Yeah, I don't know about that error message. I would try rebooting. You
probably want to make the speakup_soft module load automatically each
time you reboot. To do that, type:
echo speakup_soft >> /etc/modules
You need to do that as root. If you don't get speech when you reboot,
try running espeakup by hand.

Thank you. I am glad I asked because there is much less

The modprobe command worked fine as far as that there were no
errors reported. The apt-get install worked until the script
tried to start speakup and then the following happened: Output follows.

What I do know is that this system is a Dell Optiplex
from probably around 2000 or so and the on-board sound card is a
built-in cs4236 which works well with aplay, amixer and alsa in
general but has never been too eager to work with let's say,
ubuntu live CD's and other bootable CD's that talk on most
systems. This device shows up as card 0 and aplay -l and arecord
-l both produce good results so I may need to do some more
experimentation to see what else is wrong.
Again, thanks.

If you are using a stock debian kernel, you don't have to add speakup. You
just have to load it. I am guessing though that you are asking how to load
speakup, right? Well, that depends on which speech synth you are using. I
am going to guess you want to use software speech, right? In that case,
you
will have to add the espeak package. Here are the steps:
1. Type "modprobe speakup_soft"
2. Type "apt-get install espeakup"
Your machine should start talking.
technically not speakup.

The subject is really the whole message. The wheezy
installation is on a system with 384 MB of ram so there is no
orca but I have seen speakup run on less although this is
scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Any good ideas are welcome. Thank you.
