Howdy Pranav,

you are welcome :).

//I see that system d has been updated so I will test what happens when I launch x.

well, there is still a pending patch for X11 to make startx running well with logind (fenrir autosuspend).

but you can use storm_dragons script to start X, this suspends fenrir, startsx and reactivate fenrir after X closed.


he pushed it into master, see here:

https://github.com/chrys87/fenrir/blob/master/tools/startx.sh


you can set an alias to startx and there you go :).


i hope this helps


cheers chrys

Hi Chrys,

Many thanks.

 1. I had not installed ebdev and pyudev using sudo. That was my first
    mistake.
 2. Once I did that, I then had to reset the speech driver to generic.

I now have speech on the console.

I see that system d has been updated so I will test what happens when I launch x.

Thanks again.

Pranav

Howdy Pranav,

Looking at your debug file i see two separate issues
1. is the reason why speech is not working for you:
ERROR 2022-01-13 00:18:12.340337: speechDriver initialize:Can't open socket using method unix_socket
Original error: [Errno 111] Connection refused
Additional error: Server refused to autospawn, stating this reason: b''

2. there seems to be  an issue with input as well:

ERROR 2022-01-13 00:18:13.920011: Loading Driver inputDriver (evdevDriver) FAILED:name 'UInput' is not defined

1. seems that speech-dispatcher is not configured properly for user root. It is not able to spawn for some unknown reason. Try the following:

Login as root

spd-conf

follow the instructions on the screen and select the parameters for your setup.

https://www.systutorials.com/docs/linux/man/1-spd-conf/

2. what version of python3-evdev do you have installed? Seems its not detected or installed properly, how did you installed it?

Try:

sudo pip3 install evdev

    Hi all,

    I have setup Fenrir and have also run the pulse audio
    configuration script.

    I still have no speech on ubuntu 21.1.

    I do hear the sound that signals that Fenrir has loaded.

    Speech-dispatcher is working and I have tried the speech driver
    and the

    default generic driver but that has not helped.

    Orca works on the gui.

    I am attaching a debug log.

    I cannot see anything obvious.

    Pranav
