That's the error message that has popped up on the screen from time to time in the v11.3 installation that I got around to doing only yesterday. It always happens when I have just pressed the return key to change to jump from one app to another (but not always even then). This message would be disquieting under any circumstances, offering no clue to how to find the reason for the failure. But given the fact that KTTSD is not installed on this machine at all, it is really unnerving.
What should I conclude from these reports of failure of a phantom app? How might I cause this supernatural phenomenon from occurring; how can I appease the poltergeist that is doing it?
This is just a rough guess: install KTTSD? The reason it is "failing to start" and the popup is being created is that the program can be found.
As I said above, "KTTSD is not installed at all". I have no reason to install it, and YaST sees that a package of this name exists on a repo, but says it is not installed. A <find> search starting from the root does not see any file named (or starting with) "kttsd" or even "KTTSD".
The point is that some other package/program is calling the text-to-speech program causing the pop-up message. It that is the case then there is an unmet dependency somewhere.
How to find it?
Google the exact text of the message in quotes. Since all source files are on line somewhere, it is bound to be found. Once you know which program is issuing the message you have your first clue as to who/what may be trying to call it.
