1 Hi,
2 Thanks. I was able to restart world and it completed. When i logged in
3 to gnome and atempted to run orca no speech output. I thought it was a
4 volume issue with alsa, but using mpg123 from the console i was able
5 to play an mp3. The orca window appears to come up but no speech
6 feedback.
7 Suggestions welcome.
8 Thanks.
9 Dave.
