[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello,
When you modprobe speakup_soft, it locks up the whole system--I haven't found a way aroudn that.
Tried making it load on boot etc etc, and it still locks up the system.

set start=0 as a module option then activate the synth once you have sound, 
espeac and espeakup active or whatever you're using.

Tyler,
In my /etc/modules file I have this line:

speakup_soft start=0

Re: bug:softsynth

[Kerry Hoath]

you put it in a file under
/etc/modprobe.d
make a file called localspeakup or similar
a line such as
options speakup_soft start=0

What's happening is you're trying to load the speakup_soft module before the 
sound and espeakup or whatever is set up.

You need the modules loaded but you don't want to activate speakup with 
talkwith speakwith or an echo command until sound, espeakup and speakup are 
all ready to go.
Regards, Kerry.

Yes, if for some reason it doesn't start talking soon enough, it will
run the load level up to the point that the system fails -- by overload,
basically.

If you're having this problem, try setting speakup.synth=none until
after you get logged in, preferably over ssh, and then debug.

When I start with ttsynth, I do it by hand and have a script that puts
'soft' in /sys/modules/speakup/parameters/synth before executing the
speakup connector. It seems espeakup does something similar.
