Hi, I am trying to install and run those console screen-readers on Ubuntu Mate 20, but failiing. I am even trying to have speech at bootup, but I can't find any setting to do that. Can anyone direct me where to get more info about using Fenrir or Speakup? With Fenrir, try as I might since yesterday, running it does not produce speech. Instead, I get this error, I tried looking for any defaults on the Internet, but seems I am hitting against a wall. The same applies with Yasr: It says connection was refused and I do not get any speech. With speakup, soon after installing it with sudo apt-get install espeakup speakup-tools, I get the following error: Errors were encountered while processing: espeakup E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) TIa, On Wednesday, 30 September 2020, at 19:23, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Some anonymous miscreant wrote: >> >> espeak preferable to fenrir but that's only because fenrir reads ansi line >> drawing characters when speaking. espeak suppresses those characters. > > You might want to file a bug report, asking for this to be turned from a > feature into an option. > > -r > > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list -- Ishe Chinyoka Be yourself; everyone else is already taken Find me and my Factual musings at: https://www.chinyoka.com/ _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
