<charlie-tca> TheMuso: Is the accessible install working for oneiric yet?
<fredo> AlanBell: You said I could ask you for help setting up OpenMary as a speechd module.
<fredo> AlanBell: So here I am. :-)
<maco> he might be having dinner right now. stick around a bit
<maco> (it's 8pm in his zone)
<fredo> maco: Thanks, I will.
<AlanBell> maco: I was actually having beer :)
<AlanBell> hi fredo 
<fredo> Hi AlanBell!
<fredo> I tried to follow your article, but unfortunately without success.
<fredo> speech-dispatcher was configured on a per-user basis, so that was the first issue.
<fredo> Iâm running Lucid, so maybe that changed.
<fredo> Now I have the config in the right place (.speech-dispatcher/conf/), but it crashes when I try to use the openmary module.
<AlanBell> does it produce any output when it crashes?
<fredo> Yes, I get a backtrace.
<AlanBell> does $TMPDIR/openmary.wav exist
<AlanBell> probably /tmp/openmary.wav
<AlanBell> that is where it puts the temporary audio file it downloads
<fredo> No, it doesnât.
<AlanBell> !paste

<AlanBell> can you put the backtrace in a pastebin so I can see it
<fredo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/656645/
<AlanBell> for me the "-l de" doesn't work
<AlanBell> I never tested or coded for it to pass through the language string, although it should really
<AlanBell> "LOCALE=en_GB" is hard coded in the call to the openmary server
<AlanBell> does it talk without the -l de bit?
<fredo> Nope.
<fredo> Same error.
<fredo> I checked the Mary server log, and it doesnât even get a request.
<AlanBell> yeah, it isn't getting that far at all
<fredo> The openmary.log seems to reveal nothing unusual.
<AlanBell> how did you set up speech dispatcher to do per user stuff? I just put the config file in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules
<AlanBell> are the permissions on your config file going to allow speech dispatcher to read it?
<fredo> I didnât set that up, I just figured out that my changes in /etc/ had no effect.
<fredo> So I put things into ~/.speech-dispatcher, and that seemed to work.
<fredo> Well, or not, in this case.
<AlanBell> spd-say -o broken "Guten Abend"
<AlanBell> what does that do?
<AlanBell> intentionally referencing a module that doesn't exist
<fredo> It works.
<AlanBell> I think it should fall back to espeak
<fredo> Yes, probably.
<AlanBell> ok, so it knows the openmary module exists at least
<AlanBell> and trys to load it
<fredo> Yes, and it does so successfully, given the log message in speech-dispatcher.log.
<fredo> Even the openmary.log seems to be okay.
<AlanBell> I might have a lucid VM kicking about for some other stuff, I will try installing it there
<fredo> I will also install Oneiric on my dev machine next week, and since Iâm planning to target that version for my experiments, I can see if it works there.
<fredo> If that still fails, I could still come back to you.
 * phillw btw, if any one needs some testing on VM, I would be happy to do so. I'd need telling what you wish me to test though!
<TheMuso> charlie-tca: Not quite, my work likely won't be merged till after alpha 3 now, just because I've been trying to troubleshoot a few problems I have run into with setting stuff in the newly created user during install, particularly relating to gsettings.
<TheMuso> I do feel that I am on top of them however.
<charlie-tca> Okay, no problem. I just want to know if it is worth trying to test for the milestone. 
<charlie-tca> Got enough testing to do, without fighting something that isn't ready to test :)
<TheMuso> Right.
<TheMuso> Since feature freeze is next Thursday, it will certainly be in by then.
<charlie-tca> Good enough. 
<charlie-tca> Thank you

<maco> the nurse thought i was Pendulum's sister

<Pendulum> err... Hilton Garden Inn Greenbelt
<fredo> Hello!
<fredo> I just wanted to install dasher on Oneiric, but it isnât installable due to dependency issues (at-spi vs. at-spi2).
<fredo> Is this a known issue?
