Hi...
I recently installed Ubuntu on my computer and I'm using Orca screen reader and it's going well but I'd like to try Speakup. Could someone explain where to download Speakup for Ubuntu and how to install it. Does it require compiling? Thank you.
Charlie

Ok well I think you need to patch the kernal and then compile the kernal
again I think.
Do you know that speakup is just for the terminal?
All instructions and the speakup patches can be found at.
linux-speakup.com
BTW How are you finding ubuntu. What problems are there. Are you dual
booting? Is it pretty accessible?
I know this is a little bit off topic for this thread but I am
considering using ubuntu.
Maybe I should try the livecd...

try http://www.linux-speakup.org/
If you want to try Ubuntu the livecd will not kill your computer; grab the
desktop cd,
boot it;
hit control f2 then key in orca.
You'll know it's booted when things quieten down.
Not sure how easy speakup would patch into the newer 2.6.22 kernels that
modern distributions are using; I haven't tried yet.
If you have 2 computers; consider connecting them together with a null-modem
cable and use a serial console. This will allow you to install Redhat,
Debian or Ubuntu yourself then tinker to get software speech functional.
Most electronics stores will sell you a Null modem cable for aprox $10
(Australian) and if your laptop or whatever has no serial ports you can get
a USB to serial adapter to plug serial gear in.
To install Ubuntu do:
Boot the cd, press escape then enter.
escape kills the gui splash screen, ok confirms you want to kill it.
Then type
install console=ttyS0,38400
If you only have one computer but have vmware server; it is possible to
install Linux into a virtual machine yourself with 2 usb to serial adapters
and a null modem cable; or 1 dual port usb-to-serial adapter, I can outline
the process if anyone is interested.
I hear it is possible to install Ubuntu with Orca and the talking installer;
never tried it. I've personally had as much success with Orca as I have had
with Narrator, however I haven't tried extremely hard either.
Regards, Kerry.

It's alt f2, and there's the part of the boot process where you can
start orca when logged in.

Actually I found I had to start it through the boot. Otherwise it just
took me through the orca setup when ever I did alt f2 and rebooted.
To start orca automatically when it logs in do the following when booting:
1. turn on your computer with the disk inserted.
2. Wait until the drive stops spinning.
There is a 30 second timer here. If you don't press anything it will
keep booting. (That's what a quick google reckons)
3. Hit f5. This brings up the accessibility menu.
Press 3 to select screenreader (orca) and enter twice.
Now wait.
BTW Maybe this was my question. Oops oh well hopefully that helps someone.
I got this info from google...

* speakup and slackware 12.0 under VMWare

Hey all,
I was trying to install slackware 12.0 under VMWare using the speakup.s
kernel and ran in to a problem.
I entered speakup.s speakup_synth=ltlk speakup_ser=0 at the prompt and it
started to boot but then all of a sudden it froze.
I don't know what the message that it froze with was but I can probably find
someone to read it to me.
The funny thing is that the default kernel boots just fine with no boot
parameters but the speakup.s kernel freezes when booting even if you don't
use any boot parameters.
If any one has any ideas on what is causing this problem or how to fix it
I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
Nick

I believe, you can do:
`apt-get install kernel-patch kernel-patch-speakup`
and get it.
HTH.
