I have a file called /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf, which contains: options speakup synth=soft I have tried: options speakup synth=soft quiet=1 and: options speakup synth=soft options speakup_soft quiet=1 Am I doing something wrong here with the first version? The first word I hear on boot is "failed!". I think it is part of this sequence: " Setting up ALSA...done. Starting Speakup/espeak connector : espeakup failed! Cannot connect to server socket err = No such file or directory Cannot connect to server socket jack server is not running or cannot be started Setting console screen modes. Skipping font and keymap setup (handled by console-setup). Setting up console font and keymap...done. Setting kernel variables ...done. Setting sensors limits. startpar: service(s) returned failure: espeakup ... failed! INIT: Entering runlevel: 2 " Haven't tried to diagnose the espeak thing yet--speakup is working, so I'm not sure what's up with that.
