Re: pulseaudio problems again
Dear List! Luke, I try an interesting ydea, works my machine with Jaunty and Karmic. Because lot of people says Orca always lose speech with Ubuntu systems, I try following extreeme ydea: 1. I rebuild libgnome-speec7 and speech-dispatcher packages without pulseaudio-utils dependency. After installed with new packages, I uninstall with all pulseaudio packages with following commands my system: apt-get purge pulseaudio* pulseaudio-* 2. I download libportaudio2 package with Debian testing age, because in Debian the libportaudio2 package is very stable. I installed the new libportaudio2 package with my Jaunty and Karmic system. The results is very fantastic: 1. Orca does'nt lose speech with very long time. Lot of time I work very long time with my Ubuntu systems (8 hours /day). I testing gnome-speech driver and Espeak synthesizer. 2. Speech-dispatcher does'nt freeze with long sayall documents my machine. Original speech-dispatcher freeze with short time. If you interesting, I send you the modifyed source codes, or open a bugreport with launchpad. Or if it is enough, I download modifyed packages with my PPA with Karmic age, and another peoples possible testing this modifyed packages. Thougs?

Re: pulseaudio problems again
Something in Karmic is causing the volume of sound to mute whenever a system sound is played. This started I believe yesterday evening August 15. This has been a problem in the past where certain sounds would automatically drop the volume down or raise it out of control, but this is the first time I have seen a total drop-out of the master volume all the way to 0. Things like this seem to happen when pulseaudio is updated. If you are uninstalling pulseaudio, simply resetting your master volume should get you talking again. For me, it's more than a small annoyance, because I try to use pulseaudio, even though I really don't need it because I have a SoundBlaster Live which does hardware mixing.

Re: pulseaudio problems again
Hello Mike. Hi, are we ever going to be rid of the problems with pulseaudio. Everytime I get updates in karmic and it is installed I loose speech. I was always able to just uninstall pulseaudio to get speech back until today. This time after uninstalling pulseaudio, I got no login sound or speech after rebooting. Du you know what kinde of update cause the problems? Did you generally update your system or only spezific software, e. g. Firefox or Oppenofice? Du you working with a english system or with whitch language do you use on your system? Give use some details of your hardware that your are using on this system. please.

Vinux 2.0 Beta 1 Released!
I am happy to announce the release of Vinux 2.0 Beta 1 which is now based on Debian Lenny 5.02. It comes in the form of a Debian Live CD which has Orca and Speakup installed and configured by default. When you boot from the Live CD you will hear three audio beeps when the boot prompt it ready. Once booted Orca will kick in and you can switch to Epeakup in console mode if you prefer a text based system. You can launch admin applications from the menu with Orca support, although the installer, partitioner and restore bootloader applications will only work on the Live CD. You can however run admin applications at any time by using 'sudo' on the Live CD or 'su' once installed. There are lots of customised keystrokes to make opening applications easy and Vinux now features a completely new desktop layout which provides partially sighted users simple one click access to common applications and makes maximum use of the width and depth of the screen. You can read the full release announcement here: http://vinux-development.blogspot.com/ - This is beta release and while I expect most applications to work there may well be issues with hardware compatibility and I would appreciate any feedback on hardware which is/is not supported in the hope I will be able to fix this before the final release. You can get the new version here: http://vinux.org.uk/downloads/old/2.0/Vinux-2.0-Beta-1.iso http://vinux.org.uk/downloads/old/2.0/Vinux-2.0-Beta-1.iso.md5sum.txt And here: http://vinux.archive-host.com/Vinux-20-Beta-1.iso http://vinux.archive-host.com/Vinux-20-Beta-1isomd5sum.txt Enjoy, drbongo -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
