RE: Speakup available? (wasRE: patched debian kernels)

Hello.

I'm using Fedora 20 with speech.  I'm thinking of switching distros, and
Debian's one I'm considering.   

Yes, not getting speech seems strange.  I had the same trouble a few months
ago.  On my old machine, I did get Speakup when doing the right thing at the
prompt.  I do get Speakup when booting up the Arch CD.

Hi,
Have you got any linux distro working on this system with speech before?
This is rather strange that your Debian 7.X net installation doesn't kick in
after pressing the letter S and enter unless your sound card is not
recognized.
You need to wait for a beep sound to press letter s though.
Hth,
Pawel.

I think I tried control-s and it didn't work.  I believe that's for bringing
up Orca on some distros.

Is it control + S?

First, thanks to John for the kernel patch.  Whether I get to use it or not,
I do appreciate it.

Second, I tried this week to use both the Debian live CD (7.2, I think) and
the 32-64-bit install CD, 7.3 if I remember right.  As I understand the
installation guide, I should be able to get speakup, at least on the latter,
by typing the letter s at the boot prompt and hitting ENTER.  It didn't
work.  I tried arrowing to the right option, but that also failed.  I tried
lower and upper case.  I tried with both the live CD and the net-installer
one.

Also, when I allowed the live CD to boot up, I could not get Orca -- at
least, I didn't hear it.  I could reboot or shut down after going to a
console terminal, so I figure the CD is probably working right, but without
speech there didn't seem to be much else useful I could do.

Can anybody tell me what might be going wrong, or what I might be doing
wrong?  If it's a case of muted sound, how would I fix that?  (The usual
amixer command that I use to raise the volume did nothing.) I've so far
found no help with this through Google searches, even though I know there
has been some correspondence about Weezy and Speakup.

I'm using a 64-bit machine.

Thanks for any guidance.

Al

All,

I've uploaded some patched debian kernels to the IAVIT web site.These
kernels include my fix for the speakup serial hardware speech bug.  For
instructions, point a browser to http://www.iavit.org/~john/debian/.
