Re: HELP: Debug gnome-speech hang
Hello Mario,
I've just tried orca/upstream 2.17.4 on gnome/sid (2.14.3), with
python-pyorbit/experimental. AFAIK, gnome-speech didn't hang, but
orca is... very unstable. Also this page[1] mentions that
synthesis-drivers can hang.
I've installed libgnome-speech3-dev to run test-speech: yes, it hangs
when entering 'all' to choose a locale. If I put "1" without asking
"all", it finds no voices; if I put "all", it speaks voices specs and
then my CPU tries to burn itself...
Before digging (down...) the ORB, I rather suspect
festival_createSpeaker function defined in
gnome-speech-0.3.10/drivers/festival/festivalsynthesisdriver.c, which
is a callback for GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_createSpeaker called in
gnome-speech-0.3.10/test/test-speech.c.
Did you get the problem with python-pyorbit/sid too ?
HTH
