Re: a little help with fedora gnopernicus please...

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

It's not at all clear that the problem is with gnome-speech.

What speech server are you starting? And, how did you start it?

For example, you might do:

festival_server

and then test that gnome-speech is seeing it with:

test-speech

Have you run test-speech? What does it say?

PS: Up2date is now deprecated. The update agent of choice on Fedora is
now yum, the yellow-dog updater. You should have a /etc/yum.conf file.
