Hi Gene: In the newer grml images they don't try to start speakup under script control. You wait for the boot up period to complete, which is usually indicated by a beedly-bop set of tones from the PC speaker. At that point you are at a menu asking about your choice of network options or something like that. If you just hit return it'll drop to a shell prompt, not bash, at which point you can type modprobe speakup_soft or whatever synth you want. Then start espeakup by hand if software synth was what you chose. On Fri, 14 Jun 2013, acollins at icsmail.net wrote: > Hello all. I'm having problems starting speakup on grml.
