It looks to me as if speakup did not get compiled into the kernel
package for Ubuntu 21.04/Hirsute. I upgraded to 20.04 and the 5.11.0-18
kernel and now I can't even load the speakup module. There's no file
speakup.ko on the system and grepping the kernel config file for
"SPEAKUP" yields nothing.
I'd like to file a bug report with Canonical but I can't figure out how
to create a Launchpad account. I went to the Ubuntu wiki and found a
page on reporting bugs. But when I click on the link to create a
Launchpad account, I get nothing. Very frustrating, thwarted at every turn.
