[arch-general] btrfs talking install question
in the install boot loader step I noticed speakup was not mentioned in any of the append lines for btrfs when the configuration file was put into the editor. Will speakup=soft added to the append line enable a talking arch linux installation given everything else was done on the arch linux install mp3 Michael Wapples made some time ago? ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hardware eventually fails; software eventually works, no amount of band width can fix poor design Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html
According to the install instructions for Talking Arch, you will need to add speakup and speakup_soft to the modules array and alsa and espeakup to the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf. If you choose to use systemd instead of the Arch init scripts, everything I have read suggests that these modifications should still work, assuming of course that there are units for alsa and espeakup somewhere. Disclaimer: I haven't gotten any of this working yet, as I am having a most likely unrelated problem booting my BTRFS USB key using GRUB2. If I can get it to boot, I will post here if there are any further modifications needed to boot into a talking system. ~Kyle -- Kyle is a droid. The whole world knows it. This e-mail shows it.

[added Chris to cc] A suggestion to make this a bit easier on the users: if you were to ship a /usr/lib/modules-load.d/espeakup.conf file with espeakup containing: speakup_soft speakup Then these will be loaded on boot as long as espeakup is installed (which sounds sane to me). Cheers, Tom
According to Tom Gundersen: #A suggestion to make this a bit easier on the users: if you were to #ship a /usr/lib/modules-load.d/espeakup.conf file with espeakup #containing: # #speakup_soft #speakup # #Then these will be loaded on boot as long as espeakup is installed #(which sounds sane to me). Makes sense to me as well. Then we only need to be sure that the alsa and espeakup daemons run at boot, either in /etc/rc.conf in the DAEMONS array or in systemd units, which if available for these packages, can either be started the same way or enabled using standard systemd methods, since as far as I know, systemd in Arch has a mechanism for parsing the DAEMONS array. Correct me if I'm wrong about this. ~Kyle -- Kyle is a droid. The whole world knows it. This e-mail shows it.

Yes, that would be quite useful. Thanks for the suggestion. I also need to add a systemd unit to the espeakup package. I wrote one a few weeks ago, when I switched to systemd. It has been submitted upstream as well. -- Chris
