[SOLVED] Kubuntu plasma widget mic not working

microphone is not registered in mycroft . jabra 410 can any one help ?

i got mine working , i had to install pip seperate from mycroft installer and then update pip , i installed virtualenviroment seperate and update it , then i reinstalled mycroft with dev install script and it works great on kubuntu 17.10 with plasma widget

i tried the kde widget got it working has sound output but mic input with mycroft does not work any suggestions

What error are you getting?

none mic just doesnt work on just mycroft otherwise mic is working

Yeah, definitely try it again and post the exact error message and we should be able to help.

i switched to kubuntu got the plasma widget working sound out put works ect but the mic input doesn’t work ive tried different mics i think the voice input part is broken , do you know how to manually start all services when installed on a desktop from a terminal , the start.h command does nothing , thanks

restarting all mycroft-core services
Initializing…
Restarting: bus
Restarting: skills
Restarting: audio
Starting background service voice

it seems i was right voice services is not running , how do i fix?

i made some simple scripts to run in terminal to stop and start services to help diagnose this
#!/bin/bash

cd /home/$USER/mycroft-core/
./start-mycroft.sh all
paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/dialog-error.oga

and

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/$USER/mycroft-core/
./stop-mycroft.sh all
paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/dialog-error.oga

and a cli one

#!/bin/bash

cd /home/$USER/mycroft-core/
./start-mycroft.sh cli all
paplay /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo/dialog-error.oga

in cli terminal mic input is not showing up but mic does work with other applications

Can you post your logs? You can find them at scripts/logs/*.log. Also, if you want you can join an instant chat for faster responses at https://chat.mycroft.ai/.

yea i joined chat but no replies , thanks

i had to cut the log it was too big this is the botom of it

could this be the problem ?

for some reason the default input sink for the jabra is suspended ?

anybody know why this is ? i cant change the default sorce to 3 witht he command WTF?

johnny@Linux-3d:~$ pactlset-default-source 3
pactlset-default-source: command not found

OK, my takeaway from this is that the Wake Word engines - precise and pocketsphinx - are installed but can’t be triggered, which points to an audio issue. I have a Jabra 410 here and have a similar issue with the sink being suspended. One of the things I’ve found that works is to alter the pulseaudio config to disable suspend-on-idle.

To disable loading of the module-suspend-on-idle module, comment out the following line in the configuration file in use (~/.config/pulse/default.pa or /etc/pulse/default.pa):

~/.config/pulse/default.pa
### Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too long
#load-module module-suspend-on-idle

Try “pactl set-default-source 3”

yea i did it doesnt work , but it does work for output sources ???
