Memorize 33 crashes

[CarolineM]

Crashes or freezes if you pick speak during create.
Does not play a shared game with a Memorize 32 machine.
Seems slower.

[alsroot]

Caroline, could you post org.laptop.Memorize* and shell.log
in debug mode(you need to uncomment "export SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug" line in ~/.sugar/debug file)

[erikos]

or:  http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/BugSquad/Get_Logs

[alsroot]

also try this command in Terminal:
gst-launch-0.10 espeak text="1 2 3" ! alsasink

if doesn't speak ok "1 2 3", run it in debug mode:
gst-launch-0.10 espeak text="1" ! alsasink --gst-debug=5 > espeak.log 2>&1
and attach espeak.log which this commands should make

how do I find the espeak log from Browse to attach it inside of Sugar?

import it to Journal first:
"copy-to-journal espeak.log -m text/plain"

btw did "gst-launch-0.10 espeak text="1 2 3" ! alsasink" pronounce something?

[CarolineM]

no, speak doesn't seem to work on the stick anymore either.

Replying to CarolineM:

could you try also:
"gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav ! decodebin ! alsasink"
does it sound w/o artifacts?

and
"gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav ! decodebin ! pulsesink"
"gst-launch-0.10 espeak text="1 2 3" ! pulsesink"

unfortunately, pulse doesn't work well on my audio chipset(intel ICH8), so it all time sounds artifacts(in all cases not only with speak)

[CarolineM]

Hi,

This is still an issue and I don't really understand what information I should provide.

Given how poorly sound is working in general on SoaS right now maybe we should back off on trying to add speak to Memorize. Its an awesome feature but I think the underlying audio system is not up for it yet?

FWIW, I was just briefly testing Memorize and its speech feature on an XO-1 ( http://dev.laptop.org/~smparrish/XO-1/builds/OS8). It was working very well, with no crashes, and smooth, clear speech playback.

[alsroot]

Caroline, could you test last soas(in my case it sounds more smooth) and v34(was fixed bug which could potentially lead to crash).

[CarolineM]

I tested on a VirtualBox instance and version 34 still crashed.

Here is the log:  http://screencast.com/t/RKvTXC1dJh

Did you start soas in VirtualBox? What exact iso version?
(I still can't reproduce this crash in all my envs)

[CarolineM]

I tried on both the GPA spin and June 24th Strawberry.

Here is the log

Thanks!

looks like its a WatchMe log not Memorize

Thanks!

I tried 22-Jun-2009 iso
 http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-strawberry.iso
it sounds bad(pulseaudio is too old) but Memorise-34 doesn't crash(in qemu and native), maybe its a VirtualBox issue.

Could you try native boot.. and better w/ one of last soas dev releases.

[CarolineM]

Hi Alsroot,

My focus right now is on the GPA pilot and we are on Strawberry until Blueberry is released. I don't think it makes sense to try to interim updates of the underlying OS. It maybe that the right answer is to wait for BlueBerry before we add the speak guy?

yeah, BlueBerry would be the best option anyway.
I'll install VirtualBox to try to reproduce crash w/ Strawberry.

[godiard]

Is working ok in actual releases.
