* debian testing no speech after new install @ lists ` Kenny Hitt 0 siblings, 1 reply; 20+ messages in thread From: lists @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup Just installed debian testing from snapshot cd of 27th July. I got speech throughout the install and all seemed to go well. When booting for the first time after the install, I got no speech. I believe the system is booting correctly, as I can shut it down with the halt command after logging in as root. I am using hardware speech with an apollo. So, anything I can try to get it talking and any one else had this issue. When I get chance, will get someone to look for error messages but if I can get it talking in the mean time, that would be good.

After you login as root, have you tried running modprobe speakup_apollo My first guess is the module wasn't added to /etc/modules. If the modprobe command gets you speech, then you can figure out the problem without needing sighted help.

I believe it is planned to have software speech available on the Squeeze installer, but I haven't seen a recent update on the status. Since I have an Accent SA, I haven't payed close attention to the progress on software speech in the installer. There is no problem using software speech after the install. Just aptitude -q install espeakup and make sure speakup_soft is in /etc/modules. This will work on Lenny as well as Squeeze. Although I use software speech after boot, I still let the system start out with the Accent SA so I can hear things like fsck. I switch to software speech first thing after login.

Steve, My doubletalk LT works fine in arch also, wikth kernel 2.6.34, although I normally use espeak for regular activities. Here is how my speech modules are handled: In /etc/rc.conf, I have this line: MODULES=(speakup speakup_soft) In /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, I have this line: options speakup_soft start=0 and in /etc/rc.local, I have these lines: # extra speakup modules modprobe speakup_ltlk ser=0 start=0 # start talking talkwith soft espeakup speakupconf load I hope something above might be helpful.

I ran script to capture some of the output I got but I think the spkout module is severely broken or something. Basically, to compare with Chuck's configuration, I made sure my configs were closest to his; at least right now, my MODULES entry in /etc/rc.conf now only includes speakup and speakup_soft. In my /etc/modprobe.d/speakup.conf file, I have start=0 on the options line for speakup_soft. I commented out all other references to speakup_spkout for now. What I then did was to reboot my system where I would end up with no speech; then I logged in with an ssh session so I could at least monitor what was going on. I then did the commands you will see in my script output below. I basically tried to modprobe the speakup_spkout module but unsuccessfully but I could at least get soft speech going again. Can anyone offer some pointers on how I might fix thie module? I realize it's hard for developers to test a module if they don't own a synth but I have a speakout so would be willing to debug this if I knew how:) ----- Begin script output ----- Script started on Wed 11 Aug 2010 06:12:26 PM MST [root@lnx3 ~]# modprobe speakup_spkout FATAL: Error inserting speakup_spkout (/lib/modules/2.6.34-ARCH/kernel/drivers/speakup-git/speakup_spkout.ko): No such device [root@lnx3 ~]# modprobe speakup_spkout ser=0 start=0 [root@lnx3 ~]# talkwith spkout Unable to switch to the spkout synthesizer.

I don't know what it is. I'm totally clueless. The following synths have failed: Speakout, Audapter, and Double Talk external. In the case of the Double Talk external, it's a mixed bag. Some folks are able to use it under kernel 2.6.34, while others aren't. Could it be possible that the module won't load because some process has opened the serial port? I doubt it, but it's worth investigating. Just for a lark, would you mind running the command fuser /dev/ttyS0 on that system? Also, just out of curiosity, what daemons are you starting at boot? Do any of those open the serial port? -- Chris ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread

I did just that from a root console and got no answers back; also $? yielded a value of 1. > Also, just out of curiosity, what daemons are you starting at boot? DAEMONS=(pwrstatd alsa syslog-ng network netfs crond atd ntpd hal fam postgresql sshd speechd) > Do any of those open the serial port? I don't think so. I don't know about things like HAL but would doubt it. I thought about speechd but the closest thing there would be the generic module but that applies to Cepstral so no serial there. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 20+ messages in thread
