Emacspeak discussion list

[Victor Tsaran <vtsaran AT gmail.com>]

Yep, this is sort of the situation I am in currently.

If you wait a little bit, or just press up and down arrows a few times, Emacspeak may resume speaking. SOmetimes this happens after a few seconds, sometimes it may take 30. You will know that Emacspeak is about to resume its operation when you hear VoiceOver say something like "Emacs is not responding".

Unfortunately, I am not able to figure out how to profile what is happening there.

If you launch "emacs" in Terminal though, using the "emacs -nw" command, everything should work fine. Can you try it?

So, I have made some progress of a sort -- I wiped out the emacspeak
directtory  and re cloned from git.  Now emacspeak loads successfully,
but it will only speak if I use c-e commands, if I hit the down arror
for instance, nothing happens.  So, how to get things working again?

I’m not sure of the best way to do this given your configuration, but maybe try the emacs -Q that you did before, and do M-: (load-file “~/src/emacspeak/lisp/emacspeak-setup.el”) or whatever your emacspeak path is, and see if you can read the buffer contents with the errors, maybe from th e*Messages* buffer.

Your life is like a penny.  You're going to lose it.  The question is:
How do
you spend it?
