GRML question

GRML question

[Glenn at home]

Hello all,
I am trying out GRML as a rescue CD, and I was wondering if anyone can tell 
me how to boot up with speech?
I have an external DecTalk synth on a serial port.
Or if it can only run via sound card, how does one get that to load up?
Thanks

Glen,

I made mine boot up like this:

grml speakup_synth=ltlk

Mine talked fine and recognized all my hardware devices fine.

Also, please not that, if one does not type this line quickly enough, 
the system will continue to boot the kernel without speech.

JFYI: The (isolinux) timeout is 30 seconds.

I just implemented a new boot option named 'swspeak' to get software
synthesizer support through speakup's sftsyn, speech-dispatcher and
speechd-up. You have to boot via 'grml swspeak', then type
'speechd-up' and that's it. (grml 0.6 will drop you to a console
directly and won't bring up w3m by default on tty1.)

I do not have the hardware to test speakup support other than the
software synthesizer but I'm doing my very best to bring you a
Linux live-CD with working speakup support.

So if anyone could/would test the speakup support or any of the
other accessibility related packages as brltty, eflite/flite,
emacspeak,.. of development releases you are welcome to join the
grml beta-testers (see http://grml.org/beta-tester/ for more
details) or just drop me a mail. You can reach me also via IRC on
#grml (irc.freenode.org).

HTH && regards,
-mika- - hoping that the mail reaches the mailinglist via news.gmane

To boot grml with dectalk speech, wait about 5 seconds after your CD starts
spinning and then type

grml speakup_synth=dectlk

It worked that way for me, but I had other very serious problems that made it
unusable on my desktop.  It completely frose my USB keyboard, and the screen
went black.  There was simply no way to stop the speech.  It did, however, work
effectively on my laptop using ssh after I brought up the ethernet card manually
with an ifconfig command.  I will probably be emailing the support team to get
this couple of issues worked out.

If you want ssh access, you can start it directly with:
grml ssh=x

The ssh login is grml and the  'x' above is the ssh password.

Yes

grml ssh=x

does start the ssh server, but I had to bring up the ethernet device manually
using

sudo ifconfig eth0 up nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

where nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is the ip address of the grml computer.

Did I miss something somewhere that would have allowed me to set this ip address
before the system booted?

Re: GRML question

[Jim Kutsch]

No, I just take the IP address assigned by the DHCP server in my router. 
OpenWRT can be set up to assign a preset IP address based on the machine's 
MAC address.  Other routers have screens that show the leased addresses.

grml question

[tony seth]

Hello all:  I'm running grml off the cd-rom using software speech, and 
have a question.  I'm using version .09 and when trying to the ls 
command, sometimes the output is spelled 1 letter at a time is there a 
way to stop that?  the other problem I'm having, is I'm using an 9ibm 
thinkpad and cannot use the speakup keys and can't find a cheatcode for 
that.  Any help welcome, it pretty much rocks other then that, I was 
able to play mp3 files off the web using elinks right out of the box.
Thanks much!
Cheereo.

The only way to stop that, is to turn off preemption in the kernel
config, recompile, and remaster the iso. This problem has come up on
here a few weeks ago as well.

Go read the speakup user's guide. If you have a kernel source patched
with speakup, you'll find it in Documentation/speakup/spkguide.txt. I
assume you can also grab this from linux-speakup.org and mirrors, but I
haven't checked on that. You want to read section 3 of that guide,
specifically, towards the bottom of section 3. In a nutshell, you need
to hold down your caps lock key, and you can then use

uio
jkl
m,.

as your speakup review keys. Again, spkguide.txt has more details.

Re: grml question

[Chris Norman]

By launching speechd-up with:
nice -20 speechd-up

That has always sorted it for me.

grml question...

[tony seth]

Hi there:  Just curious about grml and getting keyboard support in X.  
I've tried downloading gnome, which seemed to go well, and I was able 
to get gdm to beep indicating the login screen, but upon logging in got 
no indication that I'd logged in and cannot run anything by using the 
alt-f2 for example to type gdm  and once there hit ctrl-g to verify 
I've got a terminal open...  Any idea what I can do here?  X seems 
configured otherwise.  Any help welcome...
Thanks much!  looking farward to the new release with the spelling 
problem fixed whichever software synth they use...
Cheereo!
