Hello everyone,
I'm seeing some really major weirdness on my dapper
system, I believe with gnome-speech, but I'm not even sure whether gnome-speech
itself is the culprit.
Basically, what happens is that upon booting my
machine, I log into gnome, and then get no speech when attempting to run Orca or
gnopernicus, either with Festival or Fonix DECtalk.
A couple interesting points. This issue does
not occur 100% of the time. If I reboot 5 times, I would say 4 out of the
5 times, I get no speech, and then the fifth time, everything is fine.
When the problem does occur, if I issue the reboot command from a virtual
console, then speech momentarily starts as processes are being shut
down.
If I run test-speech before ever logging
into X, both Festival and DECtalk consistently work as expected.
I've tried rebuilding gnome-speech, but to no
avail.
i'm typically not one to shy away from a bit of
troubleshooting, but the frustrating thing is that I really don't have anything
to sink my teeth into. I have spoken to others who have had similar
problems, but for the most part, the lack of speech seems to be the
exception rather than the rule, where as on my system, the opposite is the
case.
If anyone can offer ideas, they would be very much
appreciated. At this point, I'm becoming increasingly tempted to torch the
whole thing and simply reinstall, but I hate leaving problems like
this unresolved.
