Re: [orca-list] Orca at install time on Ubuntu server 15.04?

[Rob Whyte <fudge thefudge net>]

Hi,
the speaker modules are included in the kernel but not loaded.
sudo odprobe speaks_soft loads them, you can add speak_soft start=1 if I remember correctly to /etc/modules
Ubuntu does not have the S for speech option on the server images like Debian does.

Thanks
Rob
