Bug#612622: Running speech-dispatcher with custom config file not reflected in orca TTS engine/voices list
Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.7.1-0ubuntu3
Severity: normal
This bug has been reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/571959
When running speech-dispatcher with a custom config file with extra TTS engines
configures Orca does not list the engines from the custom speechd.conf rather
from the ~/.speech-dispatcher/conf directory copy. This is unexpected
behaviour. Historically this has worked.
To reproduce:
cp your speechd.conf to a new directiry
killall speech-dispatcher; speech-dispatcher -C ~/oath to moved config file
orca
Preferences -> check engine voices list
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04
Package: speech-dispatcher 0.6.8~unofficial~rc2-0ubuntu3
Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686
Architecture: i386
ProcEnviron:
PATH=(cusUser Name, no user)
LANG=en_GB.utf8
SHELL=/bin/bash
I can also reproduce this issue by making changes directly to the /etc/speech-
dispatcher/speechd.conf file. Those changes are not acted on. They must instead
be made to ~/.speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
