[arch-general] Problems with upgrading arch system do to file conflicts.

[matthew dyer via arch-general]

Evening all,

When trying to update my arch system, I get a  message about files in conflict 
with speech-dispatcher.  Speech-dispatcher is not even listed as an update.  I 
have tried paceman overwrite with no luck. I looked at the arch new updates and 
saw nothing to the effect of this.  Is there something wrong, or a bug 
somewhere that needs to be fixed?  I have not been able to fine anything on 
this one.  I am scratching my head.

Any help would be greatly appriseated.

Thanks.

Matthew

Re: [arch-general] Anyone having problems refreshing PGP keys lately?

[matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi. This machine is from 2019. I am guessing there is a way to get the version 
of Pac-Man on that system.  I was unable to get orca to read the file. To give 
you an idea of how old this system is, the nano is 4.4 something.

[arch-general] Anyone having problems refreshing PGP keys lately?

[matthew dyer via arch-general]

Good morning all,

I am wondering if anyone is having problems refreshing PGP keys from the 
default server?  I can force it to use the ipv4 server, but using mate-terminal 
with orca I am unable to edit the /etc/pacman.d/gnu/pgp.conf file to change the 
server.  Orca will not read it and plume will not open it with sudo rites.  Any 
ideas on this one?  This is an older arch vm which will not update till the PGP 
keys have been updated and imported.  I do not have speech in a conc so that 
would not work.  Thanks.

[arch-general] Time stamps are in 24 hour format how can you change this.

[Matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi all,

I am using Jenux which is a basic installer for arch Linux, but any I have
notest that for some reason when using thunderbird with orca, Time and day
are spoken in 24 hour format with year, month day followed by the time in 24
hour format.  My time zone is set correctly.  For example 2020/2020/jfirstjf
15:jj.  Any one know how to switch to udds format?  It's driving me crazy.
If I use orca to get the time it is spoken correctly.  Thanks all.  

 

Matthew

 

PS, I have checked the arch wiki, but came up empty.  Thanks.

 

 

[arch-general] Question about switching to 12 hour time

[matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi all,

As an orca user, I am confused about something.  My arch machine is set to use 
local time which means that if I am using orca and quarry the time orca gives 
me the time correctly in 12 hour time but in looking at emails in thunderbird, 
the time and date are spoken in 24 hour time for example, Its about 6:33 p.m 
here in the eastern u.s which orca would speak correctly but if I  were to use 
orca I would here the message info with the date format spoken as 2020/13/02 
followed by 18:33.  Is there something in a configuration file somewhere or 
something in orca that I need to change?  Just wondering as this is confusing 
me.  BTW, my locale is set to en_US.UTF-8.  Thanks.  Will continue to do some 
digging but thought I would ask here just incase I am missing something 
obvious.

I wasn't sure what you were talking about so I checked out the website:

You must have meant https://talkingarch.info/

Sorry, should be tarch.org.  In any case, the latest image, acts as if there is 
no internet connection.  My internet is working fine.  I am using a VM, but 
should not matter since all other distros work fine.

hello, i recommend using iso from talkingarch.info because it is newer.

but now all recent kernels suffer from speakup bug witch completely hangs 
system.

i will test lts release. and if it is normal create new iso tomorrow.

in fact you can avoid thees bug if you use only read by strings witch numpad 7

Hi all,

I am using arch linux with orca and mate desktop and have a strange problem or 
bug or something and was wondering if there was a way to fix it or work around 
it.

I am using the America/New_York time zone so my time shows correctly at least 
according to orca.  Orca gives me the time in 12 Hour format which is what I 
want, but when I look at an email such as in thunderbird, the time and date are 
given 24 hour format for example, 2019/14/09 11:00 rather than the u.s format I 
am used to.  I read through the arch wiki and could not find anything on how to 
change the time format on the clock.  Any ideas on how to change this?  HW 
clock is set to UTC if that has anything to do with it.  I tried to set it to 
locale time, but that messed up the system clock so had to switch it back.  

Thanks all.  BTW, if this is sooted better for the orca list please let me 
know/.  

Thanks again all.

Hi,

I'm having some issues with installing brltty. The problem is, it depends on
espeak but I'm using the espeak-ng from community and it is giving me the

I don't think that brltty actually needs espeak at all, and it could

Re: [arch-general] Grub-efi install issue

Aaa,  Thanks.  I managed to get it installed and configured, but while 
the system booted I had no speech.  I saw another thread on this and 
someone thought it was an orca problem, but not sure as this was a basic 
arch system.  I did havew antergoes installed to another vm and also had 
no speech so could be releated.   Thanks again.  I will mess with this a 
bit more as it seems the efi partition needs to be mount twice onece 
before installing all packages and then mounted to the installed system 
while in arch-chroot.

The EFI partition is usually mounted to /boot on arch systems,
although /boot/efi is another common place.

The grub wiki page says "substitute esp with its mount point".
/dev/sda1 is the device, not the mount point.

Hi all,

Last night I was reading in the arch wiki about creating an efi partition
for arch Linux and I had a question.  Is this esp partition the same as say
a boot partition that is used in bios?  Meening do I need to have an extra
partition for a boot partition or is this efi partition used as the boot
partition.  I did not see anything regarding this in the wiki so thought I
would ask here.

I had previously looked into packaging espeak-ng (in the AUR), but it depends 
on the development version of pcaudiolib (espeak-ng maintains a fork that is

I have an arch machine with mate as the desktop.  I am using orca all

syncrinization.  If I get time with orca t, I here the time 4 hours 
ahead of my local time.  For example, If I press orca t for time, it 
will tell me that it is  15:-01.  It is speaking in 24 hour time rather 
than 12 hour.  It is about 11 am eastering at time of writing this 
message.  I am wondering if there is a way to fix this.  I installed 
gnome control center and set it to sync timezone info  and to use am-pm  
but the is not being used dispite the changed.  How can I fix this?

   What was this caused by? I had to boot from the 10/2016 iso. Is it a change
in signatures since then? I'll download a new iso and try, but I'd be
surprised if an iso less than 5 months old no longer works?

Re: [arch-general] espeak ng and keeping packages in the aur uptodate.

[Matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi,

I ran the talking arch script which Kial has been working and when doing so, I 
got the aur helper running.  The simple thing is this.  I want to switch to 
espeak NG and yes I am aware of espeakup git.  I know that I can install this.  
I am going to assoom then that if espeak NG ias in the aur, I could just 
install it and all should be well.  I asked aabout keeping aur packages updated 
as it did not mention in the wiki how to do this with the asseption of any git 
packages which are cloned.  Hope this makes sence,.

Matthew

What I want to know is, given that the OP's original message clearly
stated he *already has* yaourt installed... why, oh why, must the peanut
gallery recommend *undoing* all that good work of manually (presumably
-- one hopes) installing an AUR helper, and instead recommend activating
the dreaded [archlinuxfr] repo?

(This peanut gallery has posted here before, somehow I am not surprised
he uses [archlinuxfr].)

Either Jude DaShiell didn't read the OP at all, just the subject line,
or he really, really, really wants people to use [archlinuxfr] for some
truly bizarre (and messed up) reason.

Either option is kind of scary.

...

I also couldn't help but notice, not only did he recommend [archlinuxfr]
he also recommended installing archlinuxfr/yaourt via a partial update!

espeak is on the official repositories, at community.
So you can use pacman to install it.
Hi,
How do I know if I am running espeak ng?  Espeak is already being used.  I jst 
wondered If this is the case then I should be able to do sudo pacman -S espeak. 
 I will have to rtake a look next time I boot up my arch system.  I want to use 
espeak ng, Sonar already uses this.  Thanks.

[arch-general] espeak ng and keeping packages in the aur up to date.

[Matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi all.

I am wondering about a couple of things.  I have been using orca for some time 
now, but wondering if espeak NG will be coming to arch community any time 
soon..  In the mean time, does any know if it is in the aur?  

Secondly I have yaourt installed and there are a few packages from the aur 
installed.  What is the eaasyes way to keep the packages up to date.  Is there 
a command through yaourt like sudo yaourt -Syu for example.  I was reading 
about this in the arch wiki but did not find anything about how to do this 
offisiontly.  If anyone knows how to do this, it would really be appriseated.

Thanks.

Thanks..  I will try this with https.   I messed with a little bit earlier but 
got the same result.  I will try it with the https and see what happens.

Hi Matthew,
  Did you set the timezone correctly? If so, is your virtual machine
using your machine's time as UTC? If it is, then make sure that you set
your timezone as UTC.


There are named timezones in the /usr/share/zoneinfo/US directory; try
ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/US/Eastern /etc/localtime then check the date.
If this does not work, try replacing US/Eastern with UTC.

Re: [arch-general] time setting problem after installing.

[matthew dyer via arch-general]

Hi,


I got the timezone set america/new_york.  Will see what I can do about 
getting the time set correctlly eventually.  I thought after setting the 
correct tz it would set the correcrt time from ntpd, but it is still 
showing the time differenrt then what the time is by over 4 hours.  For 
example, current local time here is about 6:20 here but when I check the 
time using orca, I see that it is about  10:20 or in orcas catse it is 
22:20.  It is very strange.

Don't correct local time, chose the wanted local time.
