Description of problem: Festival is not exiting when executed as non interactive (called from a bash script). When run as interactive, it exits immediately after first SayText command. This is the command used similar to what is used in nagios script. /bin/echo "The time is, `date +%l:%M`" | /usr/bin/festival --tts This works in fedora 14 as is. I tried this. /bin/echo -e "The time is, `date +%l:%M`\x04" | /usr/bin/festival --tts This changed nothing. When called from a bash script, the festival process is left running. When run from command line, I get this where the 'e's repeat 100's of times (eventually stops) but does not return me to a prompt. I must enter CTRL+C to exit. audsp: unknown command "closeeeeeeeeeeeeee Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Festival Speech Synthesis System: 1.96:beta July 2004 How reproducible: 99% of the time. It seems that the first time after a fresh boot it will work as expected. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run /bin/echo -e "The time is, `date +%l:%M`\x04" | /usr/bin/festival --tts From bash script, process never exits. From command line I get audsp: unknown command "closeeeeeeeeeeeeee Running festival interactively it exits immediately after first SayText command. Actual results: I do get the audio as expected, but festival never exits. Expected results: Festival should exit. Additional info: It works just fine in fedora 14 with the same configuration files CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP-M Processor 2800+ Memory: 2GB Audio: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.23 I checked https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669234 I am always at runlevel 3. Xwindows is never started. I did not have the environment variable referenced set at all. However I did export the variable as mentioned with no effect.
I think this is not a bug after all. The audsp process is hanging for some reason. I compiled festival source from both F14 and F15 and they both exhibited the same symptoms. I finally remember this machine was dual boot and still had F14 on it. I checked it out and festival worked just fine. So it is not a hardware issue, but more like a configuration. Though I got the configuration from the F14 installation.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
