I managed to break gnopernicus on dapper

[Enrico Zini]

Hello,

Dapper has released and it's time to get back to work writing my HOWTOs
for setting it up for Italian blind users.

Good news:

  festlex-ifd, festvox-italp16k and festvox-itapc16k are not in main or
  restricted, maybe I should ask for them to be added for edgy.  They
  are in universe, though: good!  Once they are installed, festival
  --tts --language italian just works!  That's a great thing, it means
  there's no need to patch festival list files to make them recognize
  italian, as it used to be in the case.

Bad news:

  I managed to totally break gnopernicus.  I did something in my system
  that broke something in a way that now even right after a reboot, when
  I try to go in the Preferences/Speech/Voices menu, it crashes:
  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344214

  Speech in general is also broken.  festival --tts --language italian
  still works fine, but test speech fails like this:

  enrico at cavazza:~$ test-speech
  1: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Speech_Dispatcher:proto0.3
  2: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.3
  
  Select a server: 1
  Attempting to activate OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Speech_Dispatcher:proto0.3.
  Server could not be initialized.
  enrico at cavazza:~$ test-speech
  1: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Speech_Dispatcher:proto0.3
  2: OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.3
  
  Select a server: 2
  Attempting to activate OAFIID:GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival:proto0.3.
  
  Enter desired gender ('m' or 'f'): m
  
  Enter desired locale, or 'all' to display all voices: all
  Exception Unknown CORBA exception id: 'IDL:omg.org/CORBA/COMM_FAILURE:1.0' getting voice list.
  enrico at cavazza:~$

Any idea how to fix that?


Ciao,

Enrico
