Re: [orca-list] orca and Hardy - no speech - ibmTTS dependancy

Hi All:
Something tells me this might be an AT-SPI infrastructure issue. I realize this isn't the most accessibility-friendly test to ask you to try, but if you have easy access to sighted assistance to run "accerciser", the GUI *should* list a number of apps in the left column. If no apps appear, then it seems like the AT-SPI infrastructure is not starting.
This makes me wonder if we should add a "--list-apps" feature to Orca and/or accerciser to just output the list of known apps in the AT-SPI infrastructure. This would serve as a quick check to tell if things seem OK along that front.

Doing "aplay -l" will tell you what sound drivers are loaded.
But if test-speech is working then I don't see how it can be a sound driver problem. Yes gnome-speech works fine in the Hardy audio setup.
I would suggest redownloading and installing Orca (following the download/install info on the wiki). Sorry I can't be more help.

Yep, just tried. No joy.
Is there a command-line way to find out which sound drivers are in use? My understanding is that pulse audio is the default, but that this is not a problem for gnome-speech users, only for speech dispatcher users. Is this correct?

Yeah Espeak talks no problem for me.  Have you tried running orca --setup

Well, for me, test-speech does work (tried espeak and IBMTTS and they both 
work from test-speech).
Does your orca speak with espeak? I can't get speech at all. I just tried 
deleting my .orca tree from my home directory, hoping that it would
restore my speech driver settings to use espeak instead of IBMTTS,
thinking that this might be my issue. However, no joy and no speech.

Hi,
I've been trying to get ttsynth to work on Hardy as well. Although in my 
case I installed Hardy from the live CD.
I downloaded ttsynth from the website and tried installing but it failed 
because of the library you mention.  Simply installing
libstdc++2.10.glibc2.2 didn't do it. I needed to (manually) download and 
install gnome-speech-ibmtts (got it from the debian website) but this
failed
because of dependancy problems. Running "apt-get -f install" fixed most 
of
them but I still needed to download and install libgnome-speech-dev
(again
from debian) to continue. This failed to install however because of some kind of conflict with the test-speech package also being part of another 
already installed package, gnome-speech7 or something.

Dunno if this is relevant to your problem if you had ttsynth working on
Gutsy (and test-speech works for you) because I can't get ttsynth to talk 
at
all in Hardy.

I needed to install this for Ubuntu 7.10 as well, so I just installed it 
on
Hardy via ssh, but orca still remains stubbornly silent.

Greetings all.
I am writing to inform you all, that as of Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, to be
released in April next year, the
Ttsynth/Ibmtts speech synthesizer will no longer work, due to a library 
that it depends on, having been removed from
the Ubuntu archives. This library was a left over piece from the gcc
2.95
and glibc 2.2 toolchain, that was kept in
ubuntu for compatibility reasons. It is actually a wonder that it has
stayed around this long.

I appreciate the fact that there are many of you out there that use
this
synth daily, however this decision was out
of my hands, and it is a matter for the vendors to sort out. I would
encourage users of this synth to contact the
vendor from which you purchased your license, to ask them for a proper 
resolution to this issue. The library that
ttsynth/ibmtts currently depends on is libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2, which is 
the library that was removed from Ubuntu
hardy.

Thanks in advance for your understanding.
