Though I would forward to our list to see if anyone can come up with a
solution.  Never tried a different lang...

    Hi,
has anyone successfully run gnopernicus on an Ubuntu "Breezy Badger" (5.10)
distribution?
I did the following which should be easy to reproduce:
* Install Ubuntu 5.10 into a fresh partition. Select German as the system
language.
* On a shell, do a
$ sudo apt-get install gnopernicus
* In the Gnome desktop, choose Anwendungen (Applications), then Zubehör
(Accessories), then Terminal. This brings up an x terminal shell.
* Type
$ gnopernicus -s -M -B
to enable only the speech module.
* After a while I get a speech output "Willkommen zu Gnopernicus" read with
an english accent. This lets me assume that I don't have audio problems and
the speech synthesizer (Festival) is properly installed.
* I Answer "yes" to the question on whether to activate accessibility.
* I answer "yes" to the question on whether I want to re-login.
* Running gnopernicus again will give a "Willkommen zu Gnopernicus" speech
output and show the gnopernicus GUI.
* I select "2 Preferences".
* I select "1 Speech"
This brings up an empty window and the whole desktop does not respond to any
keyboard or mouse event anymore.

Gnopernicus outputs a number of error messages after startup to the stderr
of the shell. I include the full log of these messages - I think the CORBA
exception could be the reason for the problems.

BTW: I tried to do an
$ export LANG=en_US
before starting gnopernicus and the only difference is that it will say
"welcome to gnopernicus" and after a while:
"speech restored"
The crash situation remains the same.

Any ideas?
thanks and regards
Roland
