I would have thought anyone needing orca would have it running before changing configuration files, thus, to reproduce this issue:
1. install Ubuntu 10.10 2. install Orca 3. run orca to insure it works 3. cd ~/.speech-dispatcher/ 4. gedit speechd.conf 5. cursor down until you get to espeak-generic 6. remove the # at the front of the line 7. save the file 8. restart 9. start orca preferences, choose espeak-generic under speech tab, Speech synthesizer 10. you can now have no speech in orca, even though it was speaking until changing the synthesizer. Changing the Speech synthesizer will allow orca to speak again. Stopping and starting orca, logging in and out, restarting the system all have no effect getting orca to speak with the espeak-generic speech synthesizer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571956 Title: sd_generic breaks speech-dispatchter -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
