* Broken Paramaters in Speakup @ Steve Holmes ` Chuck Hallenbeck 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: Steve Holmes @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 With the version of speakup in the 2.6.26-1 kernel, I find that some of the variables or files in /sys/module/speakup/parameters/ won't update properly. 3 examples are the punc-some, punc-most and punc_all variables. What happens is if you cat the values from a saved place such as is done with speakupconf, I get a slew of errors saying "cat: argument invalid" and the targets end up empty so what happens in my case is the punc_most chars get completely whiped out. I also get this error if I try and cat that variable by hand so the script is ok here. Also, when I do a speakupconf save I get the errors I'll show below. I'm using spkout as the synth of choice.

Steve, I hope someone smarter than me can figure that one out. I had to kludge a partial solution like this: 1. forget about the speakupconf save function. Also forget about normal users being able to update the parameters. Limit it to root. 2. Start with an inherited copy of /etc/speakup/ if you are lucky enough to have one, and make any necessary changes to its contents with an editor. 3. run speakupconf load, note which files produce errors, and delete them from /etc/speakup/ The result is that the files that remain in /etc/speakup/ will work okay with speakupconf load, and that's as good as it's going to get. I'm sure there's a better solution, but the above is how I'm surviving until the Cavalry comes.

I figured I would report it here so we can see if it can be fixed or if someone can tell me where to look, I might even take a stab at it. I've never dealt with kernel control variables before. But your solution is a good work-around for the time being. On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 05:39:44PM -0400, Chuck Hallenbeck wrote: > Steve, > > I hope someone smarter than me can figure that one out.

I do appreciate the quick action though. I'm new to Debian and the way kernels are managed there so haven't compiled anything newer than what is offered by current testing image of Lenny.
