Hi Guy, I'd really recommend waiting for the Ubuntu package, since the
package will solve these problems for you.  If you try solving them yourself
it is always hacking and it requires quite some expertise.  If there is 
anyone who managed to solve that on a Ubuntu box, I'd be glad to hear. 
It's hard for me to give an advice since I don't have a Ubuntu system to 
try on.  In general, SD needs the directory /var/run/speech-dispatcher 
to exist and to be writable by the user under which it runs.  As far as 
I understand it, /var is mounted as tmpfs in ubuntu so that is causing 
the trouble...

Best regards

Tomas
