fenrir and archiso with anarchy problem when booting up #56

Closed Mudb0y closed 4 years ago

Mudb0y commented 4 years ago

I am working with anarchy developers to add accessibility to theyr installer. At first i used espeakup, but when i would want to install a desktop it would conflict with orca. I downloaded the aur fenrir package, edited a pkgbuild a little to provide some optional depends as required, made python-espeak from aur too, and created an arch repository with these packages at https://stas-prze.github.io/arch/repo I edited the customize-airootfs.sh to start fenrir as a system service, and it worked perfectly. The problem is when i start the iso. I cant tell you what exactly fenrir says because of the startup sound beeing a little to loud, but i hear that it starts with that 8bitty dingdong, and then i hear something is not installed, something is a name of some package or something like that, i thing something related to speech. I also switched my repo out for the jenux repo, and tested with that and the jenux fenrir config, but it didn't work, even no startup sound and no speech, unless speech dispatcher didn't installwhitch it should have cause i didn't hear any error of sord failed to enable speech-dispatcherd.service. If you want i can send over my archiso config

hello. current espeak don't conflict with espeak-ng. so you can use espeakup. if you want.

oh i see now. On manjaro when i tried for some reason it did conflict. So i guess i'm sticking with espeakup atleast for now.

The notification you hear is maybe only the notice that the spellchecker dependency is missing but the spellchecker is active.

The python package is called „pyenchant“

https://pypi.org/project/pyenchant/

By the way fenrir doesnt requre python-espeak, the generic speech driver is very fast :). it also doesnt care about espeak or espeak-ng.

Let me know when i can help. Maybe you can provide an debug file for me to figures issueas?

Cheers chrys

Howdy,

Sorry i do disagree with the way of commenting. The kind of help is good, but belongs into a more general discussion space like an mailing list.This is fenrirs issue page. If there are issues or bugs, they should get fixed instead of being ignored. and this is IMO not only true in this case.

Anyhoo, author closed the ticket, so it might not have relevance for him/her.
