* Problem with Fedora9 and Speakup @ Daniel C ` Kirk Reiser 0 siblings, 1 reply; 21+ messages in thread From: Daniel C @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: 'Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.' Hi all, I installed fedora 9, but when I reboot, after disabling firstboot, speakup doesn't come up at all. I am able to get into a console and tried typing the follwoing 2 commands both with the same results: echo bns >/proc/speakup/synth_name echo bns >/proc/speakup/synth.name Both things say that >/proc/speakup/synth_name and >/proc/speakup/synth.name Don't exist. What happened to updated documentation Janina? And why isn't speakup speeking? There was nowhere to specify the speakup synth except when the DVD was at the install prompt. Now I'll have to reinstall Fedora 7, with customers I host having to wait a fulll 24 hours all because of old documentation for Fedora7 and not 9. I'd like some type of explanation as to why bash can't find proc/speakup/synth_name and proc/speakup/synth.name. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide, if any.

Unfortunately, most developers don't like writing documentation and there is always so much work which needs to be done they hide behind doing the work instead of writing the docs. I certainly include myself in that category. > how're users suppose to install without updated documentation? You explain > that one, Kerk. I agree that having current documentation is very nice but as I said in my previous message the git logs contain everything that has passed which also includes how operational changes have changed. I guess my problem is not with you wishing for current docs but with the way you said it. If you were paying a ridiculous amount of money like with Window Eyes or JAWS I could see you bitching and you'd be absolutely right. What you pay for here is being able to do what you want with the product including writing documentation so others won't have the same problem as you. -- Kirk Reiser The Computer Braille Facility e-mail: kirk@braille.uwo.ca University of Western Ontario phone: (519) 661-3061 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 21+ messages in thread

I was under the impression that the updating of documentation was Jennina's job. I was only just writing to see why speakup doesn't, as it once did with FC7, come up at boot time anymore. My apologies for being so moody and bitchy, was uncalled for .. So sorry Kerk, and whomever else. Suppose at the time of my writing I didn't have my coffie; I tend to get moody and what not when coffie isn't available. I've been working at this since 6 A.M., so I suppose coffie is a serious need now. There's no way that speakup can come up at boot time? Or will I, from what I see via the speakupmodified.org site, have to disable the Pulse audio plugin via yum first then speakup should run a tboot? Or did I miss something during my tyrade?

My name is Eric. I am not a regular on this list, rather I am a new user. I know that documentation is important, and I can sure say that when I feel good enough as a user, I will write docs! I sure appreciate those who make Linux a good alternative to Micro not so soft. I know that things will slip through as well, cash generates documents since people have positions at companies for that vary purpose! Now, Daniel that is quite enough! Linux sure is not purfect, perfect people did did not write it, I don't know how we would get an OS that was perfect! I see many more fixes and updates for Linux than I do for those windows users. I am still a windows user, but not because it was my choice. I am slowly starting my switch to linux, and I must still use win blows for scanning and reading printed info. does documentation that has chunks missing hurt the new user? You can sure bet as I am a new user it would make me wonder. If it will help, I will use my sloppy writing skill and document my fedora 9 install. thoughts from a new user who doesn't clog the list.

Well, in the case of the Speakup Modified Installation HOWTO, we're pretty open. 1.) Patch files to the existing html document would be grand. Of course we do reserve all editorial rights. 2.) If that's daunting, a simple email with suggested revised text is also welcome. 3.) Last, but certainly not least, pointers to our errors with suggested corrections are also appreciated. Please note that it will take much longer to incorporate anything we get via #3 than good copy received via #1. Basically, the less you ask me to do, the quicker it can get done. Lastly, let me note that I keep a email folder of suggestions people make and review those suggestions whenever I create a new HOWTO revision. As noted in the HOWTO, it is indeed the product of many such suggestions. Now, if none of this is what you want to do--hey, anybody can go publish their own docs, right?

OK, Daniel. This is your second diatribe on this topic. So, allow me to point out that you didn't follow instructions. Yes, even the old HOWTO tells you what to do when you run into trouble. It's right at the top of the doc. So, why didn't you follow directions?
