Greetings from Ubuntu

[Marcel Oats]

Hi Henrik, I tried these directions with the 64-bit version, and it 
still didn't allow ubiquity to speak.  I am using the daily build 
from 5 October.

I'm going to download the latest 32-bit version, but don't think it 
should make a difference.  Of course I'm using it on a 64-bit Amd processor!
