Gustav,

I see speech dispatcher itself started and ended a couple of times in
there, but I don't see what text it was sent to synthesize. Did you try
spd-say "Hello" or trying with okular to speak some document or a page? I
was hoping to see something like this:

in the espeak.log but it's empty. Ah, may need to also set espeak.conf to
debug like this in /etc/speech-dispatcher/modules/espeak.conf:

#Debugging
Debug 1

Change the 0 to 1 if it's there, otherwise add Debug 1 to the end of the
file if it's not there at all.

thanks,
Jeremy
