Re: Fedora 20 Speakup support?

Hi, Francisco.

A couple of months after I started using Fedora 17, Bill Acker helped me over the phone to get Speakup working. I used it, though with problems from time to time, until I somehow destroyed my Fedora 20 set-up. I cannot remember enough of setting up to help you much myself, but I think I found a working e-mail address for Bill on www.speakupmodified.org. The e-mail address I found is

wacker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I do know you will need the rpmfusion repo. It contains the staging modules (hope that's the right description) that include Speakup. I always tried to make sure that, when there was a kernel update, there was a similar update in kmod-staging. could not do this when using yum to update from Fedora 18 to 19 and 19 to 20, and both times I lost Speakup for a while, the kernel and the kmod-staging module updates apparently being out of sync at those times.

Also, I never found a way to get Speakup to talk on boot-up. I had to log in using Orca, open a terminal, and, using sudo, run a script I'd written to get Speakup working and change some settings more to my liking. I won't say you can't get it at boot-up, but I couldn't, even when tryiing to by enabling speakup.service. You very well may do better.

I hope this helps some.

Hi guys

I am using Fedora 20 at my desktop for several months however I haven't found a kernel with speakup enabled....
Is there some kernel with speakup built in? so difficult to compile kernel for a fedora newvie? I don't build a kernel since Redhat 6, and always was a pain :(

Take care

Regards,
Javier
