Other than those little tidbits these instructiosn worked perfectly well. -----Original Message----- From: Doug Smith [mailto:savant-technopath@cyber-wizard.com]=20 Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 4:46 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux. Subject: Re: Kali Linux It is really simple to get speech up and running when the system is install= ed. You are right. There is no speech in the console by default, but you = can fix it by doing this: 1. In the graphical environment, press alt f2 and when you are prompted for= a command, enter leafpad /etc/modules 2. At the very bottom of the list, which I believe only contains two or thr= ee entries, write: speakup_soft and press return. 3. This is with an underline between speakup and soft. Then reboot. 4. You will hear speakup coming up with some kind of fail fail message and = then it will start reading the bootup messages. You will have to stop it w= ith the speakup stop key or the orca on there will not come up talking. 5. When you have all this done, open a terminal and do this: chmod a=3Drw- /etc/init.d/gdm This will keep the graphical environment fro= m coming up unless you want it to. You have to be connected before you do = this because you have to install a package or two afterward. 6. Now, with the system talking in the console, you need to do an apt-get install speakup-tools so that you will have the speakupconf program available to save your speaku= p settings. Then apt-get install xorg-xinit, I think it is and then make a= .xinitrc file with only one line in it and that is: exec gnome-session and then you can use startx to go into gnome on your kali linux. I hope I have all those files right. I hope I have all those package names= right. If not, and you have problems, feel free to contact me off list an= d I will help you. Hope this helps. -- Doug Smith: Special Agent S.W.A.T Spiritual Warfare and Advanced Technology Forever serving our LORD= and SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@linux-speakup.org http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
