<p>Hi David,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am currently using Ubuntu-Mate 22.04 and I've managed to
install espeakup package successfully. Do You see any errors
during its installation? If the package was successfully installed
what is the output of:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>systemctl status espeakup.service <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If the service is not running one should start it with:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>sudo systemctl start espeakup.service <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Also what I've noticed is that espeakup will not talk in tty
console when orca is running in graphical environment. So to make
it work I am doing the following steps:</p>
<p>1. Login to graphical environment.</p>
<p>2. In graphical environment (Mate DE in my case) open a terminal
and run:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>killall orca # WARNING! This will terminate orca<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>3. Then switch to tty e.g. tty 3 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F3 and
login there. After login espeakup should talk.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
<p>Volodymyr</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After numerous tries, I am still
unsuccessful in getting speakup to work with ubuntu, and I
contribute that largely to operator error [that’s me!]<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, here I am, asking if anyone has
step-by-step instructions on how to install ubuntu from
stratch and have speakup working correctly?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Use server version? Use desktop version? Do
something else?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do not need any desktop environments,
just the plain command-line interface with speakup <o:p></o:p></p>
