Does the pre-compiled disk image works? about jasper-client HOT 7 CLOSED

It does work, with some tweaking. I had the same issue as your self, follow the instructions in the first reply on the closed issue below:

Hi nicktones, thanks for your reply. I am connecting my Raspberry Pi to Ethernet cable( not wireless), plug in an usb keyboard and microphone. Connect to a monitor using the HDMI. Anything wrong with my setup? Must I really need to be using wifi?

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

No problems, all looks good.

You should still be able to use Jasper with those errors. It is just failing to setup the DHCP server which is initially used when setting up wifi.

Once I ran the populate.py and reboot, jasper should auto start after the reboot, right?

After reboot, I tried to speak to the usb mic but no response. Anything I missed out?

Thanks.

It should, but it doesn't the first time sometimes. Have a read of the post below, which talks about manually starting Jasper. I've found that after starting it manually it starts automatically on reboot after that.

Just to confirm, do this -

cd jasper/client
python ~/jasper/boot/boot.py

from jasper-client.

I was having a lot of issues with the pre-compiled image and for some reason running boot.py as @nicktones mentions is important. I was doing:

cd ~/jasper/boot
python boot.py

That kept overwriting the /etc/network/interface file and causing Jasper to fail to connect to the internets (I could ping google.com just fine before running this command). I hope that helps someone. Thanks nicktones!
