Hi there: I also use Gentoo and I have Gnome and Gnopernicus installed. Now, I use to have it working well, but sometime in the last few days it has stopped working and I can not figure out why. The way I use to start it was, I would startx and then press alt-f2 and type "gnopernicus -s". The -s tells gnopernicus to start with speech. I only have festival installed, so it would come up talking. Now, when I run gnopernicus it comes up, but does not speak, it uses all of my CPU time as if there is some serious problems. My girlfriend said that the speech check box in the gnopernicus preferences is grayed out, but it does not generate any errors or seem to have any configuration problem. I don't know what to do... I think that problem might be something with the gnome-speech package, I say this because festival works just fine in the terminal and gnopernicus does not seem to have any problems with the rest of its functions. If anyone finds out what is up, please let me know!! David B. On Mon, May 16, 2005 at 09:04:59PM +1200, Arthur Pirika wrote: > Hi there, add me to the crowd...
