using espeak to echo the amount of RAM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
I'm trying to set up a system on an old computer.
I have an Intel NUC and I put a stick of RAM into it and a new HD, and I 
booted to Ubuntu 18.04 that has Chirp software on it.
My plan is to install that old Ubuntu with Chirp, because the new Chirp is 
no longer accessible, I think because of it using flatpak, so if I want to 
use Chirp, it's likely on an old Linux that isn't using Python 3.

I put in the memory and drive, but I don't know how much RAM that particular 
stick is, it could be 1, 2, or 8 GB.
When I start Orca, it starts and then closes out.
I can open the terminal and do espeak, such as echoing its IP address with
hostname -I | espeak
I was hoping to SSH into it, but SSH may not be installed, but this version 
of Ubuntu is too old to get anything from a repository.
But if I can find out the amount of RAM I installed, I might be able to 
determine if I need to try another stick of RAM, because I'm guessing that 
if it is just a 1 GB RAM, maybe that is why Orca is starting and stopping.
So, my question is,
Is there a command that I can pipe the output to eSpeak to hear the 
information on how much RAM there is?
Like I did with the hostname -I command.
Thanks in advance.
