Hi Lena,

Thank you very much for your advice — I’m glad to hear it.

As a follow-up to this, it looks as though Appleton Tower has been occupied by students. There’s no indication of how long it will go on for, but I would be surprised if it wasn’t at least for the duration of the strikes.

I’ve been assigned to the Appleton Tower PPLS studio. I am entirely ready to make my new recordings, but I haven’t yet been able to — after I had problems with the studio computer last Monday, I had intended to make them on the 2nd of March.

If the building is occupied, I imagine I won’t be able to do this. Is there any other way I could make the recordings, or failing that anything I could do instead?

The issue is now resolved. I was almost right: though I had indeed removed line-medial full stops in pre-processing, I had forgotten to do the same with semicolons.

For other students who have this issue in the future, the fix is simple:

sed $’s/;/.\\n/g’ input.txt > output.txt

I am appending my solution to help other students with similar issues.

Both problems — with recognise_test_data and results — were due to a bug in my recognise_test_data script. In trying to incorporate a script file, I had removed the $F at line 30, and had forgotten to reinsert it.

After correcting the typo, both scripts run correctly.

I receive an error in HVite at the same time, but this seems to be the case for all users, not merely problematic ones, and as it also does not seem to affect the running of the program I believe it may be a separate issue.

READY[1]>
ERROR [+6006] InitAudi: Cannot open OSS audio device /dev/dsp
FATAL ERROR – Terminating program HVite

I have confirmed that users kateb and joshua are consistently problematic in the way described above.
