Hi, I haven't seen that particular error with speech-dispatcher before. If it is vital that you get Orca up and running before any other solution can be found, you could try installing the orca version with built in espeak support. If you would like to do so: git clone https://github.com/pvagner/orca cd orca ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var make sudo make install I'm not sure how to pick espeak from the list without having speech, maybe Peter can help out with that. If there is a way to do it that is. Maybe when the direct espeak code gets added, it will be included in the orca -t options so it will be possible to select it from the CLI. Sorry I can't do any better than this, but maybe it will be enough to get you up and running. HTH Storm On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 09:48:33PM -0400, Al Sten-Clanton wrote:
Hi, Storm, and thanks for the suggestions. I'm sorry to say that trying either spd-say "hello" or the command speech-dispatcher gives mesetlocale: No such file or directoryI installed speech-dispatcher-git and got the same thing. (I had to use this Windows machine to get the link." I think there's a man page for setlocale, but I couldn't figure out what it had to do with speech-dispatcher. I certainly couldn't figure out how any relevant file or directory by that name got removed or where it's supposed to be.Anybody have any ideas?

If not, try: killall -9g speech-dispatcher && speech-dispatcher then repeat the above step again: spd-say "hello" If that still doesn't speak, try upgrading to speech-dispatcher from git available in the AUR. Hopefully, when the espeak code gets added, loss of speech will become much more rare. HTH Storm On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 06:40:40PM -0400, Al Sten-Clanton wrote:Greetings! I didn't use my Linux machine for a few days. Today, I find that Orca doesn't speak. It is running, according to the ps command. Sound is fine, as shown by using Firefox to get to an online radio station. I have used versions 3.17.90pre, 3.16.2, and 3.17.91pre, and have rebooted for each. The super-alt-s keystroke has alternately shown me that it was running and that it was not. I have also tried Orca-s several times. It seems, therefore, that everything I've used is working except Orca's speech output. I'm using Arch. I ran an update today, after finding this problem. I think I did one last week, but don't recall whether I used Orca afterwards or simply shut down, so can't say for sure that that update didn't somehow cause the problem. I'll be grateful for any help.
