Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell XPS m420 machine. Recently after some updates, speakup stopped working. When I try to add it using modprobe, I got a message along the lines of "Fatal: error inserting speakup_soft /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/updates/dkms/speakup_soft.co: invalid module format". I ran modinfo for speakup_soft, and here's what I got: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.35-25-generic/updates/dkms/speakup_soft.ko version: 2.6 license: GPL description: Speakup userspace software synthesizer support author: Kirk Reiser <kirk at braille.uwo.ca> srcversion: 7B68183C049F135DCDCA2AC depends: speakup vermagic: 2.6.35-24-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 686 parm: start:Start the synthesizer once it is loaded. (short) So apparently the module was being built against the wrong kernel version. I purged the module using module assistant, then removed the speakup-source package with aptitude. Reinstalled the package (again with aptitude), reinstalled the module with module-assistant, same problem. I figured that maybe the Ubuntu Repository was a bit out of date. So I removed the module/package again. This time I downloaded the tarball from the speakup website. I built it against the default kernel (with make/make modules_install), same problem. Thinking that maybe the default kernel wasn't the one I was using for some reason, I built it again with the 2.6.35-25-generic kernel supplied in the KERNELDIR with make. Same problem. Can anyone provide any help?
