Guys, I'm totally wedged this time. I *did* have the text-to-speech stuff working on the KDE desktop) on my antique Kayak. I don't know how because the Kayay has been temporarily disconnected. But now witha newer and blindingly better Dell: no-joy. I've installed several of the festival ports, I've installed ksayit and the ktts stuff. I had to install the kde3* stuff.
Below are the errors that have stumped me: Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed kbuildsycoca running... DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. QObject::connect: No such signal KTTSDLib::signalCallPreferences() QObject::connect: (sender name: 'KTTSD-Library') QObject::connect: (receiver name: 'MainWindow') kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KSayIt/FXPlugin not found Session management error: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed There are a few KDE apps that just-work--or *used to*. The tts apps and that konqueror has ktts built-in is one reason I use konqueror now and then. The "Session management error" message sounds like I'm missing something on the ssh side; but ssh should have nothing to do with this application. So: Can anybody out there clue me in? If thisis a sound card problem, I have not yet changed my "vchan" setting.... thanks! gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public Service Unix _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
