Starting jovie

To start the Jovie system, type the following command in a Konsole

or click on Jovie in the KDE Menu.

If this is the first time running jovie, or if you have not yet configured any talkers, the Talkers screen appears. See the section called “Configuring Talkers”. If you have already configured at least one talker, the General screen appears. See the section called “Starting Jovie and Setting General Options”.
