hello,
So, a few questions:
1. How do I navigate out of the virtual machine in virtual box, so i can alt tab in windows etc.
2. What's up with the sound, it's all quiet and choppy and unusable. How do I fix this?
Thanks

Also my questions.

1. General arch question, but.....best way to install AUR package (orca-master) on my system?

2. Can I with minimal effort, set the system to only remind me of available updates once a week instead of every time it scans?

3. I adore the synths included, but the list of espeak voices  lags  like crazy. Any way to leap to a specific voice or no?

4. Okay, so I got the WINE stuf up and going.Now, can I alter the SAPI voice in WINE any?

About the Raspberry Pi arch image, is there a reason why it's speaking something I almost can't hear, ignoring key-presses, and while it apparently put my wifi in already (never mind the fact that my virtual machine was doing the work and I said I wasn't connected to wifi during install since it uses the virtual network adapter) and yet it won't appear on my router's list of connected devices.
At the same time, have the images been regenerated and no longer using rootfs?

Okay, after installing VBox, each and every linux distros I've tried including Arch and Ubuntu mate they all have choppy sound.
I ran a Windows 7 on it, it is okay.
Maybe because I installed guest additions on win7 and can't figure out how to install that on Arch linux.
Or maybe it isn't needed.

@Jace:
All the sound is choppy. I've tried this with many linux vm's under virtual box. What version of virtual box are you using?
as for resources, The virtual machine has 4gb of ram and 4 processor cores, out of 16 gb and 12 processor cores.

@Potter:

That should be more than enough for a lower spec desktop like Mate. Actually what desktops and such were you trying, since I run Mate based stuff and the sound is rarely choppy for me. Though I do have choppy sound when the VM's under heavy load, or a heavir desktop.

Also, for this one.....yeah aparently, the script's a little borked. /Pkg: Line 1. Syntax error,unexpected  token.

That's the gist of what it gives  me right now as of writing this if I try installing.

Also, the LTS change apparently wiped out the software menu, I fired it up to test, and....yeah it sorta got nuked and jumps right to the LTS/standrd menu without giving me the install options. Okay, odd.

One more update....

Seems the aformentioned issues *only* happen if I pick to install the Gnome preset. Mate installs fine, which is just weird.

So, folks.

What're the details I need to add the Jenux repo to my Antergos system I got up and going on bare metal? I'm assuming, and not tested, the freedos-accessible isn't in the main repos, right? If it is I stand corected however.

All I realy want out of it and I'm not even sure if it's in the jenux or the main, is the fredos-accessible stuff and that's it from there really. I'll try again in a VM and check if I can do what I want to in said VM.

I mean, the stuf I use like pidgin, puprle-skypeweb and such is in the main repo. I can prety much install that on any install.

And just because I add a repo does *not* mean I'm installing any packages from it, because correct me if I'm wrong, just because I add the Jenux repo then do a sudo pacman -Syyu, doesn't mean it magically installs the things in there to the system, correct? Yes, speechdup may be deprecated but for the time being, it still works and it is certainly better than nothing.

Now. Related question. Jenux has hrvoice. I want hrvoice on my Antergos install with its voices. That's my project for the next few hours. I'll assume that to get the hrvoice-git I'll again need the Jenux repo, because I'm unsure exactly which repo it's in.

Also, @Ethin: The AUR has speechdup and many other distros. Are you going to go of and rail at them for saying oh Ubuntu *shouldn't* have speechdup, for an example, or oh Talking Arch should ditch such and such and such and such? Because. Again. Put up or shut up. You've not offered to helpp or contribute code. ALl you've done is bitch and whine without offering any alternatives to softare you claim (without proof) is deprecated.

@196, speechd-up is deprecated in the sense that's unmaintained:
https://freebsoft.org/speechd-up
And yeah, I haven't contributed any code, for reasons I've stated. My "bitching and wining" as you call it are very valid points. @197, contribute to the Linux kernel? You've got it backwards; this isn't the Linux kernel. This is a supposed installer script that uses way too much shell magic, and while it works, not all of it does (i.e. android). Asking me to contribute to the Linux kernel is like asking me to contribute to GCC or glibc; I have absolutely no idea how either works, even though there are reference manuals and technical documentation, and for (especially) the kernel, I'd rather not compile a kernel and then break the boot sequence since I contributed and broke something since I didn't know what I was doing. Why don't you go try to find out the Linux kernel sourcecode or GCC's and then tell me I should contribute. Contributing to any big codebase is *no easy* task. Its like contributing to a major field like medicine. Its hard as all fuck to create something original; your more likely to create something that already exists.
