@olzeke51 Are you using Adguard, if yes please disable it. https://whl.smartgic.io is pointing to my dyndns domain and this seems to be a culprit.

65

firefox 132.0
Mx-Linux 1.0 package manager
edit:
checked for Adguard in my FF extension/add-ons - nada

66

I couldn’t even go to the straight website
edit - timed out

67

wait a minute - the Raspberry failed to gain access ???, terminal session via SSH!

68

It should be back up again, DNS is resolving to the correct address.

69

will restart the install - ?? good to go on linux 6.6.51+rpt-rpi-v8 ??

I’ve been trying to get sound and recording working on the device(mark II) and for some reason I am not able to.

Is aplay supposed to work?

As you can see I think they are reporting correctly, but when I play a wav file i hear nothing.

Thanks

Hi @Goddard

Thanks for testing the ovos-installer and Open Voice OS!

I would suspect a wireplumber issue, since version 0.5.x kind of broke everything.

Can you confirm your wireplumber version please?

$ wireplumber -v

Hello. I’ve attempted an installation of OVOS on an ODroid HC-4.
While it seemed to have installed, none of the services seem to want to start.
When attempting an uninstall via :

sudo ./installer.sh --uninstall

This hangs on the step,

Validating installer package requirements...

  • Would you please advise?

Thank you!

Burkert

Hi @burkert

Can you try with the -d option in order to enable the debug mode?

sudo ./installer.sh --uninstall -d
77

Thank you, @goldyfruit

It hangs on apt_ensure :

+ echo -ne '➤ Validating installer package requirements... '

+ case "$DISTRO_NAME" in

For what its worth, 6 of the 7 packages are installed :

What if you try to run the command manually?

apt install python3 python3-dev python3-pip python3-venv whiptail expect jq
79

@goldyfruit

Thank you, reads like python3-pip will not install as a result of some unmet (potentially recursive) dependencies.

I am by NO means confident working within Python. I welcome any and all advice which you may have.

Seems you downloaded the wrong Raspberry Pi OS image, looks like you are running 32-bit this howto is for 64-bit.

81

@goldyfruit

Thank you. While I’m not sure how I would have installed 32-bit OVOS instead of 64-bit, the O/S (Armbian 24.11.1) is 64-bit

The error made me think that you were in 32-bit as armhf is not a ARM64 architecture.

                         Breaks: python3-setuptools:armhf (< 73)

This is a package issue from Armbian repositories. The ovos-installer expects the python3-pip package to be installed via apt.

FYI, Armbian is not a supported Linux distribution by the ovos-installer as it never really has been tested with.

You can find a list of supported Linux distributions here.

@goldyfruit

Thank you. Am I correct in the assumption that in order to cleanly uninstall, I first need to resolve installation of python3-pip?

In the event that may not be an option, shall I instead try the aforementioned workaround (install pip3 via python3 get-pip.py, omit check for python3-pip from ovos-installer/utils/common.sh)?

Thank you!
