oops, I see that I made a typo below. I upgraded from 20.10/Groovy to
21.04/Hirsute. With the pandemic, I keep getting 2020 and 2021 mixed up.
It seems like we should just redo 2020.
Anyway, I am pretty sure speakup worked in ubuntu Groovy. That makes
sense because Groovy has a 5.8 kernel, before speakup was moved into
mainstream. I would guess that what happened is that when speakup was
moved from staging to mainstream, it didn't get compiled for the Ubuntu
5.11 kernel. Just a bug.
Since my last message, i recompiled a kernel and it is working. So it's
just a matter of getting ubuntu to check those boxes in menuconfig.

John,
Do you mean that you upgraded from 20.04 to Ubuntu 21.04/Hirsute?

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.
