Thanks a lot for your patience folks. You are
always great. Tom, you were very
perceptive, the problem was more complicated. Gnome did not load correctly because it could not resolve the hostname of my dhcp. I am connected to the internet via a wireless card using dhcp. The problem is that the dhcp changes every day. Yesterday my root prompt looked like this: root dhcp-533-13 and to day it is root dhcp-531-23 . Thus I have to change the line correspponding to the local host in the etc/hosts. I am afraid I have to edit this file every day, or else, I should find another way of doing it so that gnome will be able to resolve the hostname automatically.

Hi, Cris. If speech has been muted just go in to layer 8 and press the numpad-2 command to reset volume back to default values. If that doesn't work then something more serious may be at hand. ----- Original Message ----- From: cris To: gnome-accessibility-list gnome org Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 6:24 PM Subject: recovering gnopernicus speech, how? hi folks, I lost speech with gnopernicus. I no longer know what is going on. What is the file that has the speech parameters, like volume, rate, pitch etc? I believe that I inadvertently set the speech at the lowest volume. Cheers, Cris |
