meta-generating error
March 28, 2024, 20:53
Hi, Sorry for the trouble, but I would highly appreciate if you could resolve this issue. So it all started when I just set up my raspi, and I also had a camera module, so I tried to test it using this repo: https://github.com/washieuanan/Raspberry-Pi-Emotion-Recognition. However, after the kind help of one of the mods, we seemed to be getting this issue: "metadata-generation-failed", we tried a reboot and everything but it still won't work. This was after using a venv because, when we ran the command pip install -r requirements.txt, we got the following error:. I would really appreciate help because this is urgent. Thanks!!
Could you show me that scrolled up pic again actually?
which one
1 or 2
Both
here you go
No not that
should i send a vid?
just scrolling?
Same pic?
Although bad picture it's useful
i think so
Actually could you copy and paste in the entire error for me?
sure
I still think
You need to do sudo
But idrc what you guys are talking about
i think i need to do the command again
im sorry give me a sec
Ohh that might help
Yea
Ofc it does
what is sudo ahha?
Wouldn't that put it out the venv tho?
Same command
Just add "sudo"
At the beginning
Sudo means substitute user. It uses root for your command so you have ultimate power
ok
Yk how pi is your user? Root is another user, the ultimate user capable of everything - it's a security thing.
ahh i see
Fricking god
which command?
What?
The pip
sorry if im a bit slow, im new
The pip install ....
What's wrong tho?
It said
Externally managed environment
Wich means
Venv is open tho
It's not local on his user installed
Idk
Try it
With sudo
sorry which command?
do i put after sudo
The original one
this? python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
or the requirements one
The pip install -r requirements.txt
ok
Installed?
Oh sorry autocorrect
Yea
I thought that
Love dat horrible autocorrect
oh ok
i do install
Yea sorry about that
Yea
np man
here you go jan
Thought that might happen
Oh
We can try logging in to root and then trying venv
And then we don't need anymore sudo
ok sure
One second I forgot how to actually do so
sudo -i if I remember correctly
ok
But let me double check that one
sure
Ah so close
sudo -s
ok ill try
Oh wait nvm I was right I think
One sites saying -s the others saying -i
oh ok
the one u just sent doesn't really do anything
<@1071178789939331253> how to get mod(fast)
ill try the one with i
No fast option
solve my issue jkjk
Jkjk
I was joking mate
Does sudo -i do it? It should replace raspberrypi with root
Nah that actually is how to get mod
Just get mod by helping people and earning respect from the current mods.
But it takes time
We don't add easily
Oh
Yup
I was right, Im so happy I remembered rn
Lol
YOO ur soo sick
lets go
did it work?
Anyway do the venv command
sure
Yes
Lol
Where's the difference between sudo su?
I'm curious now
Su you have to use password
Oh
Ok
Wed have to set it
It's weird we'd have to set password from outside of root and then use it to get in
oh
Wha
The
Root is gone
Ohh I know
And you need to copy the file
Oh yeah lol
yooo ur too sick
ur like a genius
or smth
Nah
Lol
It work?
No comment
Or you just said that randomly? 😂
nah it didn't
i just said it
cuz u said u knew
what to do
lol
I said that but ok
Lmfao
Yeah
Nah I'm better than u anyway
Yea ik
Wanna meet on a parking lot?
No weapons
Anyway for whatever reason you logged out of root
wait so what do i do now
/knfies
oh
Lol
lemme run the sudo command again then
Yea
You open a new terminal or something?
yh
That'd be it then
The way we logged into root doesn't stay between terminals
just says same error
Yeah
For a good reason
oh
ur too sickk
Because we just changed users we don't have that file copied over
i see
Nah stop flattering me 😂
lol
Uh what file destination would it be in again..
btw the deadline for this is 11:15 gmt lol
One second I'll be right back
sure
But they wont enforce you do it be exactly then right?
they would
my teachers suck
and if i don't do it im finished lol
its before 11:30PM max
Okay found it
ok
Should be cd /../home/pi
ill run it
Great
No run ls
ok
Great
Cd into the repository dir again
sure
cd [repository dir]
yo u still there lol
wait no take ur time
ill let u cook
Sorry I had to do something
Nice now start up your venv
nah its all good
ok
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
this right?
Yes
its processing
mb for the title
<@661583386992836619> whilst your here watching from above, you have an opinion?
oh no
about what
This
sorry for the name haha
And how to solve
im finished 😭
Hmm seems root did not fix
sorry, i dont work with python so no idea
Done?
That's fine
yh the command is done
I still have another idea
YOOO
UR TOO SICK
lemme hear it
I mean are you done?
no no
im fullt determined
to use ur genius
We find the individual module that's causing the issue and we can install it individually and work from there
sure
Also run that current pip install command but change it to pip3
ok
That probs won't work
it wont let me copy and paste on this terminal
should i open a new one?
Preferably not
ok
ill try again on the other one
Wait
Select all of the command on this and use right click to copy
Then you can use right click to paste in the other one
oh shit
it doing smth
its like processing smth
It always did that didn't it?
nah the new terminal didnt
damn
Yeah that's because it isn't in a venv or in the repository
oh okay
Yeah thought so
any other ideas?
Did you copy and paste the entire error in before?
which one
Yeah we still got one last glimmer of hope
I mean error
The entire error
Paste it in
error: metadata-generation-failed
× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
That's not all of it
just comes like this
from where
do u want me to paste it
I mean show me all of it from where you entered the command to the end
Here or if it's too long use pastebin
okay sure
sry took a while to find the command
So it's numpy then
Stupid numpy, always a numpty 😂
Run pip3 install numpy now
YOO ur too sickkk
Did that work? Don't get your hopes up before failure
its installng now
sure
I can't guarantee success at any point
mhm
numpy just installed
Nice
Now try the requirements.txt pip install
okay
do i do pip 3
or normal
Pip3 because why not
sure
its installing
i think its working
nvm lol
should i send the whole error again
It hates us
fr
Nah ur fine
One second
sure
im sorry if this is taking up your time btw
Did you guys asked chat gpt before?
Nah it's no problem I enjoy this
No try it
great 🙂
I'm too lazy
i have no clue what to say to chatgpt, but if you could i would immensely appreciate it ^^
damn
alr
its fine
Just paste the error and look what happenes
Run python3 photoDriver.py --output [output_folder_name] now
ok
I'm gonna try another better AI service one second
Ok chill
thanks man ^^
I am
no the ^^ means like a happy face
The goat is goating rn
frfr
Oh we can play a game of chat and mouse then
should i paste error?
Basically run it each time and when it says no module named "so and so" well just pip install it
sure
makes sense
So pip install PIL
ok
Nice and easy game of cat and mouse
nah L raspi
it hates me i think
Well
Idk
At this point
nw
One second
yh for sure
https://pypi.org/project/PIL/#content PIL exists so I don't know why it's lying
is this how to install it?
the dude had the same error
It seems like you python version ain't compatible with pil or some shit
oh
idk what to do atp
But I really don't know
Cry
That's what I'd do
Jkjk
haha yh
Ask goat
nah I almost cried today because of this
what i shame i am
i will never do that again because of goat
I cried multiple times already cause of errors
Nw
tyty
https://phind.com says pip3 install --upgrade Cython
I'm fr bro
Crying is the first troubleshooting step.
Hm
fr haha
ill try the command now
Did you ever cry cause of an error? <@1071178789939331253>
it sucessfully installed
I've tried many times because of my pi and I'm not even lying, but that only makes success 10x better
r u guys uni students?
No
I'm 16
Remind me, did numpy install correctly before when we did pip3 install numpy
Lol
I'm 14 lol
WTF
im 16
asw
Nice
Another young one

i think so
Try it again now anyway

i think pillow is pil
btw
Well
It could be
That
Yeah try pip install pillow
ok
Some version ain't compatible with your python version I believe
sucessfully installled
We need to do a upgrade or downgrade?
Then try the other command with the cat and mouse chase
ok
Idk is there a tutorial for this
You are following
I know how to do it but which way should we go?
I say upgrade
We could track down the python version he's using on when the tutorial got released
imutils
Were getting somewhere
nice
the cat and mouse chase begins!
May take a while but just keep following it
hopefully done in one hour lol
sure
So pip install imutils
Nah it's just repetitive, the task it's self won't take that long but it sure is boring
it installed let me run command again
Uh
How do we do that
this may help
Try sudo apt-get install libopenblas-dev
ok
it says y/n
should i say y
Yes
yh its finished
One second
ok
This confusleing
oh
One second more
ill try pip install -r requirements.txt one more time
oh no the connectoin closed remotel
ok it connected again
Run pwd
ok
Which is not in the numpy source dir
Hi i thin i just downgrade
What?
how do i downgrade to 3.10.9
Why?
i saw another thing and it said it worked
if they downgraded
We can try it
okay how do i do it
First may you try just uninstalling and reinstall numpy?
pip uninstall numpy
pip install numpy
sudo apt install numpy try that
ok
Then if it doesn't work in the activation command we try messing with python versions
here
u still there?
Ok works well enough
Now run activation command
whats that sorry
im just tryna do this rn
python -m pip install sentence_transformers
im doing this
python3 photoDriver.py --output [output_folder_name]
ok
Then when that inevitably fails run just python and show me
So I can see current python version
it says no module named cv2
should i pip install it
yes that's more progress
installing opencv
now
Great
it still doesn't work
should i just pip install these

Start with oauthlib

Then continue on past that
Nothing before numpy since that's already done
oh so i just put oauthlib and then put the library?
im confused sorry
give me 10 mins ill just install all of these
what?
no i mean do pip install authlib first
ok
oauthlib or authlib
ohh
i see what you mean now
okay thanks
sry if its taking a while i am on termcolor now
np
ok
i installed all of them.
im gonna try the command now
damn it comes up with the no module named cv2 error again
hmm
one second a lot of ppl want me rn, let me sort them out real quick
sure
ok
is pip install cv2 succesfull?
nah
no module found?
yeah
run pip install opencv
i tried that already i think
i just tried pip install --upgrade opencv-python
i'll see if it works
yh it comes up with the same error
"subprocess-exited-with-error"
can i have the full error?
sure
scroll up a bit
here
little more
sure one sec
im gonna try ask chatgpt

out of all the errors these are the ones you dont wanna get
i see
okay yeah
