i tried to add add my username to the audio group in VIM . but when i edited that text in VIM i tried to save and exit it using ctrl+X but i cant so i need help guys thanks in advance

You basically have two problems: if you want to use ctrl+x to exit, use nano. I personally like nano better. The other problem is that your microphone is not being recognized by jasper. Try to run cat /proc/asound/cards and paste the output. Don't have my raspberry pi with me so can't remember the details, but there should be an option with a -D when you run jasper after which you can put plughw: and then the number of your sound card followed by a comma and a zero.

vim isn't as plug ugly as nano and it certainly isn't as weird as emacs.
It does suffer from some arcane incantations for commands.

[esc]:wq # write and quit
[esc]:q! # quit without update
get you started.

Hi

I have just set both jasper and voicecommander up. after ages of troubleshooting.

i think, you need to edit a file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf put a # in front of ......options snd-usb-audio index=-2 ie change to # options snd-usb-audio index=-2

then

sudo alsa force-reload

that will put your usb sound card as the default. ( 0,0 ).

If it is a usb ( CMEDIA ) card, there are a few other settings you want to tweek as well. also, check alsamixer has the volume up on the mic to 50%

Hello! Has anyone tried booting Jasper's pre-compiled disk image on the Raspberry Pi Model B+? Well I cannot boot it on my model B+.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Yes did it the other week.

There is some further set up after you load it the first time.

http://jasperproject.github.io/document ... ure-jasper

you can copy and paste that lot once your PI has boot4ed

voicommander is worth a look as well

[idris3396]

Well, I am not talking about post booting stuff! Nothing shows up on my monitor when I am using Model B+ and Jasper's pre-compiled disk image.

It just doesn't start!

Thanks!

maybe you just got a bad image or sd card, try download again

Your image probably does not yet have the firmware for the B+.
You can try to replace the firmware files on the card with current ones. Get bootcode.bin and start.elf from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware ... aster/boot , put the SD card in your PC and copy the 2 files to the card.

Hi i have tried a few times to install jasper onto my raspberry pi b model. im using a windows 8 pc so i write the disk image on using win32disk imager then put it in my pi.
