Bug#859926: speechd-up: fails to install



Hi Jean-Philippe,

So, does that mean that speechd-up should also have such a mechanism
that defaults to no?

What I am now seeing is that speech-dispatcher doesn't stay running when
started with it's init script. If I start it with "sudo service
speech-dispatcher start" than it is in the "active (running)" state for
about 20 seconds and then goes to an "active (exited)" state. I expect
that speechd-up is failing to start because it actually checks if it can
USE speech-dispatcher.

Two things that I then noticed, the man page of speech-dispatcher
mentions that it needs to be started with the "-d" option to run as
daemon (which isn't present in its init file). With debugging
information added I then noticed the following in
/tmp/speechd-debug/speech-dispatcher.log:
[Fri Apr 21 14:10:00 2017 : 638612] speechd: Currently no clients
connected, enabling shutdown timer.
[Fri Apr 21 14:10:05 2017 : 713820] speechd: Terminating...

So it seems speech-dispatcher doesn't want to stay running as daemon. I
guess this is the real issue at stake. (Should we reassign?)

Just to be sure, you mean pausing in the speech-dispatcher init script,
right? Speechd-up already has that. Because of the above, this doesn't
help. I even tried it (actually before I found out the above) and it
didn't work.
