gnopernicus not speaking

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

I can't seem to get Gnopernicus to speak after loggin in or get it to speak 
during loggin which would be better for me.
The person helping me to get it working in Ubuntu seems to be only able to 
get it working manually although it seems to come up, it is like speech 
seems to be disabled even though speech has been enabled at startup under 
the preferences.
About 3 people have been looking at my laptop to try and get it working.
We even tried uninstalling Gnopernicus and doing a fresh install of it but 
still the same problem and we have even tried to disable the system sounds 
at loggin.
The version of Ubuntu is Breezy Badger.
I sent some instructions to my LUG mailing list only I have been told the 
spoken prompt loggin I sent was for Sun accessability or a mixture of both 
and that it would be difficult to find out the specific loggin settings for 
speech with Ubuntu.
