speakupconf load and save not working

speakupconf load and save not working

[Storm Dragon]

Hi,
I think maybe permissions got changed in one of the later kernels or something. Speakupconf load and save no longer work as expected. when doing speakup conf load, lines 79 and 93 (I think) say too man arguments. In the .speakup directory there are no files like there used to be.
I tried a chmod -R 666 /sys/accessibility/speakup
but that didn't help. Is there an easy fix for this?
thanks
Storm

Hello!
Sorry for not replying to this sooner.  I don't really use speakupconf,
but I have worked on the code.
What distro are you using, and what is /bin/sh there?
I believe that the current version of speakupconf may have a couple of
bashisms.  These either need to be fixed, or speakupconf needs to use
bash explicitly.  For a quick fix, try changing the first line of the
script to
#!/bin/bash
and tell me if that fixes it for you.

Hi,
Yes, changing it to bash fixed the issue. I'm using Arch.
Thanks :)

Hi,
Looks like I replied too soon. I had one person tell me it fixed the issues, but someone else says it didn't. I am using the lts kernel myself and it works here, but when I made a vm with the latest kernel I get the errors with line 79 and 93 as well.
It seems to be that the script doesn't have permission to read the files it wants to copy.
Thanks

The great thing about Object Oriented code is that it can make small, simple problems look like large, complex ones.

Oh that's right, they changed the permissions on the Speakup files, so
only root can write them.
This is the kind of thing that would have to be fixed within the Arch
Linux package.  So maybe file a bug against their speakup-utils package, asking
if someone could create a speakupconf group and add udev rules to allow
those /sys files to be written by members of that group.
As it stands, they're only writable by root.
