Hello, Thanks. I actually had to add: speakup_soft to /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf and it worked. Thanks. Dave. On 11/25/17, Jason White via Blind-sysadmins wrote:

I don't know how Speakup is normally configured in Ubuntu. Try adding speakup_soft to a new file called /etc/modules-load.d/speakup.conf, then systemctl enable espeakup && systemctl start espeakup

Hello,

I've got a Ubuntu 17.04 vm working it was installed with speech so when it comes up I get speech. I did an update from 17.04 to 17.10 and lost speech.

On investigating, apparently espeakup was removed, and speakup_soft was not loaded with the new kernel. I've looked in /etc/default/grub for the module load line didn't see it.

Can anyone tell me how to reenable speakup_soft?

Thanks. Dave.
