Running Speakup on Ubuntu

2011-05-31 Thread Tony Sales
Is anyone able to get speakup running on anUbuntu installation (or live CD) 
which has the default orca  screen-reader option enabled - in other words - 
which has Orca running and Pulseaudio running in user mode? Or even on a plain 
Ubuntu without Orca enabled - I have been trying to do this for a week and have 
not made any progress. I am not sure whether the problem is pulsaudio or 
speech-dispatcher or speech-up - but I suspect it maybe caused by 
speech-dispatcher as I am able to run pulseaudio and speech-up without any 
error messages. But I get an error about speech-dispatcher being disabled if I 
try to start that in a console. Speech-dispatcher seems to be set not to run in 
system mode by default.

Well, I can not speak for all other distributions (variants), but
Xubuntu will not be adding much. A user is welcome to add orca if they
want to. We do have Onboard Keyboard, but I am still fighting to get
the menu entry added, since Ubuntu removes it from the debian version.
my understanding is that we are going to stop removing the icon because 
it looks spectacularly daft in Unity where we offer other on screen 
keyboards available to download but hide the installed one from the user.
