By then, all hardware is up, including sound. This is very strange. We should attempt to eliminate speechd-up from the possible places where this problem might appear. Please can you repeat this proces (so that dectalk wouldn't work with speechd-up) and try to run run_test basic.test in src/tests after you login? Under what user is speech-dispatcher executed on your system in the init script? Does this user have permissions to acces the say command? Regards, Hynek
