HI there,
I personally don't use the archinstall script. It's relatively new
anyway, but I actually prefer to set things up manually. That way I can
have it exactly the way I want it. My system worked perfectly until
something broke with ALSA. I managed to update the rest of my system, as
long as I don't let it touch alsa packages, espeak, or espeakup. It
talks if I update those packages, but it does this thing where the
keyboard lags while typing and it hiccups at the end of some phrases. I
reverted using a snapshot to a pre-upgrade state and then updated
everything but the previously mentioned packages and things work now.
This isn't a long term workable solution, but it got things running for
now until the developers fix the broken packages.

I tried installing a clear archlinux installation using archinstall and
though the installer talked when booted correctly, the installed system
failed to talk with espeak-ng and espeak. I'm going to try two things
next.
First boot the installed archlinux system and hit down-arrow then enter
during the boot process and see if that turns speech on.
If that fails, the next thing I'll try is to install a new version of
jenux and see if that comes up talking. I usually go with a minimal
installation (no desktops) since in the past such installations were more
stable for me.
When I tried the archlinux installs recently, I chose minimal rather than
desktop install choices. Before I knew about the archinstall script, I
installed archlinux according to directions in the large
installation-guide and have braille notes for that kind of installation.

Good day all,
hello Joseph.
I saw a couple of messages earlier about ALSA issues on Arch Linux with
espeakup. I can't find them now though. The latest versions of alsa,
speakup, linux kernel, etc. cause the speach to lag while typing. Is there a
workaround to this, packages I should not upgrade right now, etc? I can
revert my system to a previous state, but I need to know how to avoid this
problem when I go to update packages going forward. Also, anyone know if a
fix is in the works? Obviously just permanently using older package versions
isn't a good solution.
can you describe problem in more details? or maybe you can record sound?
Thanks in advance.
