Re: [orca-list] Initial ORCA Question



Kenny:

Thanks. I'll upgrade and then see what happens. Didn't realize this was so far out-of-date.

Hi.

Where did you get your instructions?  There isn't an orca.conf.
Orca settings are stored in files in your ~/.orca directory.

The first thing is to upgrade to Ubuntu 7.4.  The Gnome and Orca in 6.2 is over a year old.

The error you are getting refers to the X display, not the Braille display.
You probably typed the orca command in a text console instead of in a gnome-terminal.

Hello:

I have UBUNTU Linux 6.2 installed on a Dell server.  Using apt-get, what appears
to be the most recent version of ORCA is installed.  Finally, brltty is
installed and working in console sessions with a Vario 40.

I have two questions:  1.  As instructed after updating ORCA, I went to have a
look at /etc/orca.conf.  It's not there, and there's no orca directory there
that might contain orca.conf.  Where should it be, then?

2.  Even before using apt-get today, I had ORCA and it runs when I boot the
system.  But, no braille is available when running ORCA.  One possible hint is
that when I run a command like:

      orca -v  or
      orca -e braille

I get a message saying GtkWarning:  could not open display.

Does this mean the braille display?

Thanks for any advice.

Chris
