<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm hoping some of you might have some ideas for me
to try getting Orca going on Skywave Linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><A
href="">https://skywavelinux.com/</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Skywave Linux is an image of Ubuntu with the mate
desktop and i3 window manager, whatever that is.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Here's what it reads on that page about
that:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>"Skywave Linux is a 64 bit system, built on a base
of <BR>Ubuntu 20.04 LTS,<BR>uses the MATE Desktop and i3 Window Manager. It is
the additional digital signal processing, networking, and signal decoding
applications that set Skywave<BR>Linux apart from its original base
software."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I installed onto a thumb drive, I got as far
as getting espeak to say something, but spd-say hasn't worked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This is on a VmWare session.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've done apt update and apt install gnome-orca and
apt install speech-dispatcher and apt install alsa-base pulseaudio and apt
install speakup.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Of course I used sudo and I did them
successively, when I couldn't get anything else to work, I would try one, and
test for TTS, and then try the next, and so on.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The command speaker-test -c 2 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>does give me the white sound, so I know that the
speakers aren't muted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm wondering if this distro has removed a
repository that might be needed for my installs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>When I was doing all this on the thumb drive, I was
able to SSH into it from my Raspberry PI and I heard it reading out something
about some things not in this repository.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Would it be a bad idea to add a main repository
where all the packages I need to get it talking are located?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If there is a chance, what is the repository where
I can get either all that Orca needs, or regular Ubuntu packages?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Since I'm doing all this without feedback, I am
hoping it won't be too long a command for the repository.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The VmWare install so far has not opened itself to
SSH, so that is why I have to do this without speech output.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I've done the sudo add-apt-repository command in
the past, so I'm somewhat familiar with adding a repository.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks for any help.</FONT></DIV>
