Hello all,
I am new to the list here. I have been running Vinux in a VM
environment. I am taking a networking class at college now and I need
to install ubuntu server for part of the class. How do I get speakup
installed and running in ubuntu server 12.04? Ihave been looking on
google but I can't seem to find anything. I am just not sure what to
be looking for
Thank you,

Hi Greg
the server and GUI versions of 13.04 run the same kernel, with speakup
loaded.
To get speech in precise-server (AFTER INSTALL) you need to install
alsa-utils first
sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
alsamixer #so you can turn on sound .
#you need OO under each slider
# change by hitting "m". "mm" (for
Mute) is the
#only alternative to "OO"
sudo apt-get install espeakup -y
modprobe speakup_soft start=1
sh /etc/init.d/espeakup start
I find that I have to start speech manually each time, so to fix that
use tour favourite editor (nano in my case)
sudo nano /etc/modules #add the line
speakup_soft start=1
#save and restart . It should come up talking.
Installing precise - server will need sighted assisance. I have done
many installs and reinstalls in an attempt to come up with documentation
that could step VIP's through it, but there are many alternatives,
depending on previous choices.
I was hoping that accepting defaults would work, using the entire hard
drive, then patching time zone, host name , Keyboard and so on once
speech was running.
I have assisted one person , speaking on mangler, and him sending me
photo's of his screen via Dropbox. (We do have a common folder)
Speech for the install would be handy, there are a few users working on
it, but no joy yet.
maybe one day someone with some knowledge will have time to have a look.
