Re: [orca-list] Still can't get Speakup to run

[James Austin <james londonsw15 gmail com>]

Hi Rob

Thank you, should have thought more about the subject line. Apologies.

I am currently running ubuntu 16.04 LTS in a virtual machine. I am, as I 
think I mentioned, new to Linux though quite experienced with the 
command line under Mac OS. Perhaps I should be starting out with Vinux 
instead of ubuntu?

Using apt I have installed the espeakup package though speechd-up 
refuses to install. Initially I thought that I might not be getting any 
sound in the ALT+CTRLF1 terminal, but espeak echoes phrases that are 
passed to it.

Unfortunately I cannot give you any more imformation about what is 
happening in the terminal. I also tried to run Speakup from a Unity 
terminal, hoping to send the output of any errors to a file, but  the 
terminal did not report any errors. I also tried to re-run and reinstall 
the Speak package after updating/upgrading packages, but apt-get said 
that it could not locate the package. I thought that the Speakup modules 
were now part of the Linux core?

Thank you for any help.

Best wishes

James
