Wanting gespeaker for ubuntu. So I managed to install Python2 in my Ubuntu 20.04 installation.

sudo apt-get install python2
sudo python2 setup.py install

Looks like no errors -/

Still claims gespeaker has (unlisted) dependencies in software app and also in command-line

sudo dpkg -i "gespeaker_0.8.6-1_all.deb"

RESULTS:

sudo dpkg -i "gespeaker_0.8.6-1_all.deb"

espeak "This is a test" runs fine in command-line. Gespeaker listed in GUI apps list, fails on startup. Had this issue last ubuntu, seems a python dependency?

UPDATE:

sudo apt-get upgrade resuts:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:        
 gespeaker : Depends: python-glade2 but it is not installable        
             Depends: python-gobject but it is not installed

             Depends: python:any (>= 2.7.5-5~)

That is an old version of gspeaker, which depends on python2, which is not supported anymore. Use the latest source course, which uses python 3. https://github.com/muflone/gespeaker#installation

Ok, so you are trying to use GeSpeaker from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS repository. This previous Ubuntu version had more Python 2 libraries. You still can get them installed on 20.04 LTS by manual downloading:

cd ~/Downloads
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gespeaker/gespeaker_0.8.6-1_all.deb
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-glade2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/p/pygtk/python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb
wget -c http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dbus-python/python-dbus_1.2.6-1_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get install ./gespeaker_0.8.6-1_all.deb ./python-glade2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb ./python-gtk2_2.24.0-5.1ubuntu2_amd64.deb ./python-dbus_1.2.6-1_amd64.deb

and enjoy.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
