Hmmm, now it's working. I never did reboot. I switched to the minuet machine with my kvm and found espeakup working. I still see no error neither on the root console, which has not returned after the by hand start with -d, nor via the ssh from the concerto machine. So, it seems it will work after some amount of time?
