Mark1 successfully recognizes and executes IP address and hello world skills. However, most of the rest of the skills I’ve tested result in intent failure (little excerpt from the CLI log below). I’ve tried the everything on the https://mycroft.ai/get-started/ list. Interestingly, I was able to install daily mediation (but not easter eggs) skill.
The utterance recognized looks correct, just seems to be missing the intent. And indeed typing it in from the CLI has the same result (“sorry, didn’t catch that…”)
Total power cycle does not seem to help the problem. This has been the case since unboxing; i.e., this unit has not previously successfully executed skills other than hello world, ip address, and install skill. I would be grateful for some guidance on fixing Mycroft.

Hey there @jrwarwick, sorry to hear you’re having these issues with your Mark 1.
I’m going to get you to try an update manually;
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade mycroft-mark-1
This should pull down the latest version of the Mark 1 software and also update the core skills. The Core Skills are tose that are mentioned in Get Started - ie the ones that come pre-installed.
Thanks for the fast reply, @KathyReid. The update got underway but hit a snag partway through. From the console:

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I went ahead and issued the sudo dpkg --configure -a . I capture full output, but in summary, most of it looked nominal except for this part:
A pi user was detected, assuming this is Rasbpian on a Raspberry Pi

I can’t tell what it had trouble un-tar-ing, but the situation remains the same: IP and hello world work, time and alarms (and so on) do not.
Success! I added an apt-get clean to the front your recommended manual upgrade, and that processed cleanly
sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade mycroft-mark-1
After a reboot, Mycroft is now successfully determining intent and utilizing skills. Issue resolved. Thanks for your help, Kathy.
