Hi Samuel, > There is no need to start speech-dispatcher as root. Nowadays you can
ah, okay. It did try to start it system-wide during package installation, which made me assume this was the one it would use. So, we have the startup issues addressed, I think. Now, no sound, although this might be a separate bugreport? > spd-say "foo" > > and if that doesn't work, check out the log files in > /run/user/1000/speech-dispatcher/log That path does not exist, but strace -e file showed there are logs in /tmp/runtime-tglase/speech-dispatcher/log/ which I attached (as gzipped tarball, although probably only speech-dispatcher.log has meaningful informatioin). The logs contain info from exactly one spd-say invocation. strace shows successful openat() of these sound-related devices: /dev/snd/controlC0 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p /dev/snd/timer Thanks, //mirabilos -- 15:41⎜<Lo-lan-do:#fusionforge> Somebody write a testsuite for helloworld :-)
