Dear advanced users and developers,
Who of us could help Me to get Mate desktop environment
to work with latest Knoppix?
My motivations are:
1. I have stopped to have The patience with Pulseaudio, Espeak ENG
Speech-dispatcher Espeak driver. I have done my best to solve The issues with
Espeak bad sound output, but really, I can not spend The rest of my life to find
The solutions. Mbrola do not cause those sounds, but Czech speech databases for
Mbrola are very small so speech output quality is much more worst than when
using some German voices for Mbrola.
Knoppix is being configured so ALSA is being used by Speech-dispatcher and
Espeak work perfectly even after 20 hours of continuous or random activity with
Orca or Espeak.
Mr Professor Klaus Knopper is one of The Linux elite programmers around The
world so I have decided that I will give his distribution The chance.
I have more informatics reasons than The presence of preconfigured ALSA
sound output.
System can be remastered. It is possible to use persistent setting file,
overlay file or standalone overlay partition. So Mr Professor Klaus Knopper has
done his best to incorporate The best Linux kernel features to create fully
usable portable operating system.
Sure! Advanced users and developers can do that on every other Linux
distribution. But to be honest, I did not known about special kernel parameters
and how to use them. And scripts of Knoppix are designed so user can use it from
X session by using
dialog
Linux app, it is second GTK based dialog system. Zenity is The next.
Knoppix scripts are using also Dialog system so really, it is perfectly possible
to run Knoppix scripts from terminal.
My problems.
1. How to manage so Speech-dispatcher will work also when mate-session is
active?How to initialize Mate desktop from Knoppix so also CTRL+ALT+d will
work.
If I will type mate-session
at The Bash shell prompt, I will got some run-time error with
numbers.
but when I will type
xinit mate-session
Mate will be initialized. But something unsoft will prevent Me from using
Speech-dispatcher with Orca. Mate volume monitor will perfectly work, even build
in sound effects are working.
What would I have to do so Speech-dispatcher will also send data to espeak
and socket problem will stop to be occurred?
How to correctly initialize mate-session without xinit, since this approach
is very probably not good approach?
