I can proudly count myself as the third person in the world who experiences this error! Oh but alas, I cannot figure out how to vote for it. lol > > So apparently this is a bug to do with alsa. Does this mean that I have to rout the sound on the desktop to pulseaudio? Could it be that I slipped something and set alsa as the sound manager instead of pulseaudio? I do not remember trying to do this, but maybe it's worth asking given the nature of the bug that I am experiencing. > > What do you guys think? > > Justin > On 19-01-2012, at 19:35, Rob Whyte wrote: > >> Justin, >> >> http://home.thefudge.net/vinux/pulseuser >> http://home.thefudge.net/vinux/pulsesystem >> >> >> >> I guess you did not see the error either. >> Again if you had Vinux the speechd-up package I would say is preferable, it has been modified from what is in Ubuntu integrating updates from ospeakup I think. >> If you are using espeak it doesn't really matter anyway. >> >> Cheers >> >> http://home/thefudge.net/vinux/pulseuser >> >> >> >> On 20/01/12 14:38, Justin Harford wrote: >>> Hi there >>> >>> I cannot seem to get those URLs to work.

Would it be better to run speechd-up? I read in one place that speechd-up had sort of fallen out of use, but I was looking at some old emails from the vinux list that suggested that people were preferring speechd-up to espeakup. >>> >>> Regards >>> Justin Harford >>> On 19-01-2012, at 19:15, Rob Whyte wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, >>>> please see the following two links: >>>> I would have paste binned but I am using the new gtk which is screwing stuff up on precise. >>>> http://home/thefudge.net/vinux/pulseuser >>>> http://home.thefudge.net/vinux/pulsesystem >>>> >>>> pulsesystem >>>> pulseuser >>>> both with 755 permissions and placed in your path e.g /usr/local/bin/ >>>> >>>> >>>> >>>> On 20/01/12 14:03, Justin Harford wrote: >>>>> I don't have a vinux install.

Now the problem is that I cannot have speakup and orca running at the same time. it's either one or the other, I think depending on the order that I log in. If I log into unity first, orca works and speakup doesn't, and if I log on to the console first, then speakup speaks and orca doesn't. >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> I'm pretty sure that this is because I have not set pulseaudio to run systemwide. What do you all think? I've been searching the internet for the last several hours for instructions on how to make pulseaudio run in systemwide mode in ubuntu 11.10, and have essentially turned up nothing. It looks like they really don't want you to figure this out. Has anyone found a solution for this problem? >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> Thanks much. >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>> Regards >>>>>>>>> Justin Harford >>>>>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>>>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>>>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>>> _______________________________________________ >>>>> Speakup mailing list >>>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> Speakup mailing list >>>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Speakup mailing list >>> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >>> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup >> _______________________________________________ >> Speakup mailing list >> Speakup at braille.uwo.ca >> http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
