When you install a new kernel, you should now have another kernel in your /boot/grub/menu.lst file. The lines you edit start with kernel and at the end of them should contain speakup_synth=<synth_name> where <synth_name> is your synthesiser's name. One amendment to what I just said, the speakup command should be after the main kernel command but can be before any drive optomizations. You might try typing speakup_synth=<synth_name> afteryour system beeps during system startup. Sinse you just installed a new kernel, arrow down twice when the system beeps, type the speakup_synth=<synth_name> command then press enter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glenn@home" <GlennErvin at cableone.net> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, May 29, 2005 12:08 PM Subject: missing Grub entry > I just installed Debian kernel 2.6.8 something. > The other option was 2.4.27-speakup. > I was not given the option to edit the grub loader after installing, so I > have booted up with Knoppix, and I am trying to figure out where to find the > grub file to add something like: > text speakup_synth=txprt > Or should I add: > speakup speakup_synth=txprt > I might have to re-partition and install again if I cannot figure this out. > I am also having some difficulty accessing the various partitions with > Knoppix. > I did su, but I often get the "permission denied" response. > Thanks in advance for any help here. > Glenn > > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
