Re: [orca-list] can't start the orca preferences gui nor setup new preferences

["Ian Pascoe" <softy lofty ilp btinternet com>]

Hi Will

Just to echo from my previous postings - I have the same problems.

Cannot launch either the GUI or Text based preferences, just hangs, but have
speech and magnifier working.

The workaround posted shortly after Gutsy was launched, Ubuntu being my
distro, of ensuring that focus was on the desktop somewhere, didn't work
either.

Tomas suggested it might be a conflict with Gnerpernicus (sorry for the
spelling!), but according to a sighted user, it's not running.

Just to re-iterate, this happened for me after the distro upgrade  to Gutsy.

Ian

Hi Rui:

This is strange.  It sounds like something Orca is depending upon is
hanging.  Have you tried running "orca --text-setup"?  If that hangs,
does "test-speech" work for you?
