Hi all, there are currently running various threads that complain that the speech dispatcher's dectalk output module doesn't work if speech dispatcher is started early during the boot process (before login). I don't know what may cause this, but possibly the problem can be that the dectalk "say" program can't operate yet when speech-dispatcher is starting. If it communicates to some server and the server is not running yet, maybe the say command returns with an error and the output module dies. Could someone please look at what happens if you execute the say command in that phase? I don't own Dectalk and I don't want to install it as it's not free software. With Regards, Hynek Hanke
