Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher refused to start with error code, stating this as a reason: Error: can't open logging file /var/log/speech-dispatcher//speechd.log! Using stdout. Thu Oct 27 19:02:22 2011 [184686] ALSA ERROR: Cannot open audio device plughw:2,0 (Device or resource busy) Thu Oct 27 19:02:22 2011 [184717] ALSA ERROR: Cannot initialize Alsa device 'plughw:2,0': Can't open. festival_client: connect to server failed Error: can't open logging file /var/log/speech-dispatcher//speechd.log! Using stdout. Autospawn failed: Mismatch in communication methods. Client requests unix_socket, most probably due to its configuration or the value of the SPEECHD_ADDRESS environment variable, but the server is configured to provide the inet_socket method. How so still looking for unix sockets? And how so can't write a log?
the log part isn't very clear to me, I have no idea why speechd wants to log there, other than a configuration option maybe? as for why it wants to use a unix socket the library uses the SPEECHD_ADDRESS env var for what to connect to not the config file (consider the case of a remote speech dispatcher). try exporting SPEECHD_ADDRESS=inet_socket:localhost:6560 and then trying again. Trev
Checking the log directory is owned by root, gid root. Directory is set
700, and file is 660. Seems root should be able to write. Or, is SD not
running as root?
