Wake Word not detected

That was the result from permissions.sh.

The result is that now the user is in the groups (there is no output, unless there is a failure)

Not sure if “root” is the best to run with. In this case pulse has to be run systemwide, isn’t it?
@j1nx might have some idea

you have a user mycroft, this has to be run from there.
su mycroft

Could it be that the user “mycroft” needs access to pulse?

I’m still not sure why only wake words are not working with this, though.

That’s for sure … see edit above

root@DietPi:~# su mycroft
This account is currently not available.

Is there a necessity that mycroft is sitting on a mount?
BTW i hope you have not exposed owncloud to the outside.

Happy to help, but could anyone formulate the exact question to me? Not sure, how/what/when…

I guess there are many questions. At least on my side :wink:

First of which, under what user is mycroft running? This setup is a bit confusing. > `
ps aux | grep python

I just installed Mycroft via default Dietpi installation.

What’s wrong with my Owncloud setup?

add mycroft to root group

I just did, but I noticed that somewhere along the way, my microphone and speakers stopped working :pensive:

I got everything working again, but there’s still no detection of wake words, even after adding the user “mycroft” to the “root” group.

The microphone works if I run a command via mycroft-cli-client and let it ask me something (“set timer for how long?”), it’s ‘just’ the wakeword thats making problems.

Don’t run anything for mycroft as root, as that tends to screw more things up than it helps. The error indicates it didn’t have permissions to the input device, so pulseaudio may not be getting started correctly (ie, as mycroft).

So, in theory, the next step would be killing the pulseaudio process, and restarting it as the mycroft user?

Edit: After a reboot:
