Of course, I am neither a kernel developer or one of the speakup developers. The kernel developers want speakup rewritten but the speakup developers say that if they rewrote it the way the kernel people tell them to, it would lose critical functionality. For example, the very first thing the kernel developers said when I brought this up on the kernel list was that speakup should be a run-time system. Well, that showed an incredible lack of understanding of the purpose of speakup itself since it needs to be loaded at boot time in order to get boot messages. So some guys from the kernel development team and some from speakup got into a little debate, which, BTW, I say the speakup people won. On the other hand, I have to admit the speakup code is, well, it has problems. I am still hoping to get the patch, perhaps a modified version of it, accepted into the kernel code.

I tried the full-64-bit one. I was mainly checking that the accessibility stuff worked and I successfully got brltty and speakup with espeak for output working. My only comment is that the volume was initially very low, but I know setting the audio levels is difficult to do automaticaly as it can vary between sound cards. I know in some earlier GRML releases there was a kernel option to set the volume level, is that still present? Also, as a separate note: Having the testing and unstable daily ISOs caught me out, I initially downloaded the unstable/sid one but realised before booting the CD, so I downloaded and tested the testing one.

We try to stay as close to upstream and Debian kernel as possible and we'd like to see improvements taking place there so it's not just the Grml users who can benefit from it. :) Hm, this might be interesting also to Debian in general? Maybe it would fit into the speakup-tools package. John, are you familiar with reporting a bug within Debian using reportbug? Thanks, John. regards, -mika- </pre> Michael Prokop 2012-05-13T16:20:56 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/2923 <pre>I was wondering if the grml team would be interested in making hardware speech work in grml. I have a kernel patch that fixes a problem in the linux screen reader, speakup, to make it work with certain hardware speech synthesizers. I don't know how to get it into the actual kernel code and I haven't even tried yet. But the patch file can be downloaded here: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/downloads/patch-2012-03-06.patch Then you cd to your linux source dir and do this: patch -i patch-2012-03-06.patch drivers/staging/speakup/serialio.c" If you do that, you could also include a udev rules file that starts speech automatically if certain hardware synths are connected at boot time. That file is here: http://www.math.wisc.edu/~jheim/downloads/10-speakup.rules </pre> John Heim 2012-05-11T14:24:11 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/2922 <pre>Michael Prokop wrote...

Withoug guymager, it would be 225kB, maybe a more acceptable size. Of course something like aimage would be needed for the non-ewf part of the world, but sadly this went out of debian some time ago. Maybe I should learn to package stuff some day and help out on the upstream front... As there's a forensic boot option and stuff like afflib-tools provided, I don't understand the "don't touch the scope of Grml" part too well. But of course that's my personal view and the reason I started to use in the first place.

But uname -r gives me 3.3.0-1-grml-amd64... what am I doing wrong? _ And while am at it... after the last release, some of my favorite packages where missing and I didn't took the time to post while the discussion was hot. So if it's possible to include the following, this would help me to not have to roll my own grml-live: xmount ewf-tools guymager But that's just part of my own favorites. Needing 25MB additional space while uncompressed. Hope this wish doesn't comes close to release now. Didn't had enough time yet to find some more interesting issues... ;) Best regards Ursus </pre> Urs Blaser 2012-05-10T13:49:46 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/2916 <pre>Hi, the current Grml daily ISOs (http://daily.grml.org/) feature a fresh 3.3.4 Linux kernel and I plan to work towards a 2012-05-rc0 release throughout the next days. Everyone who wants to see 2012-05-rc0 actually happen is invited to grab the current daily ISOs (the testing flavours of grml-full + grml-small, 64bit and 32bit) and report any issues we should address before releasing rc0.

This is Doug with a bit of good news. One of your blind grmlers is coming home. I just have to know the answers to a couple of questions, and I will give you the reason why I decided to take the nestea plunge, so to speak. First of all, I know how to start speakup on the live cd. press q and return to be sure you're out of that quick config menu and can work in the console. modprobe speakup_soft; espeakup Then hit return twice. What I want to know is this: How can I have an accessible login that will start speaking when I need to log in on a hard disk installation of grml? Don't worry, I have performed a blue billion of these and I know just how to avoid accidents. I know you do not necessarily encourage installs. The next question I have is this: What happens on a hard disk install? For example, I have everything talking when I install. Will it still be there when I reboot the installed system? If yes, then great. If not, all my work will not be in vain</pre> Doug Smith 2012-03-14T02:07:47 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.grml.user/2914 <pre>Hello, i have installed grml squeeze on my netbook.
