Re: [orca-list] strange voice obstructing Orca



Hi Trev,
I use pulse because I didn't change anything from a fresh install where Orca works out of the box.
This is completely abracadabra for me.
I even don't know what is gdb.
I would like to follow your instructions, telling me exactly what to do.
1. Should I type in a terminal:
gdb -p `pid of sd_espeak`
Where do I get the pid of sd_espeak?
2. When the strange voice comes up again I should typ in a terminal:
script(1)
to start recording.
3. In a terminal I should type:
c
to fix the problem.
4. at the gdb prompt run bt.
But where is the gdb prompt?
And should I then type 'bt' ?

Hi,

it sounds like the espeak module for speechd / opentts is dying,
killall -HUP openttsd should fix the problem.  I assume you're using
pulse?  I'd like to track this issue down, could you attach gdb to the
sd_espeak process, and when that process dies get a backtrace?

do something like this:
gdb -p `pidof sd_espeak` # speech may stop the next step should fix
this
at the prompt type 'c' #go away until you get the no modules message
then at the gdb prompt run bt and mail the results.  I'd suggest using
script(1) to record the gdb session so you don't have to worry about
copying text without orca.

Dear List,
I did a fresh installation of Ubuntu Lucid with Orca.
Several times it happened that a strange voice came up saying: This
is Daniel .. telling about speech-dispatcher is working but not for
him and so on. The only thing I could do is to reboot my system to
bring up Orca to run again.
What is happening on my machine? How can I prevent this form
happening again?
Today I notice after killall speech-dispatcher and starting Orca
again, I could continue working on my machine.
Thanks in advance.
Milton
