Re: Ubuntu Hardee losing speech

Hi Daniel,
At this point I am not sure I know enough about Ubuntu to answer all your questions. When I look under the speech system combo in the Orca preferences, it only says Gnome speech services. I think it is just Orca crashing and not Gnome. I tried pressing alt F2 and typing Orca the last time I lost speech and that worked. I have not installed Speakup, and I don't think it comes preinstalled, so I am guessing I have no console screen reader.

I didn't have that problem in the install.

find out if anyone else on the list is having this problem and if
Do you use speech-dispatcher? If so the problem is libasound2. Does gnome crash or just orca. 
Does alt+f2 and typing orca and hitting enter fix it?
Do you have a console screenreader for when gnome crashes?
You shouldn't have to restart the box in linux when things crash.
Killall is also good.
