You need to make the following configuration changes:

1. in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf there is a line which reads:

#xserver-share=false

Uncomment it to read:

xserver-share=false

This is documented in bugs 432 and 493. The necessary change is
already made to the lightdm package in proposed-updates, and will be
part of devuan 3.1 when that happens.

2. Add user lightdm to the audio group. This is documented in bug 494
   and will happen in devuan unstable eventually. Keep an ear on it
   here:



3. In /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf find the line which says:

# AudioOutputMethod "pulseaudio"

and change it to say:

 AudioOutputMethod "libao"

I will be filing a bug on this soon. Fixing this will require forking
and maintaining the speech-dispatcher package from debian with the
above change in speechd.conf. This isn't something I can take on right
now. If someone else would like to, that would be good.

The easiest way to bring these changes in to effect would be to reboot
your system. You should have speech at this point at the login screen,
and in the graphical console. If you don't, let us know, and we can
try to figure out why. You didn't specify which graphical desktop you
installed, so I'm assuming mate, which is the most accessible. If you
went with xfce, changes 1 and 2 above won't help you since slim not
lightdm is the login manager.

Yes, I thought you were behaving like a jerk *UNTIL* I saw the volume
and content of the ad. The ad included something with American
politics, which is just sooo inappropriate for an international
technical list. Nothing jerky about objecting to *that particular* ad.

Sorry if I sounded like a jerk, I don't intend to be one.
Advertisements just tend to irritate me, like nails on a chalkboard.

[golinux]

It is possible to opt out of that on Juno. You'll have to dig down to 
find it though and every so often, they will try to turn it back on. 
Very sneaky . . .

I think advertisements of any sort should be banned from this list. I
don't read (and occasionally participate on) this list to be advertised
a news source. I have enough people vying for my attention already,
this list should be free from that kind of stuff.

[DNG] Devuan 3.0 Orca Problem

[David Hoff Jr]

I have install Beowulf to a 32 bit Acer netbook using the text

installer with speech. I have speech in the text console but no speech
with Orca in the GUI desktop including the login screen. In the GUI
Desktop terminal I can bring up the Orca preferences with Orca -r -s
and find that in the second tab page there is nothing in the Voice
type, Speech System or Speech synthasizer boxes.


Any suggestions how to fix this. I do have other sounds, just no
speech from Orca.
