Hi everyone. I've just downloaded the Gentoo 10.1 live DVD, but |
| 2 |
cannot get Speakup to work after booting into it. I have an Intel |
| 3 |
Dualcore PC and have tried booting the Gentoo and Gentoo64 kernels |
| 4 |
from the DVD. Speakup doesn't seem to work on either of them. I have |
| 5 |
a Dectalk USB synthesizer which I have tried using in RS232 mode like |
| 6 |
a Dectalk Express. At the DVD's boot prompt, I type the following: |
| 7 |
gentoo speakup.synth=dectlk nox |
| 8 |
I heard nothing from my Dectalk USB, but a sighted companion told me |
| 9 |
that the system booted to a command prompt, but produced the error |
| 10 |
"Fatal: speakup_dectlk not found" in the process. |
| 11 |
I also tried booting with software speech and typed the following at |
| 12 |
the DVD's boot prompt: |
| 13 |
gentoo speakup.synth=soft nox |
| 14 |
I heard no speech and my sighted companion informed me that the system |
| 15 |
had again booted to a command prompt, but had produced the error |
| 16 |
"Fatal: speakup_soft not found" during the boot process. |
| 17 |
At the command prompt, I tried to see if Espeak was working by typing: |
| 18 |
espeak "Hello. This is a test" |
| 19 |
I heard nothing and unfortunately had no sighted help at that point so |
| 20 |
don't know if an error message appeared. |
| 21 |
At the very least, I would like to be able to use Speakup with my |
| 22 |
Dectalk USB when booting the Gentoo 10.1 live DVD. If you have any |
| 23 |
advice as to why the speakup_dectlk module is not being loaded and |
| 24 |
what I can do to cause it to load when booting the DVD, I'd be very |
| 25 |
grateful to hear from you. |
| 26 |
Regards, |
