Speakup and Arch Linux

Speakup and Arch Linux

[Øyvind Lode]

Hi all.

I have installed Arch again on a test VM and I consider using Arch again on my servers and firewalls/routers.

A lot have changed in Arch Linux indeed.

Like moving to system for instance.

I got Arch up and running with speech (software speech) but I can't figure out how the Speakup modules are loaded.

Prior to systemd and Speakup in staging I had to load the modules manually in rc.d.conf.

How is this managed now?

Will Speakup modules be loaded when using the official images as well?

Thanks

- Øyvind

Hi Do the following
Create a file in /etc/modules-load.d called speakup.conf
There specify the modules to load
speakup
speakup_soft
Save and reboot.

You missed the point.
I have Arch working with speech but I want to know how it is set up.
I installed using the Talking Arch image and Arch booted up talking but I never touched any configuration of Speakup modules.

I installed the base system + alsa-utils + espeakup and saved the state of the soundcard as outlined in the installation guide.
Rebooted and Speakup came up talking.

I can't find any reference to Speakup in /etc but the modules are loaded:

arch ~# grep -r 'speakup' /etc/
arch ~# lsmod | grep speakup
speakup_soft            3466  1
speakup                71012  1 speakup_soft
arch ~#

Please explain :)

Look at /usr/lib/modules-load.d/.  I believe the filename is
speakup.conf.  That file is distributed with the espeakup package now,
so if you install espeakup, the modules will be loaded automatically
whenever the system is booted.
