I have several pages of braille notes on installing arch and no that's not the only proper installation documentation either. There's a beginner's installation guide which is far more detailed and that served as some of the source for the notes I made. As a result I've had a very good command line install running for several past kernel versions and the screen reader was running before this last update. On Sun, 22 Mar 2020, leoutation@gmx.fr wrote:

5.59-10 on the machine I use. I'm using a different version of linux on another disk to write this message. Strangely, both speaker-test and espeakup no longer work. The speaker-test failure would of course cover espeakup since espeakup uses sound card resources to do screen reading. Was anything done to the kernel to cause these failures?
Before Arch I used Fedora for 7 years. I found Fedora far more stable than Arch when upgrading to a new Fedora version 3 months after release when most bugs have been fixed. With Arch there is always something that does not work properly and then days or weeks later it starts working again. Hi Did you installed Arch in the right way? The only Arch installation method is here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide Since 22 years, i use Linux. After redhat, suse, gentoo, fedora, debian stable,testing and sid, i went to Arch. I get rare problems with Arch, less than with other distributions (except with venerable debian/stable) To become happy Arch user: First, very important: use linux-lts all and "lts" or "still" packages you can find. Non lts kernels *are not* stable. Then, don't update each day. Then, when you do something, you have to know what you are doing.
