MyCroft do not answer the questions (What time is it)

Ubuntu 16.04.2
Pairing completed

How can I enable logs to terminal? (to see why the skills are not executed correctly)

“Hey Mycroft” works fine. No response to any standard question. (Just followed the Documentation - Mycroft AI) - Until “Hey Mycroft, what time is it?”
Where do I find deeper information to find the errors/logs? (or how can I enable the services to show the results in terminal?

Thanks for your ideas and help :wink:

Hi.

First of all, I want to answer your question on how to show logs in terminal:

  • Start the services via ./mycroft.sh start or in separate terminal windows
  • Type screen -list to see all running services
  • Type screen -r <service name> to open the screen (e.g.: screen -r 2051.mycroft-cli--quiet to open the cli interface service)
  • In the CLI Interface, you can either talk to Mycroft or type your commands and it will reply and output the logs.

That said… after installing the Mycroft-core on Ubuntu myself just now, I am also facing the same problem as you are.
After pairing the device with Home, I tried to invoke some sample skills like “What time is it?” via CLI and voice, but neither worked. Weird thing is that I already installed Mycroft-core on another VirtualBox a week ago and back then it worked.

I also made a screenshot of the logs incl. my input in the CLI service.

The old version of the Mycroft-core didn’t have this CLI interface either, so maybe the new version has some issues?

Thanks for your fast response. On my screenshot you see that the speech is recognized correctly but the skill is not executed.

Here I got the same issue. May be the WolframAlpha Skilll API has changed…
