Trying to get voximp to work

josomebody · 2008-10-30 23:33:27

I installed voximp from aur and did everything it said to do when the install file ran. Now when I try to run it I get the following traceback:

File "/usr/bin/voximp", line 190, in <module>
app = Voximp()
File "/usr/bin/voximp", line 50, in __init__
self.init_gst()
File "/usr/bin/voximp", line 56, in init_gst
+ '! pocketsphinx name=asr ! fakesink')
glib.GError: no element "vader"

I don't know much of anything about glib, and I've been wading through the voximp code to try to see just what's going on here.
I'm running awesome3. Is there anything specific I need to chage for that in the code?

If it helps any, I've got glib 1.2.10-7, python 2.5.2-5, and voximp 0.0.1-1, this is running on an eeepc900, kernel26 2.6.27.4-1, and awesome 3.0-1.

I'm having the same problem, and I installed everything from downloaded source, not AUR (due to the website outage). Anyone, I've found that my installation of sphinxbase doesn't work - it's not finding the libsphinxbase.so.1 library, even though it is installed in /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/lib. I know that python 2.6 is new - perhaps that is breaking sphinx? Or voximp?

josomebody, do the sphinxbase binaries run without error for you? (can you run something like sphinxbase_fe?)

As much as I like Arch, bleeding edge stuff drives me crazy some times

I"m upgrading to python2.6 as we speak. Then I'll give sphinxbase itself a shot and see what happens. I haven't had any luck with any of the scripts that come with sphinx yet, but they've always been hit-and-miss for me. I'll try some things here in a couple of minutes. To further complicate things, I came home from work and my eee was completely locked up, and stupid me no sshd running. Wouldn't raise skinny elephants, wouldn't switch to another vc. Took me forever to fsck the drive. Now I remember why I hate ext2.

yeah sphinx_re segfaulted.

deadrabbit · 2008-11-04 14:56:34

Apparently, it's normal for sphinx_fe to segfault without any input - not very graceful programming. I was finally able to get voximp working, with the following notes:

1. I compiled sphinxbase, pocketsphinx, and voximp from source (and not through AUR)
2. I had to add /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf to get sphinxbase to work (rather, to get it to segfault, which apparently means that it's working fine)
3. I also had to specify my audio input device in voximp (http://ardoris.wordpress.com/2008/08/09 … ol-voximp/)

I'm trying to install Voiximp but I get some problem with integrity check.

Can you please help me?

Aegidius · 2011-10-08 09:08:18

Ok, I installed it, but when I try to lunch it I get this error.

File "/usr/bin/voximp", line 51
self.pipeline.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)

TabError: inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation

Really, this is a three years old thread!

Aegidius, please do not necrobump: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … Bumping.27.
Open a new thread of your own for your problem.

Closing this one.

Aegidius,

First off, Welcome to Arch Linux -- we are glad you have joined us. However, you seem to have replied to an almost three year old thread.
The error you are seeing tells me the program is written in Python. According to the AUR, the package is flagged as out of date, and has not been updated since 2008. Since Arch led the charge on conversion to Python 3 about a year ago, you are may be hitting issues with Python 2 vs Python 3.

Regardless, I am not familiar with the participants in this thread, they may have moved on by now.

Because this is such an old thread, and many things have changed in three years, I am going to close this thread. If you would be so kind as to open a new thread under AUR issues with as much information as you can provide, I would appreciate it.

Our policy on old threads

Thanks

Edit: Good Morning Bernarcher, I see you beat me to it.
