I tried everything, but I can't get the latest Fenrir from git to run. I
installed all of the necessary Python3 packages. It starts fine and shows a
bunch of output, but shortly crashes. I'm running Debian testing 64-bit. I
think it's related to dbus but I know nothing about it or how to fix it.
I'm forwarding this for those who may be interested. I expect it to show up
in Debian testing soon.
The current version of lynx is 2.8.8

Tony Baechler replying to myself. There was a minor regression, so make that
dev.13 instead. The only change was to fix the regression. Sorry!

Howdy my Frind,
thanks for your response.
Fenrir uses "logind" for detect TTYs that running an X server to ignore
it. (this is needed to not consume fenrir shortcuts on X). LoginD is a
part of systemd.
I can catch up the error quite easy. But then we need a fallback

There was a company called Levelstar who produced the Icon. It ran a 2.X

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. Producing an audiobook is
easy. Even if a company had to be hired, it wouldn't cost too much. Oh, it
wouldn't be cheap, but I don't think it would be outrageously expensive
either. Amazon owns Audible and ACX who produces them.

Hi all,
I've compiled the Debian kernel 4.10.7 source with the latest Speakup
patches from speakup2.tgz. They are only for AMD64, but if there is demand,
I'll compile for x86 32-bit. They should be identical to the Debian 4.10.7
packages except for the Speakup patches. I also uploaded 4.3.3 an
No, probably not. Emacspeak is audio only. Sometimes I like that,

Hi Lars,
Our focus is usually on keeping things very low-cost, in order to get

But we could change this if we could get contributors who care

Luke,
In Vinux 5.1 the best way to get console logins to speak is to indeed add your
user to the audio group. The next time you reboot and start speechd-up, switch
to a console, it'll read you your login prompt. Ok, so it isn't the most
preferred way, but it does indeed wo
