Hi, I have been waiting for the new release. I mentioned the spelling problem in the earlier version, and I know that that has all been fixed. However, I have bought a new 64-bit machine since that time, and have had to go to a graphical distribution.
It works ok, but I really miss all of my command line favorites. I wish to know when the next release of grml will be availalble.
I would also like to know if the new 64-bit version will work with software speech. I tried the current amd64 version, but got neither speech nor sound when running the following:
at boot: grml swspeak
The system seems to boot ok, but, when it stops, I run
swspeak
I hear the disk spin, but there is no speech nor is there any sound. It seems to have something to do with the audio on this machine, because the listings of all the controls in aumix indicate that most of the volume settings such as mic, pcm, phin, phout, and more are missing.
The only thing I can really tell you about this machine, since I do not know hardware all that well is that it is a Compaq Presario f-700 laptop with a dual-core 64-bit amd processor. The video, which I do not nor cannot use is nvidia or something like that. I do know what kind of sound hardware is on here.
Is there anything I am doing wrong. Please help me return from the graphical nightmare world.
Thanks.
Doug Smith
