ubuntu 12.10 / 13.04 and speakup

[Dietmar Segbert]

Hello List,

i have a new subnotebook from lenovo, a thinkpad edge e130. On this  
subnotebook is windows 8 installed. I must change the partitions on the  
harddisk to install a second windows 7 and for all a linux system with  
speakup and brltty.
In the moment i use a debian squeeze on a Asus eePC 1005H.
I must use a 64bit linux, because the thinkpad edge has a uefi bios and  
windows 8 will use secure boot.

My question is:

Can i use textconsoles with speakup under ubuntu 12.10 or 13.04 or shall i  
use a debian wheezy with speakup?

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Dietmar

Why not run windows7 and whatever gnu/linux flavor you want as a
virtual machine under virtualbox? This has been suggested before by
myself and others here, and would save you the trouble of
repartitioning, rebooting, and other issues. 

As for your question, I don't think speakup is back in ubuntu yet,
though I could be wrong. So as far as using the CLI, I think your options
would be to use gnome-terminal under orca, build speakup yourself, or
use one of the other user space screen readers like yasr for example.

Debian definitely works; I don't know about Ubuntu as I'm not an Ubuntu user.
If you have other reasons to run Ubuntu then I would suggest investigating
this further; otherwise you could just perform a Debian installation. You'll
have to search the Web for details of how to install under UEFI.

Hello,

thanks for your answers.
It is a good idea to start with virtualbox to test debian wheezy and  
windows 7.

I will look, how to install debian into a virtualbox.

Dietmar

Hi,

speakup is in ubuntu raring now. But you have the problem with 
pulseaudio when using speakup.soft.

I got it halfway fixed and run speechd-up on the textconsole
