Gespeaker will not using Mbrola voices included with Ubuntu #19

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Ubuntu packages espeak and espeak-data
2. Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Mbrola voices tab
3. "Mbrola voices path:" Choose /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/mb
4. Push Refresh.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output is for these voices to show as installed.

$ ls /usr/share/espeak-data/voices/mb
mb-af1     mb-de2      mb-de7     mb-fr4-en  mb-it4     mb-ro1     mb-us2
mb-af1-en  mb-de4      mb-en1     mb-gr2     mb-la1     mb-ro1-en  mb-us3
mb-br1     mb-de4-en   mb-es1     mb-gr2-en  mb-nl2     mb-sw1
mb-br3     mb-de5      mb-es2     mb-hu1     mb-nl2-en  mb-sw1-en
mb-br4     mb-de5-en   mb-fr1     mb-hu1-en  mb-pl1     mb-sw2
mb-cr1     mb-de6      mb-fr1-en  mb-id1     mb-pl1-en  mb-sw2-en
mb-cz2     mb-de6-grc  mb-fr4     mb-it3     mb-pt1     mb-us1

I see nothing different instead.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using the Gespeaker 0.7 deb package on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10.

Please provide any additional information below.

Ubuntu includes Mbrola voices. I shouldn't have to install them again
through a third party repository.

Hello Christoph

As indicated in the InstallMbrola wiki page the path for mbrola voices won't be
/usr/share/espeak-data/voices/mb but the correct path is 
/usr/share/espeak-data/voices

Please use the right path and do the tests again

It still says none are installed on the preferences page. Why is that?

Is gespeaker unable to use the mbrola voices included with the ubuntu 
espeak-data
package?

mbrola files included with espeak-data don't contain any voice at all.
they're used to interface with mbrola.

Look at the wiki and follow instructions to install mbrola voices

@Muflone, please see my comment on Launchpad. This bug has been around since 
Oneric. For the love of it, just submit an NMU, I do NOT want to add yet 
ANOTHER PPA to my system!

@cjvanessahavens

including it into your distribution.
