Frequently I get the following error in my journalctl log:
Dec 24 06:39:55 thinkpad systemd-coredump[2022]: Process 1989 (sd_festival) dumped core.
I then used systemd-coredumpctl to trace back the error. It is caused by speech-dispatcher. Is this speech-dispatcher coredump something I have to worry about?
~ $ sudo systemd-coredumpctl

I am also receiving this error quite frequently. It seems that the binary file 'sd_festival' belongs to the package "speed-dispatcher". In my case I have speed-dispatcher 0.8.2 from x86_64 Extra installed: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extr … ispatcher/

Since this dumps in sd_festival, do you use festival as you speech engine? What happens if you switch to espeak?

So this coredump apparently happens if speech-dispatcher is installed as a dependency and is configured to use festival. If the latter is not installed, then it throws the coredump.
I just installed `festival` to check whether the error message really vanishes and indeed it does.
So either install festival next to speech-dispatcher or configure speech-dispatcher to use another voice recognition backend.

@Bastian,
Can you trace back when you get this coredump?
To me it seems to be related to Chromium. Same for you?
Yes, I also have speech-dispatcher installed due to Chromium requiring it. I believe the coredump happens when I use/start Chromium.
I just installed `festival` to check whether the error message really vanishes and indeed it does.
Great, thanks for sharing. I will test it out myself too.

I just noticed the following segfault while monitoring my dmesg output:
[Feb24 03:48] sd_festival[23899]: segfault at 2d0 ip 00007fbbc23451a1 sp 00007fff41ea2e80 error 4 in libpthread-2.19.so[7fbbc2338000+18000]
I was surprised to learn that I had *any* speech related software, as this machine has no speakers and I rarely use headphones with it. Upon trying to remove the speech-dispatcher package, I noted the same dependency that was called out above - chromium. Anyone interested in forking chromium to remove this ridiculous dependency?
