All of the Raspberry PI Model B+ download links are dead. Can the image not be hosted on github?

Hi,

I tried to set it up today, it doesn't work. I have a raspberry pi with the edimax plug into it. I flash the SD card with the image you recommended. I turn on the raspberry pi for the first time and I get the error...

"[FAIL] check syslog for diagnostics. ... failed!"
"[FAIL] startpar: service(s) returned failure: isc-dhcp-server ... failed!"

This is the error I get on the brand new image with the wifi dongle that's known to work with raspberry pi.

Any idea of what should I do to fix this?

Cheers,
Mickey

Thank you all for you support in advance

Hi, is Italian supported ?

So I have a fresh build of arch on the rpi2 and trying to build pocketsphinx (or any stt for that matter). I keep hitting an error for the dependency cmuclmtk and m2m-aligner that is needed under the package build for pocketsphinx, and all the other stt engines through the AUR, saying it doesn't support armv6h. I even tried just building sphinx and ran into this problem. The website suggests that Jasper was built for use with the pi but I keep running into arm errors. Is there another suggested stt engine that I can use without this dependency? Or another way to build?

I installed arch with these instructions

Links here for downloading the image return 404 http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/software/#quick-start

It looks like the whole Sourceforge project is gone http://sourceforge.net/projects/jasperproject

This is the error im getting when running jasper through jasper.py
and if I run it through main.py a similar error occurs.
Can anyone help me please?

i want to ask about jasper i am about a week to get jasper to work i dont get it to work becaurse files like

this When i run the command "sudo apt-get -t experimental install phonetisaurus m2m-aligner mitlm" i get the following error: http://pastebin.com/yFFjWuwe

I tried downloading the sources and compiling on the Pi, but when i try to download phonetisaurus i get a 404 error, the link is probably outdated.

can you helping me

I haven't found much documentation about having separate STT engines for passive/active mode.

It seems ideal to have a simple/offline STT (e.g. Sphinx) passively listen for a programmable wake-up word (e.g. "Jasper"). Then it would active listen using a different STT such as Google Speech API. There could be separate passive/active fields in the profile.yml file.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems Jasper currently uses the same STT for both passive and active listening?

I will burn the latest Jasper build to my Pi tonight.

From: http://jasperproject.github.io/documentation/faq
'Does Jasper work with two-factor email authentication?
Unfortunately, no. If you use two-factor authentication for your Gmail, there’s currently no way to integrate it with Jasper (although this would be a welcome pull request!).'

What about the use of an application specific password? I will make an attempt tonight if I do not see a response before then.

Support article: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

In the steps listed for building the dependencies for pocketsphinx from scratch, the wget for the phonetisaurus source is failing with a 404. Is there a newer version of the phonetisaurus source that can be used?

While reading the website, one gets the impression that Jasper sends all collected voice data to someone online, which is a big trade-off even compared to Jasper's awesome functionality.

I read through almost all of the website, looking for a note about what would happen to my data:

• Home page just says "Always listening" (scary)
• Documentation hints that an internet connection is required (scary)
• Documentation also says that "Gmail password [...] will never leave the Pi", which is hard to believe if email access is supposed to work

Maybe you could add an FAQ entry like "What happens to the data collected by Jasper?", mentioning what really happens to always-on voice data in CMUSphinx, third-party service credentials, request history etc. (Something that replies to "Can a company / government entity listen in with Jasper"?).

Would be great to have this under a tab on the left

looks like in the new jessie version of the os the config file mentioned on this page under configuring raspbian is now located here: /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf

The manual instructions in the "Manual Installation" section instruct to download the /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/bin and phonetisaurus binaries. I see several issues.

I looked into the usrlocalbin_binaries.tar.gz file and the content seems to be binaries from the CMU-Cambridge Statistical Language Modeling Toolkit V2. If so, then they are distributed under the following conditions:

 /*=====================================================================

You at least violate the condition that the entire copyright noticed must be included in any copies of the software. I can't see such a notice in the usrlocalbin_binaries.tar.gz file.

I can make a similar argument for the content of the usrlocallib_binaries.tar.gz tarball which seems to contain binaries from the packages mitlm (MIT), pocketsphinx (BSD) and phonetisaurus (BSD) which all require at least attribution.

Since I find it unlikely that you are the copyright holder of all the software I mentioned above, I thought it was prudent to notify you that you infrince of the respective copyright owners licenses by distributing the binaries in the current form.

Additionally, why do you instruct to manually compile pocketsphinx and sphinxbase? Both packages are in Debian and you dont need to recompile them.

Coming to my original goal of this bugreport: could you please document how all binaries (except for those from Debian packages) are created? Given that mitlm, pocketsphinx and phonetisaurus are in Debian, this should only boil down to documenting how you generated the binaries for the CMU-Cambridge Statistical Language Modeling Toolkit V2.

Sadly the CMU-Cambridge Statistical Language Modeling Toolkit V2 is released under a research-only license which means that I can't use jasper for anything else than research. It is sad, that the media portraits it as if jasper could be used for home automation but I doubt that private home automation falls under "research purposes".

Is there a way to use jasper without the CMU-Cambridge Statistical Language Modeling Toolkit V2? Otherwise jasper can only ever be a cool tech demo but never be used outside university.

Hi,

I would like to know if you are considering the support of Philips Hue by Jasper?
Thanks

I'd like to see a complete listing for the settings in profile.yml to help troubleshoot when it couldn't find a location while running the profiler.

You should review the links on hardware guide. Some of them are broken, others point to unavailable products.

Hello,
can use jasper on ubuntu ?

thanks

Hi everyone,
I think that the record compression is wrong in jasper... With simple arecord test i ear a lot of noise... sO i would change this by set default sl16, or something like that, throw .asound file but i dont know how do that...

In any case after a lot of try jasper recognize "jasper" from my voice... But nothing happen... I use wit.ai ad start with denug mode...

Can anyone help me?

Many users, especially beginners, will have arrived at this reference (in the Install Guide) by Method 1. In this case, they are using whatever version of Debian was provided in the image file, and they won't know which. So this condition is simply confusing.

This is not a real Jasper issue, but I am running out of options (I am sorry).
I am trying to combine Jasper with OpenCV functions (and others).
When I run Jasper with "asyncore".
Giving the IO 9993 error (please explain this code!!).
If I do not, it will LOCK, so unable to do anything else.
Only option is to OS.FORK and use SOCKET.
But this I do not find pretty, does anybody have any idea?

I'd like to make a module to have Jasper run nmap. I'm very new to this whole process and have been researching and trying to figure it out but it's not going well.
Could I re-work a current module to run nmap or would I have to start from scratch.

So, to summarize: I want to set up a keyword for Jasper to run nmap. Seems simple but I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated!

When I try to get pip, it all fails when trying 2 install manually. Is there an image you guys could upload already in the squashfs format for berryboot?

The installation documentation tells us to test playback with:

aplay -D hw:1,0 temp.wav

But when I run Jasper with the --debug param, I see that it uses plughw instead of hw.
I'm not entirely sure how this affects everything but I thought I'd mention it.

Loving this project so far!

Hi,
It is possible to update FAQ ?
Some answers seems to not be valid anymore and some links are broken.

Here is an example :
Can I change Jasper’s name?
Sure, you can just replace the “Jasper” name in main.py and musicmode.py.
-> Jasper need to be replace in jasper.py and musicmode.py is not present in the latest version.

Currently, following information is missing in the "Installation" docs:

• Comment out the line
  options snd-usb-audio index=-2
  in /lib/modprobe.d/aliases.conf
• Select the output (jack plug or HDMI) via
  sudo raspi-config
  BEFORE rebooting with the new ALSA settings (jasper.conf)

If you do the steps currently described, it is not possible afterwards to select the audio output with raspiconfig.

I am getting stuck on the wireless setup page since I do not have a password for my wireless router. It appears that Jasper is expecting something other than a blank field. When I enter anything other than a blank field I can proceed, but of course Jasper fails to connect to my router. Sure I can easily create a password for my router, was curious what I can change in the code to accept a blank password.

I am about to test this

save the configuration without a password

wifi = Wifi()
wifi.add_wifi(network, "")

#wifi.add_wifi(network, password)

I'm using Raspbian, and using a RPi2.. perhaps this wasn't clear to me but I count Raspbian as Debian.. so when the instructions told me to just do the following :

On Debian, you can install these from the experimental repository:

sudo su -c "echo 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main contrib non-free' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/experimental.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -t experimental install phonetisaurus m2m-aligner mitlm

I thought that would load FSTCompile, but when I got a little further I came upon an error, and had to backtrack.

May I suggest some indentation to break up these instructions? I will create A PR if that's okay.

According to:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/permissions/v2.1

the Facebook manage_notifications permission now requires review. This may not be a good approach to recommend to beginners moving forward, so the notification demo should be changed.

It's a large file, and that way we can save sourceforge the bandwidth. I found this torrent:

http://burnbit.com/torrent/290881/jasper_disk_image_tar_gz

which seems totally legit, but I'd feel better about it if I knew the project owners had signed off on it.

Hello,

I would like to know if Jasper has support for the following;

• Work offline
• Work without a wake word (continuous listening)

If yes, I have 5 words in the Arabic language that I would like to use to run commands.

Is this possible?

Looking forwards to your response

How about a forum for sharing modules and other jasper based chat? I know most custom modules people want to share with end up on github anyway, but would be nice to have one place to see all of them.

Thanks for the great work so far!

When accessing the jasperproject.github.io site through HTTPS (as is offered by github, and for example will be default when using the HTTPS Anywhere Firefox extension) the main text on the site is essentially unreadable on my system. This is because the Google Font API usage is hard coded for HTTP, which will not work when included in an HTTPS site.

This is how it looks for me:
(there are a couple of complicating factors, such as locally installed fonts, so you may not be able to reproduce this exact rendering).

Solution: When including the Google Font API, instead of using an absolute URL, use a schema-relative URL. Instead of

  <!-- Fonts from Google Fonts -->
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

use

  <!-- Fonts from Google Fonts -->
    <link href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:300,400,900' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
