recently I was reading a blog post about
how my craft AI is available as a KD
widget and before yeah this sounds
really good I'll take a look at it and a
fantastic video about it and
unfortunately I spent quite a few hours
trying to get it going and failed but I
think I was actually really close so in
this video I'm going to show you what
I've done and if by some miracle it
works here great if it doesn't swell
we've got our starting point and you can
see maybe it will work
the my craft is an open source
artificial intelligence and you can
either buy the devices which is
something Lots featured there or you can
build rm4 Raspberry Pi or just get it
for any desktop that little image of it
and what do we have a three minute video
which I don't really want to go through
entirely is so talking to the Minecraft
nothing
thanks for the kernel update reminder
that looks quite an interesting concept
so you have an open-source equivalent to
Google now theory or Alexa but without
all the tricking there's some
instructions here about how to build the
Mycroft plasmoid into KDE so you need
Katie plasma 5.9 desktop or later you
can find out which version of running by
opening the K info center and for me I
have KDE plasma at five point seven
point four there might be something
about the cute versions as well so you
have got five point nine point one I
think for Kubuntu the limitation is that
you need the absolute latest version
that's 1704 at time of recording but it
will work in Katy neon the description
can run and there's also a similar
script for fedora I'll leave a link to
this page in the video description W
gets that script as then simply run it
but it takes absolutely ages and it will
ask for your sudo password three times
okay we have the warning here that it
does take a long time
so building room 16 cause okay well
apparently it's using most of my
processor there so it's got a bit
erratic now okay that wasn't too bad in
the end because I managed to get the
video editing done while I was waiting
for the programs compiled and you can
see after machine reboots you will need
to activate it by adding the widgets
then pressing the play button and say
hey Mycroft what time is it
upon reboots we can now add the widget
so right click add widget just do a
search Mycroft plasmoid double click
close then click on it so let's continue
awful that was just a VirtualBox issue
and it wouldn't render that part but no
apparently on the real system does the
same well the way you get it started is
toggle a switch here chocolate and you
wait and see what happens
Mycroft is disabled and the connection
errors happened I'll try and toggle it a
couple of times but otherwise we have
some instructions here on how to get it
going and they shall mean written quite
correctly so we will have to do some
alterations here so sudo your favorite
text editor slash user share plasma
plasmoid or KDE plasma Mycroft plasmoid
/contents slash code start service SH
and replace the light dot slash Mycroft
SH start alright remove the two
ampersands from the github bug page and
that should be it there you just check
the final line they also talked about
Shema doing 777 /opt slash Mycroft slash
skills where that folder will not exist
by default as far as I could tell from
some debug logs it doesn't necessarily
need that folder don't anyway control X
Y enter then reboot or log out and log
back in now stride n so enable it my
craft is disabled
and apparently this is in worse
condition than before art mogul it
Mycroft is ready and I heard a little
noise hey Mycroft
hey Mycroft what is the time oh my god
something's actually working here well I
can't believe it here folks but it
actually has registered now at long last
um so I had to toggle the on/off a
couple more times and it suddenly came
up with registration code and which
point I just went online added a device
and now it's working so it gives you
some example phrases here so do
hey minecraft how long is a marathon now
it's now I'm not working is it but it's
got the phrase right here so you can see
it has worked a couple of times because
it told me the time and then told me the
weather in Cardiff
you can add some additional skills to it
so this having a glance three days but
each one of these you add adds know a
folder into your home folder is a little
bit messy really they do have an
individual phrase that has triggers them
so yeah I guess could be useful
take a look thrown you fancy really we
were disabled and reenable it a couple
of times to see what happens okay hey my
craft what time is it
got it we have an actual demonstration
on video now of it working hey my craft
how long it's a marathon funny it gives
it an example phrase hey Mycroft play
the news hey my craft play the news here
is this hours news from in get button
always all about here
hey Mycroft open Firefox
classy what else could be open on it
let's let's try not another application
hey Mycroft open Kate yeah hey Mycroft
open Kate
oh look II can't catch one sign really
can it sound it now so I'm kind of
surprises of working and what I thought
was going to be a failed video is now
actually kind of a success I don't think
it's working properly up or it might
better speak back but maybe that's
something on the module of not enabled
here or a commands I've not enabled
correctly on that to start the HR
scripts
I'm not sure I want to keep up my system
really this is just kind of an
experiment let's try my cost out see
what it's like and yeah here we are I'm
going to kind of carry on working the
old-fashioned way when I use Google now
it tends to be because I'm too lazy to
actually type something but more often
or not yeah I'll just do it the
old-fashioned way thanks for watching
I'll see you later
you
