Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher refused to start with error code, stating this as a reason: You've gone through /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf, and have adjusted it according to your setup, right? Does spd-say work as root? Do you have a $HOME/.cache/speech-dispatcher/log/speech-dispatcher.log? If yes, anything out of the ordinary in there? > When I looked at > grep speech-dispatcher /var/log/daemon.log > All I saw was: > Jul 9 05:36:44 trainserve speech-dispatcher[4767]: speech-dispatcher disabled; edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher. > So I went in there and it says > run=no > So I changed that to yes. No go; same error. Unless you know you have a reason to run speech-dispatcher system wide, I'd suggest leaving that as run=no Greg -- web site: http://www.gregn.net gpg public key: http://www.gregn.net/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) If we haven't been in touch before, e-mail me before adding me to your contacts. -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@xxxxxx _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
