Hi,

In stretch the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable was not set, and thus the
speech-dispatcher socket would end up in the user's home, and I
guess that happens to be working by luck with crouton. Of course,
you can try to change the path of the socket in speechd.conf, or set
CommunicationMethod to inet_socket to use a TCP/IP port. But best would
be to get crouton to fix the bug.
As an aside, the XDG Base Directory Specification states under "Environment
variables":

But in practice some software use one or the other environment variable
for the same purpose (including sockets)
For this reason I ended up setting these defaults for Slint in
/etc/skel/.profile
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/dev/shm/$(whoami)
mkdir -p /dev/shm/$(whoami)
chmod 700 /dev/shm/$(whoami)
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=$XDG_CACHE_HOME
Maybe not very orthodox, but no issue reported so far due to these default
settings.
Cheers,
