[SOLVED] How to delay MyCroft services startup?

So the sleep entry still didn’t work.

Here’s what I did to get the problem fixed:

  • Commented out the auto_run.sh line at the end of ~/.bashrc

Then, following instructions from the Respeaker Core V2 thread by @Dominik (link at the end):

  • Created the file /etc/systemd/system/mycroft.service with the following content:

    [Unit]
    Description=Mycroft personal AI
    After=seeed-voicecard.service

    [Service]
    User=pi
    WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/mycroft-core
    ExecStart=/home/pi/mycroft-core/start-mycroft.sh all
    ExecStop=/home/pi/mycroft-core/stop-mycroft.sh
    Type=forking
    Restart=always
    RestartSec=3

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target

  • Added the pi user the the pulse and pulse-access groups, not sure whether this was necessary.

  • Enabled the service sudo systemctl enable mycroft.service

Microphone now seems to start reliably after multiple reboots. And connecting over ssh is faster as it isn’t running auto_run.sh every time.
