But you know, we often think we're the ones doing something wrong and hesitate to report anything unless and until we can verify that it's really really a bug. Another issue, of course, is, maybe nobody installed from scratch with the expectation of using Speakup at the console immediately after installation, which is why nobody thought there was anything wrong. OK, if it's been reported and fixed, I'm not going to worry about doing it, I just need to know what I need to do to work around it or how/when to apply the proper update when it comes out. I can wait. ssh is my friend until then.\ On Thu, 31 Dec 2015 14:20:18 +0100, you wrote: >Steve Matzura, on Thu 31 Dec 2015 08:10:41 -0500, wrote: >> Oh that's bizarre.
