I'm using Edgy myself, and before I tried the update-rc.d method with the startup script that someone suggested, I could start speakup manually with no problems. It's only been since I put that script in that I've been unable to run either Gnome *OR* Speakup. Gnome gives me a lovely (NOT) printed error message that I can't even read, and speakup doesn't start automatically or manually. I tried deleting the script I'd created with the speech-dispatcher and speechd-up commands in it, but I'm still getting the same error.
