Hello Henrik
it appears that the gnome-speech issue on the live cd is related to the
/etc/hosts file. For whatever reason, the one on the live cd is by
default, formatted differently than the one that is created for an actual
installed version of Ubuntu. I was able to get gnopernicus talking by
replacing the /etc/hosts on the cd with the following:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 ubuntu.hsd1.mi.comcast.net. ubuntu
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
Hope this is of some use.

Hello Henrik,
I'm attempting to troubleshoot the speech related issues you mentioned
and thus far, I have one observation and one question.
1. It appears that test-speech is not being installed as part of
gnome-speech on the live cd. I remember this issue was discussed a few
weeks back, and I thought that it was fixed, at least in the gnome-speech
available from the repository.
Hm, yes I noticed that as well. We should just report that as a bug
against gnome-speech. ( I was trying to get orca running, on my installed
system but was blocked by this).
Ah, I see Luke has already filed it :)

2. For purposes of troubleshooting I'm looking at how to set up a
persistent file system. There is a nice wiki on doing this at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDPersistence
The procedure seems simple enough, but my question is that according to
the wiki, to enable persistence, you need to press f6 at the boot menu,
and att the persistent boot parameter.
If it isn't already, could that parameter be included by default when
booting with accessibility, or would doing so break things if a
persistent file system were actually not present?
I happened to see a bug today claiming that persistence is quite complex
to use. Yeah, I don't know what implications turning it on by default
would have if you didn't have a USB stick or whatever attached. I guess
it's easy to find out :)
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/casper/+bug/34169)
I'm weary of trying to add this now, way past feature freeze. It is
possible to select an F5 option and then add more with F6 right?
- Henrik
