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

Hi.

Very minor correction.  Possibly a typo.  It's: 

sudo modprobe speakup_soft start=1

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
