Re: [orca-list] Espeak rashes in Fedora 18 after Friday's updates



Dave, I think I can answer one question: a look at my updates yesterday seemed to show that espeak was one of them. (This is consistent with what you replied to my "strange update" message, though it doesn't tell us why the update should screw things up.)

I don't seem to be having the kind of espeak crashes you mention. One problem I do have since getting Speakup working is that the software speech often responds to reading keys slower than a glacier.

Did you install Fedora without sighted assistance? That is, can we mere insignificant blind folks finally use the installer?

Hi,

In installed Fedora 18, probably the 64-bit edition, and did a
"sudo yum update",
letting all the patches and updates happen.  Having done this, I notice that espeak seems to crash often, seemingly 
when I interrupt speech.  I get the "dummy output module" message from speech dispatcher.  Only a system 
restart seems to fix this.  I see other reports of espeak malfunctions in Fedora 18; did Fedora push an espeak patch or 
update?  Is there a way to roll espeak back?  I am not very familiar with Fedora's ways.



Cheers,
