Hi, in Slint if requested espeakup is started just before logging in, so the user hears the end of the startup sequence, as pasted below for instance: <pasted lines> ALSA_CARD not set in /etc/espeakup.conf, using the default. Voice not set in /etc/espeakup.conf, LANG=fr_FR.utf8, using fr for espeakup. Starting espeakup with voice fr No speakup settings saved for espeakup, so nothing to restore. Welcome to Slint 15.0 Linux 5.19.16 on tty1 ici login: didier Password: Last login: Mon Oct 17 15:17:06 on tty1 Linux 5.19.16. May you live in uninteresting times. -- Chinese proverb didier@ici:~$ <end of pasted lines> A startup script does this, if executable. I assume that this can be done in a system using systemd (Slint does not), but have to let knowledgeable people tell you how.
