big problem, please help, speakup and debian

[John G. Heim]

I haven't used speechd-up for quite some time. If you like espeakup, you 
don't need speech-dispatcher and speechd-up. You can just install the 
espeakup package. If you're running squeeze, you can just 'apt-get install 
espeakup'. But even if you're running lenny, you can download the package 
from a squeeze repository and install it. The package from squeezwe works in 
lenny.

If you must use speech-dispatcher and speechd-up, you will need to follow 
the installation instructions at the freesoft web site. These are somme of 
the best instructions I've ever seen because they include tips on how to 
tell if what you've done so far is working.  The problem is that just saying 
that you don't get any speech after installing speech-dispatcher and 
speechd-up isn't enough information to help you because there are about a 
million ways that might not work.

Hi.
Well, I tried everything, but it didn't work, so I had to remove lenny and
install squeze.
Not good since I was happy with lenny.

I've got problems with it. Speech-dispatcher works, but not speechd-up
when loading that I get no speech at all.
What can this be?
And when I shut down speechd-up and start espeakup, I get sound, but first a
message about jack server, or something like that.

Also, the soundcard thing doesn't work.
I've got no modutils.d/alsa file.

Are you saying that you are running a stock debian kernel from lenny
(2.6.26) and you've installed the 2.6.26 speakup-modules package and it
still hangs?  That is odd.

I'd reinstall the speakup-modules package.

# apt-get install --reinstall speakup-modules-2.6.26-amd64

Of course, you might have to chage the amd64 part to 686 or whatever to
match your kernel.

Hi.
This doesnt help. it compiles the 3.0 version that belongs to that
2.6.26-2-686 kernel even though I'm running the older one. 2.6.26-1-686.
These modules compiles for both the kernels, and when I load any of them,
linux hangs, and stops responding.
what the f... is this!

I thought there were speakup modules for squeeze in apt... Anyway if
there isn't for some reason there is always the speakup-source package
you can revert to for compiling speakup for your debian kernel. I can't
remember if you can use module-assistant for speakup, if you can it
should be as simple as running the command:
module-assistant a-i speakup
While running the kernel you want to compile against. I think there is
an option for compiling it against a kernel other than the running
kernel but can't remember it now.
