[Bug 1496542] Re: Running processes left after disabling screen reader
Howdy, also seeing speech-dispatcher running on 19.10. Some anecdotal info is that I restarted and tried enabling and then disabling Screen Reader on the login screen and it hasn't appeared in my sessions today since, including a few more restarts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1496542 Title: Running processes left after disabling screen reader To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speech-dispatcher/+bug/1496542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1496542] Re: Running processes left after disabling screen reader
Hello all, What's described here is not a bug but the old behavior of speech- dispatcher. Orca is a screen reader, the speech output uses speech-dispatcher. speech-dispatcher is a daemon that run in background. In the new release like 16.04 or newer speech-dispatcher stops when there is no client connected to it.

[Bug 1496542] Re: Running processes left after disabling screen reader
Do we know what's launching the process? It's not systemd as I checked. There should be a workaround, no? I'm going to try to set /usr/bin/speech-dispatcher and the binaries under /usr/lib/speech-dispatcher-modules with chmod -x to see what happens. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1496542 Title: Running processes left after disabling screen reader To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speech-dispatcher/+bug/1496542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1496542] Re: Running processes left after disabling screen reader
I, too, never used the screen reader, but have been experiencing the "phantom" speech-dispatcher processes. I notice them especially because they seem to interfere with other sounds that are playing (modifying the other sound with a "fuzzy" sound effect). I have found that opening one or more web sites apparently starts the speech-dispatcher processes. Facebook may be one of the sites. Today I had opened a link from Facebook to a video on Mashable and the speech- dispatcher started sometime in the middle of the video. HOWEVER when I opened those two sites separately, the speech-dispatcher did not start. I suppose it may be some advertising on Facebook or Mashable triggering it. The speech-dispatcher processes are easy to see using pavucontrol / "Pulse Audio Volume Control" on the Playback tab, and in fact just making pavucontrol active often eliminates the "fuzzy" sound. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1496542 Title: Running processes left after disabling screen reader To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speech-dispatcher/+bug/1496542/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1496542] Re: Running processes left after disabling screen reader
I have encountered a very similar problem. I had never used the screen reader. I'm guessing that something had glitched in my system. But I had heard a random sound while using my system and I checked the running processes and I had found these processes running.
