Hi, I've never tried that. I just chose to go pulse free. I don't really need skype, so it hasn't really caused me any problems yet, and has actually solved a few. Storm On Sat, Feb 14, 2015 at 01:25:40PM -0600, Christopher Chaltain wrote:
Luke's package may be Ubuntu only, but before I used that I could just log into my console as root and then su to my user ID to get speech in both the console and the desktop. Are you saying this doesn't work in later versions of Ubuntu? I haven't tried this in a while since I'm still using Vinux 4 on my production system and I haven't tried this work around on my test systems yet.On 02/14/2015 01:10 PM, Storm Dragon wrote:Hi, Apparently that fix is a Ubuntu only fix. I'm not sure, because I no lo longer use Ubuntu nor any of its derivatives, but it was said that it doesn't work in future releases of Ubuntu either. People who use pulse say that you can have console speech with pulse installed so long as nothing in the GUI session is using speech-dispatcher, so the whole problem probably arises from the plethora of bugs that plagues speech-dispatcher itself. So, the whole issue could be resoved if Orca had a second way to output speech, say via espeak directly for instance, but that idea was shot down. So, afaik, if you want speech with orca and in the console at the same time, you are either forced to use Vinux based on a 3 year out of date version of Ubuntu, or any distro without pulseaudio. Pulseaudio has its own problems, but it is much better than it used to be. Unfortunately, I require console access, and I'm not a Vinux user, so the only option left to me is to not use pulse on my computer.

I don't have this problem on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using Luke's package but prior to that there was a simple work around. Does this work around not work in later versions of Ubuntu or in other distributions? On 02/14/2015 08:53 AM, Storm Dragon wrote:Hi, I would recommend mate. It's light weight, and pretty much as accessible as gnome. You can still customize it though. Also, you don't have to install pulseaudio if you don't want, which means you can have both console speech and speech on the desktop.

I have SSHed into it, and I can install a desktop of my choice here. I plan on using Orca. Which will be the best desktop for Orca? Like Unity, or Gnome, and which version of Gnome would be best?
