Howdy,
// Do I necessarily have to have pulseaudio? can't I manage with pipewire?
you can have pipewire as well. you can have anything what produce sound
:). But i cant say anything about that sorry.
i don't know about the concept in the background. If pipewire has an
similar concept as pulse audio (per user instance and isolation level),
you might need an similar workarounds here. but the configuration
scripts might not work then.
if you like experiments, its worth a try. if you find a way, let me
know, then we can integrate a configure-pipewire as well.
// I ran the scripts, and i did hear fenrir's startup sound icon, but
only when running Fenrir as current user, not as root, even after
running the script you suggested.
yea this sounds like the symptom what the pulse configuration scripts
solve. fenrir cant run as user currently (its planned, but not yet
complete). so fenrir dont get any input data to process (so the
screeenreader cant read your screen :), its a non screen reader XD)

Thanks again.

Howdy,
do you have the requirements for the generic sound / voice drivers
installed?
To get sure, reinstall it execute:
sudo pacman -S sox espeak-ng xclip
sox is used for play sound, espeak for voice output in the default
configuration, xclip is a funny toy to let fenrir share the clipboard
between your GUI and Terminal.
start fenrir for testing in foreground - you can stop it using CTRL + C
sudo fenrir
did you hear the startup sound? fenrir plays a little soundicon at
startup.
if not, then pulseaudio is not configured.
short story execute:
# configure user
/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh
# configure root
sudo /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh
# need to restart that the configuration for both get active
restart
then retry
sudo fenrir
long storry: fenrir needs by default to run as root to collect the
data on your screen or caputre the input devices. if fenrir speaks or
creates sound, it does this as root user. you wont hear sound of an
other user by pulseaudio (sound server) design. We need to transport
the sound created as root to the sound server you have running as
user to finally hear the sound.
fenrir provides 2 scripts (see above) to configure the root puse
audio to send the data to your user and configure user pulse audio to
listen to the sound sent by root and play it.

Hello there,
Thanks so much, now, that part of the problem is solved!
The other part, how ever, that is not solved, is that fenrir doesn't
speak with espeak, or espeak-ng.
Do I have to set something somewhere for that to happen?
Thanks again.
Best regards.

Howdy Francisco,
i dont know why those libs are not an dependency by
python-pyenchant if those are spread warnings. Maybe this should be
reported to the package maintainer. But anyway.
you can ask pacman what package contains the specific file you need
by "sudo pacman -Fy filename". here i did this for for example in
libvokko.so:
10:14 [chrys@blackbeast ~] :) $ sudo pacman -Fy libvoikko.so

so the package you need for libvokko.so is "libvoikko"
to silence out all the warnings do this:
sudo pacman -S libvoikko nuspell hspell
this install all 3 (IMO optional dependency's, what should not
create a warning, but well, it is like it is)
i use irssi as IRC (commandline) client. there is also Pidgin (as
graphical client). both are very nice.
looking forward to see you in IRC :).

Hello there,
I managed to install one of the libraries, but not the other two,
so thanks for that.
Also, thanks for suggesting to use yay, I just installed it, I
didn't know yaourt was deprecated.
My question now is, and this'll be dum, what are recommended IRC
clients? how do I get them working? what should I know before
joining an IRC channel, what ever it might be?
Thanks again.
Best regards.
Francisco.

Maybe join him there?

Hello everyone,
I just downloaded fenrir-git from the AUR using yaourt.
When I try to run fenrir with the command
fenrir
in a terminal, how ever, i get fenrir's startup sound, and this:
[francisco@Blueblink ~]$ fenrir
** (process:7008): WARNING **: 20:12:45.374: Error loading

** (process:7008): WARNING **: 20:12:45.377: Error loading
plugin: libnuspell.so
.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Any ideas on how to fix it, and no speech either.
Thank you for any answer.
Best regards.
Francisco.
