Public bug reported:
>From very old versions of Kernel for Ubuntu until version 5.13, accessibility
>features were enabled, allowing blind users to use screen readers in text
>mode, such as "speakup" via "espeakup" package.
In Kernels 5.15 packages for Ubuntu 22.04 beta, such as
"linux-image-5.15.0-23-generic", accessibility features are disabled (no
justification for such occurrence was listed in the file
"changelog.Debian.gz"), with this the espeakup application doesn't work, it
depends on the missing speakup_soft module.
Missing in the file "/boot/config-5.15.0-23-generic" comparing with the file
"/boot/config-5.13.0-39-generic", the line
CONFIG_ACCESSIBILITY=y
and the following lines are also missing:
#
