MyCroft General Usage / Startup issue

General Discussion
1

Thank you for help getting mycroft installed successfully on linux.

The install ran clean.
‘audiotest’ successfully takes my input and plays it back as audio output

However, how do I actually make mycroft ‘live’? When I run ./start-mycroft.sh all , all the services start and no errors are indicated, but it then returns to the command prompt for new input. It is not ‘live listening’ for command words.

Also, it doesn’t look like I can start the cli-interface either.

… This is probably something basic since it seems to have installed/run ok, but I don’t see any additional direction I missed in the Getting Started-> Linux doc.

###ADD
Also, I’m looking back through the install output. It never produced a pairing code. I see in the pairing instruction steps it says that that is generated after successful install. Maybe I missed some part of install? The setup ran OK and services start.

  • how do I actually make mycroft ‘live’?
    I start it as a systemd service (when not developing).
    See: https://github.com/mike99mac/mycroft-tools/blob/master/smartBoombox.pdf

    What are the error messages?

  • It never produced a pairing code.
    Try this: grep "Pairing code" /var/log/mycroft/skills.log

Hope this helps.
