Howdy Ollie,
On Arch its quite easy to install fenrir as it is in AUR.
# i still use aurman, but you can of course use the AURhelper of your
choice
aurman -S fenrir-git
to install fenrir if you run pulseaudio, the sound card is locked by the
pulseaudio instance of your user. As fenrir runs currently as root an
second instance of Pulseaudio as user root would require access to the
hardware. this is denied because its locked by the instance used by your
user. So the script configures the root instance of pulseaudio to stream
its sound to your user instance of pulseaudio (instead play it
directly), and configure your user instance of pulseaudio to receive the
root sound stream and play this stream on your speaker. this makes you
hear the sound created by fenrirs TTS process.
this is just to let you know what the scripts are doing.
you need to run this once as normal user and once as root (to bring both
configurations in place)
# as normal user:
/usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh
# as root
sudo /usr/share/fenrirscreenreader/tools/configure_pulse.sh
let me know if you need help. fenrir is of course not perfect yet :),
but i do my best to improve it. also if i don't have that time i
currently wanna have for develop it.
cheers chrys

Hello again Chrys,
Sorry, I think I need some more help here.
Where is teh Pulseaudio Configure Script to be found?
Arch was installed for me by my son, as I said previously, and I only resurrected it, but I don't know what was done then.
Thanks, sorry for this laughable question... lol
Ciao,
Ollie

Zitat von Mallard <mallard@xxxxxxxxx>:
hello Pranav, Thanks" for confirming. I was looking into Fenrir, because my Arch doesn't want to speak in the console, while all is well in Mate desktop. What I tried up to now has giuen no results... sigh. I'll wait till Fenrir is fixed to try it out. Ciao, Ollie

Fenrir as far as I know works only in the console. I have been unable
to get the latest versions working due to a problem with the pyttsx3
library. The library is a cross platform library to work with speech.
It seems it is executing the code meant for Microsoft windows in the
Linux installs so there is a problem.

hello Pranav, I hear you loud and clear. I've just resurrected my
Arch and Slint installations, and was thinking of giving Fenrir a spin.
I haven't followed this list at all, so I don't have a very clear
picture of the current state of the screen reader. Someone told me it
works in both console and graphic desktop, while my understanding was
it's only for console. Which is true? Thanks, take care. Ollie
