I change the locales via dpkg-reconfigure locales, I uncheck

OK - this is not good.  :-(  There are some debugging speech
steps at
the following URL: http://live.g
nome.org/Orca/GnomeSpeech.  Steps 6 and
7 might be the ones to try next.

6. If things spoke at one time, but are no longer working,
try doing a 'ps -fax | grep synthesis-driver' or 'ps -elf |
grep synthesis-driver'. Kill the
associated process and try 'test-speech' again. If speech
works again, then a driver got hung.
:-(

I can't find the process. I search with ps aux/elf/fax and
grep to
Synthesis, synthesis, driver, etc. Only festival can be
found.

7. Do any speech services show up with the gnome-speech
'test-speech' utility?

Yes.

B. If there are files, then try running one of the drivers
by hand from a terminal window. You'll know the location and
name of the driver by looking for
the type="exe" line in the relevant
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Speech_
SynthesisDriver
_* file.

Who can I run the driver by hand? I try:

# cd /usr/lib/bonobo/servers
# ./GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server

But "command not found".

But a:

# cat ./GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festival.server

show the content of the file.

i. Make sure you kill all running synthesis-drivers before
running the driver by hand.
ii. See if there are any errors when you run the driver by
hand in a terminal window. If there are no errors, then run
test-speech from another terminal
window. See if you can make test-speech talk. If you can,
the problem may be that Bonobo is not starting the driver
for some odd reason. If you still cannot
make test-speech talk, it's probably time to jot down any
errors you might be seeing and
ask us for help.

OK, I ask for help.

I remember, when I start orca, I hear a voice "welcome
to orca", than
the voice and orca crashing.

I Found a thread in the www:

http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-gnome
-speech-tf849200.html#a2201501

I also have an amd64 with the debian amd64 etch. It this the
reason?
What can I do for this?

Thanks and

Ahh...kill anything to do with festival.  Something like
this might
work:

kill -9 `ps -eo pid,ruid,args | egrep
"synthesis-driver|festival [-][-]server" | grep -v
grep | awk '{ print $1 }` > /dev/null 2>&1

You need to look for the "=exe" line in the file. 
The driver is
typically installed in /usr/bin and has a name of the form
"*-synthesis-driver".  For example:

# grep 'type="exe"'
/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/GNOME_Speech_SynthesisDriver_Festiva
l.server 
                    type="exe"
location="/usr/bin/festival-synthesis-driver">
#

This says /usr/bin/festival-synthesis-driver is what you're
looking for.
So...now:

1) Make sure you kill all things related to festival as
shown above

2) Run /usr/bin/festival-synthesis-driver in a separate
window (or
virtual console)

3) Run test-speech in another window (or virtual console)

4) If things go awry, see if there are any errors in the
window where
you are running festival-synthesis-driver

It most likely is :-(, but I'm not sure.  I've heard
recently that
people have been having success on 64-bit Ubuntu boxes.  If
you're not
committed to Debian, you might give Ubuntu a try.

There are no errors or other messages in the window of
festival. :-(

Other ideas?

Thanks for help and tipps!

Hi Sebastian:

In the window where you run festival-synthesis-driver, you
should see
something similar to the following as you run test-speech:

wwalkerubuntu:~/orca$ festival-synthesis-driver 
server    Mon Dec 18 09:52:36 2006 : Festival server started
on port
1314
client(1) Mon Dec 18 09:52:37 2006 : accepted from localhost
Festival driver finalized.

If you're not getting any messages, then test-speech might
be connecting
to a different synthesis driver.

I try it again and the following happens when I start the
test-speech:

client(4) Tue Dec 19 19:38:40 2006 : accepted from localhost
Segmentation fault
