[Bug 692996] Re: No /etc/init.d script

[Josep Pujadas-Jubany]

12.04
orca uses speech-dispatcher and festival is not available unless you start it as a service.
After installing festival packages (speed-dispatcher-festival included) many steps must be done to have festival running with orca:

sudo install /usr/share/doc/festival/examples/festival.init /etc/init.d/festival
sudo update-rc.d festival defaults
sudo gedit /etc/default/festival
* Add the line RUN_FESTIVAL=yes
sudo /etc/init.d/festival start
* Or restart the computer

Next time you start orca you could select festival as voice engine.
