Same for me on karmic, don't have a bluetooth adapter so I can not test if enabling the service helps.
espeak: Installed: 1.41.01-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.41.01-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.41.01-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status The speech is cut short using espeak directly on the terminal but when using speech-dispatcher setup to use pulse the speech is rendered correctly. When alsa is specified with speech-dispatcher usind spd-conf there is no espeak sound output on karmic. -- espeak fails with error bt_audio_service_open: connect() failed: Connection refused (111) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379041 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
