Subject: Re: I need to get speakup to wirk. Suggestions?
Howdy,
If speakup is making too much trouble you can try yasr or fenrir what you can start without need to change something at the bios or kernel. Do you have GUI access via orca to launch/install stuff?
Yasr:

Fenrir

Brltty (good for braille )

Just to have some alternatives.
Cheers Chrys

I still get the same "key not available" error. Does that mean for
certain that I'm still stuck with that acursed secure boot? The
sighted person who came over last said he turned it off. But then he's
the one who unintentionally deleted Windows...
Has anyone here had luck turning off secure boot with mokutil?
sudo mokutil --disable-validation
It asks you to create a password that you enter on reboot. I don't
know if I'll be able to hear the password prompt.

If you run ubuntu, speakup should already be in your kernel.
At your terminal in the GUI, do sudo su
then modprobe speakup_soft start=1
You should just get back to a prompt.
Then from your console, run espeakup
If it works, you can automate all of this.
Also make sure you have sound in the console. with some versions of
Ubuntu, you need to add the user to group audio.
HTH, Willem

I'm using Orca on Ubuntu MATE. I want to use several terminal
applications because I'm unsatisfied with the desktop apps I currently
use.
Orca's terminal support sucks.
I've installed speakup, but it never runs when I switch to terminal.
Any suggestions for fixes I might try? Thanks.
