[Grml] grml: speakup/espeak doesn't work because espeak/espeak-ng can't talk

[Eigeldinger Simon]

Hi John,

tried with 2017.05. that works now. at least on a hp probook 650 g2.
though espeak seems to spew out a bunch of error messages when using by itself that it can't find jack and other parts.
though espeakup seems to work fine.
the hp probook is also a different computer with just one sound card.


i guess it might be difficult when you have multiple cards or hdmi connectors which also provide sound output.
i have one of those machines and i have some trouble with that.
the system seems to select the wrong one and so you haven't any sound at all.
i guess the only solution would be braille on that machine or ssh.
or is there a program or script to select more than one soundcard?


btw can you have a look at a daily build?
i don't know if those do fine as well.


Btw i wasn't lucky with the ssh server.
Ssh=password seems not to work at the boot prompt.
Though starting the ssh server manually and setting the password works.

Greetings and thanks,
Simon

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I was able to boot the grml64-full_2017.05.iso in a virtualbox virtual machine and got speech. I have not tried the 32 bit image. I can probably try the 32 bit image if necessary. But you should first try to provide more information. Try enabling ssh when you boot and then cut/paste the results of the commands you are using to start speakup.
