snips-skill stopping or not auto starting

[ptc]

I noticed that from time to time, snips-skill-respeaker stops working (no led feedback) or won't autostart after reboot and I have to sudo systemctl restart snips-skill-server to get it up again.

Hello,

If you can reproduce the issue, you can run the command:

sudo systemtl status snips-skills-server

to retrieve the fail log.

it's easier for me to see the crash reason.

Hello: Could you please try to manually run sodo systemctl restart snips-* ? This is the command that sam use to restart all the snips services.

It works then but only until I reboot or it stops working again. Don't know what's going on. Sometimes I can see using sam watch that snips is listening bit led won't flash. Snips got pretty unstable after the last major update.

Hello,

The snips-skill-respeaker is managed and run by snips-skill-server, it stops working after sam update assistant could be caused by skill server is not properly restarted.

SAM will use command

sudo systemctl restart snips-*

to restart all the snips services.

But the problem is that this command can be blocked by some error sometimes.

If you can try to restart the snips-skill-server manually when the led is not working, then it should be restored. We will try to fix this issue from sam side.

[ptc]

yes whenenver I restart snips-skill-server, it works again. but unfortunately I have to do it evertime I reboot my snips devices.

[ptc]

well sometimes it even won't work after I restart skill server.

When it's not working, you can run command:

journalctl -u snips-skill-server -f

This can print the realtime log output of skill server. Let me know the output.

So it says it started but LED is not working although snips does what he's asked for.
