That's not a failure. Or, it's a failure to understand what's going on. Unless you put festival_server into the background: festival_server & That's exactly how it will behave. Do that, then do something like: pidof festival You should get a number back. That's the process ID. Next, do something like: festival --tts .bashrc Note that any text file would work where I indicate .bashrc. Notice also, that you're now a long way from blaming gnopernicus for anything.
