hello Jude.

...

The audio tutorial on that page is way out of date and only gets anyone to an unbootable system if instructions are followed. At the least it needs removal and at best it needs an update. where exactly you found an audio tutorial? I used the latest talkingarch to do an arch install and still have an unbootable system. are you using a TalkingArch from talkingarch.info? For one thing, the pacstrap line is defective. It needs at minimum to be: pacstrap /mnt base base-devel espeakup alsa-utils pulseaudio-alsa dhcpcd linux linux-firmware grub vi You are not quite right. Some packages in your command are not needed.

Even with that line I haven't got a bootable system since I don't get the grub beep when trying to boot the system. Beyond that, where is alsa.state supposed to be located and where does alsa.state get copied for anything to work? I had to attach a second speaker set to a usb port to get the system to generate an asound.conf file but even copying that into /mnt/etc didn't help.

07.06.2020 18:09, Jude DaShiell ?????: this is correct, if you have only one sound card, then the file will not be created. it just isn't needed.

...

Another question related to this is if you don't have two or more sound cards what are the proper commands to get alsa working at all on a new system install with espeakup? That was never coveered in the basic install tutorial either. no special commands are needed. it should just work. I've been trying to install this distro for the last couple days so I could add a second machine to help out with the foldingathome project and so far no cigar. The braille notes I have came from that tutorial and I need to know what to update so those can be rewritten so they'll be correct. For some reason Jenux won't even come up talking on the second machine though talkingarch does.

People who don't know how mailinglists work and still subscribe to them 😂

You're the only one who's able to remove you from the email list, apart from some admins of course.

How did you manage to overlook the password reminder button? 🤔

And yes of course, if you shut down your mailbox it's very likely that the mailinglist won't magically add other mail adresses from you to the list.

Please refrain from these kind of emails to "help" him as it isn't helping him at all. FYI: I have just unsubscribed him and asked him to ask nicely in the future.
