Hi I’m a little confused. So there *isn’t* a speech dispatcher bug, or an orca bug? That’s good to know but also confusing. It could be a security issue, something not getting permissions it needs, but then it’s probably an arch or antergos bug, since the installer does all of this itself. Yes both orca stable and speech dispatcher stable are affected. I may have to install Ubuntu mate or some other lts distro to get a working Linux setup. I couldn’t get slint working, which isn’t a point against slint. I need to try a manjaro image to make sure it’s an antergos bug, if their installer is accessible still. The problem with this security approach is that the user is going to have to know enough about how Linux works internally to fix it, and while I might be able to work this out, a new user isn’t going to be able to, and the old circle starts again. Where to draw the line between user friendliness and where the user is just going to complain if any work is needed. Totally bogus as windows installations need setup, all installations need setup unless you go with stock. It could also be a pulse issue, but again, the issue isn’t obvious. All I’m aware of is that speech isn’t working, I’m not sure why. But pulse audio is starting and is working. Speech dispatcher and orca both seem to be starting fine, but no speech. I don’t think the greeter stuff is involved since I set my systems to auto login, at least initially to avoid the tangle in cases where stuff isn’t started and killed cleanly. Thanks Kendell Clark
sent from my ultrabook From: B. Henry Hey buddy, if you don't have another computer to ssh in to the problematic box, or if you would like a 2nd, (probably useless in my case, but who knows), opinion, send me your external ip and the other creds I'd need and I wilkl be glad to take a look for you.I was really frustrated for some hours a couple weeks ago myself, and honestly am not %100 sure why things are working nicely again, but it sounds like maybe speech-dispatcher's not getting a pulse channel, sink I guess it'd be correctly called. I'll switch to pulse later just to see wheter I get orca speech or not. I've not been reading most of my emaiol for the last year, so don't know if anyone took over speech-dispatcher from Luke. YOu know anyting about that? BTW, I'm still not reading all my mail regularly, just no time right now, so give me a call, or dm me on twitter if you send an emaill that does not get any answer. I'll check tonight, but tomorrow and after who knows, it moight take a couple or three mopnths for me to get through all my mail, and or deside to delete everything more than a few months old and filter out most of the rest...lol
