Fenrir errors

I've attached the errors I get when I try to run Fenrir without installing it.
All dependencies are installed and I hear no sound or speech. Does
this file suggest why?

Re: Fenrir errors

Howdy,

the first issue i see in your output is that the provided sox version 
does not support opus.

<qoute>
play FAIL formats: no handler for file extension `opus'
</qoute>

so you have 2 possible solutions here:
1. use the gstreamer sound driver
   1.1 open config/settings.conf
   1.2 search for section [sound]
   1.3 search for:driver=genericDriver
   1.4 change it to driver=gstreamerDriver
       this requires gstreamer installed
2. use the default-wav soundicon theme
   2.1 open config/settings.conf
   2.2 search for section [sound]
   2.3 search for:theme=default
   2.4 change it to theme=default-wav
3. install a more current "sox" version.

i dont see any other problems on that quick output. so byside this i 
assume it works but pulseaudio is not configured correct (see below):
To create an complete debug output do the following:
sudo rm /var/log/fenrir.log
cd /path/to/git/src/fenrir
sudo ./fenrir -d
ctrl + c
send me the file /var/log/fenrir.log per mail to chrys at linux-a11y dot de

if you don't hear sound or speech: you are using pulseaudio:
then you have 2 possible solutions
1. run pulse in system wide mode (not recommentet)
1.1 
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/SystemWide/
2. stream "root" sound to user (recommentet):
2.1 run "tools/configure_pulse.sh"
2.2 run "sudo tools/configure_pulse.sh"
in any case if you running speech-dispatcher with pulse:
you need to run "sudo spd-conf" and select pulse as output module.
restart
then it works

if you are using also no configuration should needed since alsa does not 
sepearte different users like pulse does.

Re: Fenrir errors

I was thinking, wouldn't a live phone conference be a faster way for many of us 
to get these issues resolved? I would suggest a phone bridge instead of 
something like Skype, as many of us would need our sound cards for speech. 
Thanks in advance

Fenrir Wiki updated

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Howdy,

i updated the fenrir user wiki to hopfully be more useful for 
troubleshooting. i hope this helps

https://wiki.linux-a11y.org/doku.php?id=fenrir_user_manual#troubleshooting
corrections are always welcome since i have a really bad english lol but 
i try to do my best.

Re: Fenrir Wiki updated

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Running spd-conf messed up my speech.
I listen to speech very fast. It slowed it down! I find a system with
slow speech to be barely useable.

I had sped it up by modifying the max speed setting in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/moldules/espeak.conf

That modified file is still there, but speech is still slow. Please
help! My thoughts are wandering between syllables.

Re: Fenrir Wiki updated

[Linux for blind general discussion]

Howdy,

i wonder what kind of screen reader are you using currently?
just to know why are you affect this. orca should not be affected.

what is needed to use fenrir is that speech-dispatcher is streaming to 
pulse insteed of alsa. that why spd-conf for root is needed.
you can always revert all kind of missconfiguration by delete the folder 
in home ".config/speech-dispatcher/" in /root (for root) and in 
/home/user/ for your user.

what screenreader are you using currently? orca should not affect by 
changes here since it is overwriting stuff by its own settings (like 
fenrir does).
cheers chrys

Which folder do I delete?

/home/user/ doesn't exist. Which folder do I remove here?
