Re: [orca-list] Unable to get speech with orca master in ubuntu 17.10.

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi

Nah, not released yet. So it's beta. It's coming out in april as the 
next lts, long term support, release. I use it because it has up to date 
software. Most importantly, it has mate 1.20, libre office 6.0  and orca 
3.27. I'd recommend using it though because it is, at least for me, 
stable. There is some orca lag, but not nearly as much as I reported a 
few days ago. A fresh installation fixed most of the lag I was 
experiencing. But some people don't like running beta software so it's 
up to you. I wish I could figure out what this weird bug is, and fix it. 
At last, it's not just me who is experiencing it. I've done all the 
usual steps, changing volume, muting and unmuting, running espeak hi to 
check sound, and finally killing pulse audio, deleting it's config in 
~/.config and /etc, and finally reinstalling both it and speech 
dispatcher. Nothing works.

Thanks

Kendell Clark
