Hello Hermann,

could you please send me the logfile with the crash? You will first need
to set LogLevel to 5 in /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf . Are you
sure it is a crash of SD and not SpeechD-Up? Is the process
speech-dispatcher still running after that?

Have a nice day,
Hynek

Hello Hynek,
Speech-dispatcher indeed is the one that crashs. 
ps aux |grep speech-dispatcher
shows that it has gone.
I changed the loglevel, all I cando is wait whether the crash ocurs again, 
it did not since the last one on Thursday or Friday.

As I wrote before the problem is that latest libspeechd is not
installed.

No, it cannot be. There is some misundarstanding. From what Hermann
says, he has installed the newest libspeechd. Libspeechd cannot cause
crashes of Speech Dispatcher itself because Speech Dispatcher as the
server doesn´t use it.

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

Hello Hynek,
No, I couldn't install the latest libspeechd, obtained from freebsoft, 
because it requires libc6 >=2.6.
dpkg refuses to configure the package, and apt-get recommends to perform
apt-get -f install
to restore the old system.
But in fact it does not restore. It deinstalls all packages related to SD, 
so that I've to reinstall the whole Sd system, included libraries.
So I decided to build SD from the source.
I've libspeechd2 and libspeech-dev installed, but I think they came with SD 
0.6.1.

Yes, but you said you downloaded the .tar.gz release and installed it?
This installs libspeechd too. Can you please run ls -l libspeechd* in
/usr/lib/ and /usr/local/lib and send the full report so that we can be
sure?

It is necessary to install libspeechd to get the latest fix for the
speechd-up crashes. Libspeechd has however nothing to do with Speech
Dispatcher crashes. In this regard, the only sensible question is to ask
whether you are sure you are running the latest speech dispatcher?

Have a nice day,
Hynek

Hello Hynek,
there are indeed some new files in /usr/lib. See attachment.
/usr/local/lib doesn't contain such files, because I configured SD with 
--prefix=/usr.
I installed the very latest source from freebsoft.

Yes, it looks like you are running the newest version of libspeechd
2.0.4.

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

Hello,
I don't know if this is known about and whether it is part of the
problem with occasional crashes of speech-dispatcher, but I have found
once speech-dispatcher was crashing on me fairly soon after the initial
start (seemed to be the initial start after booting only, not when it
was started again after that first crash), and when I turned debugging
in speechd.conf to 5 and viewed the log file, it seemed to be that the
espeak generic module had returned wrong number of bytes (unfortunately
I had not set debugging in espeak-generic.conf). That was using
speech-dispatcher 0.6.1, and I haven't noticed this since moving to
0.6.2, was this problem solved, or could it still be a potential
problem? I ask this as (typically) when I set debugging on (using
0.6.1), it took some time before I actually got a crash.

Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

[hanke]

Hello,

we have fixed some bugs in Speech Dispatcher which might have caused
Speech Dispatcher and SpeechD-Up crashing often under some circumstances.
For those who have experienced these problems, could you please test
and
verify that these problems were fixed in the current CVS version? We've
also created .tar.gz and .deb packages for easier installation:

Tarball:
http://www.freebsoft.org/~hanke/speech-dispatcher-beta/speech-dispatcher-0.6.3test2.tar.gz

Debian:
http://www.freebsoft.org/pub/projects/speechd/snapshot-debian/
(version 0.6.2.99.test2)

For proper testing, it is important to intall both Speech Dispatcher
and
libspeechd.

Thank you,
Hynek Hanke

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

[Hermann]

Hello Hynek,
I've experienced that SD crashes, and wanted to install your packages.
However: My system asks for libc6 >=2.6 that I cannot get via apt-get.
Where can I find this library and are all dependency problems resolved then?
I use Ubuntu Feisty, SD 0.6.2-3 and the same version of python-speech.
Any tips?
Hermann

Hello Hermann,

the Debian maintainer says the package doesn't depend on libc6 >= 2.6
. 2.5 is enough. What you experience is most likely some problem with
trying to use a debian package on Ubuntu. Could you please post the
exact message you get from your system? Maybe somebody from Ubuntu could
answer.

Have a nice day,
Hynek Hanke

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

[hermann]

Hello Hynek,
unfortunately I didn't save the messages, and yesterday evening I
installed the souce-code of SD successfully - I hope so.
Reproducing the install screws up my system, because SD and dependent
packages were not configured and have to be uninstalled and completely
reianstalled, including your source file. So please understand that I
want do this without real need.
The error messages came from dpkg saying that libspeech cannot be
installed due to dependency problems - too old libc6.
Note: I can't predict if this is all, since dpkg tends to present erro
messages step by step. That means, if you solved one dependency issue,
it can come up with another one etc. I experienced this sometimes.
I hope that the information points the Ubuntu people to the right
direction. In the meantime we should recommend Ubuntu users to install
the source file of SD.
Hermann

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

Hi,
sorry to say that I experienced a crash of SD again. It doesn't happen very 
often - every 2 or 3 days - but it still does happen.
/var/log/speech-dispatcher/speech-dispatcher.log
only tells that the connection was closed.

Do you installed new libspeechd too?

Re: Speech Dispatcher bugfixes, request for help with testing

Hi Jan,
as I wrote in an earlier mail, I cannot install libspeech, because I get 
a dependency problem. Libspeech asks for libc6 >=2.6 that is not 
available over the Ubuntu servers. So I compiled SD from the tarball.

The libspeechd is the key component where was some problems and that it
probably the reason of your SD crash.

OK, then we must solve that libc6 issue.
