Would be possible send me the error generated when you run
spd-say?
You can redirect StdErr to a file and send me the content of the
file.
To redirect you can try the following command in the terminal:
spd-say 'hello' 2>err.txt

No,
the ps command didn't show speech-dispatcher. Yes, I get an error
when I use the spd-say command.
I did
aptitude reinstall speech-dispatcher
and then rebooted. Orca spoke for logging in but then was
silent. I reinstalled gnome-orca and rebgooted yet again, and had
the same problem. The ps command shows orca running but not
speech-dispatcher.
I also still have the problem that I get speech through the
speakers but not the headphones. This matters because my wife and
I are often up here using the two computers at the same time.
Thanks!

When you run spd-say do you get some error in the console?
Do you have access to the logs of speech-dispatcher?

Thanks! Looks like speech-dispatcher's
not workking. The ps command
indicates that Orca is running.
I know this, by the way, because I'm now getting speakup
through my
speakers but not my headphones. (Just somehow thought to test
this.)
Any suggestion how to get speech-dispatcher up?

One thing that you can test is
speech-dispatcher.
Run: spd-say 'hello'
At least you will know if speech-dispatcher is working.

Greetings! Apologies to anybody who
saw a variant of this post on the
Blinux list, but this list seems a reasonable place to ask
for help
with at least the Orca part of my problem.
Yesterday, after a fair bit of reading, rereading, and
following what
looked like relevant advice from that reading, I ran the
upgrade from
jessie to stretch. I used "apt-get dist-upgrade." It
seemed to be
successful in most respects; it didn't abort, anyway.
When I rebooted, I got what clearly were a bunch of
Speakup messages.
Apparently, the upgrade enabled espeakup.service, which I
had disabled
in order to run my own script for getting speakup. At no
point did I
get Orca, not even using the super-alt-s keystroke.
When I got myself into a terminal, I tried disabling
espeak.servvice.
When I rebooted, there was no speakup, but also no orca;
again, the
keystroke to bring it up did not work.
I went into a text terminal, which of course was
speechless. I tried
enabling espeakup.service again, just to get some kind of
speech, but
this failed. I tried a couple more times. (I know I was
in a
terminal because the poweroff command did shut the machine
do2wn.)
I suspectt there's this particular thing or two I need to
fix, but I
don't know what that is and have no speech anywhere to
find out. At
the very least, I'd like to get Orca talking, and then
maybe I can
retrieve my previous speakup set-up. I'll be grateful for
any help.
Al
[p.s. I've read the accessibility section about disabling
pulseaudio.
I may do that again, but when I did it the last time it
preventing my
listening to an online radio station, hence the script for
using
speakup after I was logged in via the gui. I hope to use
speakup with
my Tripletalk LT, but that will come later.
