
Will continue checking

could it be this: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1243

Edit: Nope - vlc outputs sound

IMPORTANT:
The Install script for the audio output was succesfull just the first time.
on second install I skipped the output part as I could not get through indeed.
However the input was working just fine. recorded my voice and could hear it.

Posting here my asoundrc file

pcm.!default {
  type asym
  playback.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "output"
  }
  capture.pcm {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "input"
  }
}

pcm.output {
  type hw
  card 0
}

ctl.!default {
  type hw
  card 0

Input is : kinect microphones
Output : TV speakers (directly through TV speakers)

@Bugsounet it also has sandbox…

we just moved up to V6 from V3 on 2.10, some things newer don’t work on pi…

After 6 month … maybe it will be solved !

I mean I did run the bash
No output. here is the detail listing of the folder.
I do not see any timestamps changed…

sdetweil

@Bugsounet don’t count on it!!

A Former User

not fixed

sdetweil

@dvbit have to do from the MagicMirror folder… sorry, will fix for future

A Former User

cd ~/MagicMirror
sudo chown root node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 node_modules/electron/dist/chrome-sandbox

dvbit

done it from MagicMirror folder.
Can I see any file being changed somewhere?
I did a ls -la in
~/MagicMirror/node_modules/electron/dist
and there seems to be no change there

A Former User

result must be:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root pi  4204060 mai   20 15:23 chrome-sandbox

sdetweil

@Bugsounet maybe he doesn’t have sudo rights…

must do change to root first

sdetweil

@dvbit it NEEDS the quotes

I see I had a typo, try again

dvbit

@sdetweil Thanks I removed the final quote as I was ending up with a prompt

will try again now with

dvbit

@Bugsounet and it is

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root pi 4202140 May 30 12:38 chrome-sandbox

A Former User

bash -c "$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/fixsandbox)"

result:
fixing sandbox permissions

A Former User

cool ;)

let retry now MAgicMirror

edit: Fingers crossed
