Could you, please, after the situation happens, run ps -a | grep speech so that we can see whether speech-dispatcher and speechd-up is running or not (and so where is the problem). I understand this is difficult given you have no output from the computer. But hopefully you will be able to run the command, then restart speech and inspect the output later. There is a known bug in the current distribution of Speech Dispatcher which has been fixed in CVS. We will shortly be making a new bugfix release. Maybe it is this problem. > I'm using espeak as the software synthesizer, and I've seriously tweeked a few lines in spech-dispatcher, so that espeak is as responsive as ever. > And, for the most part it works fine. What interests me is this speech-loss issue. I'd be very interested in those changes. Maybe they could help other users too. With regards, Hynek
