Re: Voxin won't install
Hi Gabe, I don't know, I have installed it many, many times in Ubuntu, and I have done it in the past in Vinux, and it always worked in Vinux as it did in Ubuntu. I open a terminal, then I go to the directory where the installer is, and I type: sudo bash voxin-installer.sh and it has always worked before. I have been using Voxin for perhaps 10 years.

installing Voxin on a thumb drive
Hi All, I wrote in on this problem earlier, and had no solutions offered, so I thought I'd try again. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an 8GB thumb drive, with a persistence file of 4GB, this was the 100% option in the Universal Pendrive persistence option. It booted into Ubuntu okay, and I copied the Voxin 0.37 installation folder into the home directory from my windows machine, and in terminal, I went into the voxin-enu-0.37 directory, and typed the following: sudo bash voxin-installer.sh And I looked at the licenses with typing yes, and when it got to the part where it asks if I want to use this in Orca, I typed y for yes, and when I pressed enter, it messed up my Orca that was running, and I used the shut-down option, and now Ubuntu is messed up. I have also tried this with Voxin 0.41 with the same results, that is why I tried an earlier version. Can anyone suggest a solution please? Thanks in advance.

Voxin installed, but wiped out SpeakUp
Hi, Well, as suggested, I copied the compressed archive, and uncompressed it in the home directory of Ubuntu. This is Ubuntu 10.04, and Voxin 0.41. So as before, I went to the -enu- folder, and ran: sudo bash voxin-installer.sh and it ran the installation, but it mentioned something about speakup not being installed because some things are missing, etc. Now it is probably loading Orca, but there is no speech at all. I tried insert-Q, and a tab to quit, and enter, and restarting Orca with still no speech. The audio is working, because I can hear the clunks when I back space in the run window. At this point, without speech, I don't know how to do much. I have done control + alt + T and I can get to the terminal, but I don't know what command might get Orca to work again. Any suggestions? Thanks. Glenn -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Vinux with Voxin
Hi, I have been installing Vinux onto a thumb drive, an 8GB thumb drive. Every time I try to install Voxin, it will sometimes act like it installed okay, and other times, the Voxin does not install, in fact, the speech goes out in the middle of the install. I have tried it using the USB install, using their USB installer program. This is the stable version, using Ubuntu 10.04. I have tried both Voxin 0.37, and Voxin 0.41. Is there a reason that it would not install onto a thumb drive? I downloaded the CD version, and although it was too big to overburn onto my 700 MB CDs, I burned it onto a DVD, and it runs okay. With the USB version, it will boot okay, and I can change Orca's voice settings, but as soon as I then go into installing Voxin, it quits working. I have tried a 2GB persistence, as well as a 3GB and a 4GB. The way I install Voxin is to copy the extracted folder into /home/ and then I go into terminal, and after running sudo su, I run: bash voxin-installer.sh and that normally works well, but I haven't gotten it to work on this thumb drive. I am running a more recent version of Vinux in a netbook as a dual-boot system, and Voxin works well on that system. I have used this Voxin with Ubuntu 10.04 as well. So it seems to me that it is the thumb drive. Any ideas?

Re: karmic and voxin
I'm trying to get voxin working in karmic beta x64 under VirtualBox. I can get the 'say' program working without error. However, I've failed so far to get it working with either speech-dispatcher or Gnome Speech services. To install, I used the voxin-update-0.24 program. I had to modify voxin-installer.sh to include 9.10 in a case statement, but then the install runs. However, Orca does not show ibmtts as an option when using SD, and it doesn't show IBM ViaVoice when using Gnome Speech Services. What steps did you use to install Voxin? Also, I didn't have any luck removing pulseaudio. All it did was fry my sound.

Voxin voices work great, espeak not so much in Ubuntu 9.04 x64
I'm running the latest code for atk, at-spi, orca, and compiz. I also have upgraded from the proposed repository. I have found that the old IBM Viavoice speech engine works great with pulseaudio and Gnome Speech Services, when using the IBM Viavoice GNOME Speech Driver. However, the espeak driver still gets cut off and choppy, and is basically unusable. I would recommend to anyone out there who prefers Viavoice over espeak to just install it, and don't bother removing pulseaudio or installing speech-dispatcher to get espeak working. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
