Which version of the SDK do you have? You can find out by running pip freeze. – Daedal

Can you file an issue on the GitHub page: github.com/googlesamples/assistant-sdk-python/issues? – Daedal

I am having the same problem and have tried all suggestions (enabled assistant api for the project, used googlesamples-assistant-devicetool to remove and register my devices.) I believe that the devicetool is working because I could register a new device or delete an existing device and see the changes on the device registration page. I tried googlesamples-assistant-hotword and google-assistant-demo and both are giving me Segmentation Fault without further information. – Perutz

Also, according to the doc, When you run the sample the first time, it will generate a device instance for your particular device. But after I ran googlesamples-assistant-hotword and then used googlesamples-assistant-devicetool --project-id my-prj-id list --device, there was no device instance created. I manually created one but still got the seg fault. – Perutz

Answer 1

I had the same issue.

I carried on reading the page : https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/embed/run-sample under the heading "Find the device instance ID" it seems my device was not registered.

So I manually registered the device from the pi with the help page here: https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/reference/device-registration/device-tool#register-device.

(env) pi@raspberrypi:~ $  googlesamples-assistant-devicetool --project-id YOUR_DEVICE_ID register-device --device 4D609xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --model YOUR_MODEL_ID --client-type SERVICE
Creating new device
Error: Failed to register device: 403
Google Assistant API has not been used in project 5739xxxxxxxx before or it is disabled. Enable it by visiting https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/embeddedassistant.googleapis.com/overview?project=5739xxxxxxxx then retry. If you enabled this API recently, wait a few minutes for the action to propagate to our systems and retry.

So I followed the link and enabled the API under my google account, and retried.

(env) pi@raspberrypi:~ $ googlesamples-assistant-devicetool --project-id YOUR-PROJECT-ID register-device --device 4D60xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --model YOUR_MODEL_ID --client-type SERVICE

Creating new device

Device instance 4D60xxxxxxxxx successfully registered

Now it works ok.

Thanks. I had the same problem and found out my model_ID was incorrect. Through the process above its easier to uncover the problem – Ormandy

Did it, still having same issue – Gaylenegayler

Answer 2

I was facing the same issue. After a lot of research, I found that there was a new version of google-assistant-library

Once I upgraded the same to v1.0.1 from 1.0.0, the issue was resolved.

Open your env and run

python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-library==1.0.1

Let me know if any issues.

Answer 3

I face same problem for Ubuntu assistant setup, I found my google assistant api was not enabled. I enable it from api console and it started working.

Answer 4

I was facing the same issue in RPi4. Finally the problem was fixed by newer version of the google-assistant library, 1.1.0 instead of 1.0.1 version:

python -m pip install --upgrade google-assistant-library==1.1.0
