Hello Mike.
Thank you for the help. It works.
I actually did try adding speakup_soft to the /etc/modules file before I wrote
to the list, however I had read somewhere that the line should read
speakup_soft start=1
which didn't work.
Now when I remove the
Start=1
It works as it should.
Can you point me to any documentation for speakup somewhere?
I mean how to configure the punctuation level, the rate etc.
Best,
Morten

Hello Morton
Welcome to the list.
You need for two things to happen so that speakup starts at boot-time.
Firstly the kernel modules need to be loaded.
If all you need to do when you log in is to start espeakup then the kernel
modules are already loading, and all you need to do is enable the espeakup
service.
I am not familiar with Ubuntu myself but if it now uses systemd you can do this
with:
sudo systemctl enable espeakup.service
Then:
sudo systemctl start espeakup.service
Will start it, but the enable is what will make sure it starts at boot.
If the kernel modules are not loaded I think you will need to add a line to
either:
/etc/modules
Or create a file called something like speakup.conf in:
/etc/modprobe.d/
The line just needs to read:
speakup_soft
This will cause speakup_soft module to be loaded at boot and this in turn loads
speakup, which is a dependancy of speakup_soft.
I hope this helps.
Mike

Hi everyone.
My Name is Morten. I have been on this list for a while, but haven’t
really had the time and reason to write. I have used a raspberry pi
since somewhere in the fall last year, but I have used linux before that.
Now for my question, which isn’t really raspberry pi related, but it’s
about speakup on ubuntu. I hope it’s okay to ask about it here.
I’m running a server with Ubuntu 16 on it. It’s the server version of
Ubuntu. No GUI, console only.
I access the server over ssh, but I need speakup running on it so that
I can get in if the ssh connection fails.
I’ve got speakup installed, and, with help from the internet, got it
running and talking. However, I need to start it manually every time I
log in to the server.
I’d like speakup to start automaticly when I boot the machine. Not
only when I log in, but also at the login prompt.
How exactly do I do this?
The commands I use for starting it is:
Sudo modprobe speakup_soft start=1
Sudo service espeakup start
Also, can someone point me to some documentation for speakup? I’ve
tried to google around, but can’t seem to find anything useful.
Thanks in advance for any help
Best regards,
Morten
