Re: [orca-list] fedora 9 orca crashing

[Janina Sajka <janina rednote net>]

Eric,

The text console configuration of Orca is broken again, it seems. At
least we're also getting tracebacks for the -t switch on the console.

You may have better luck doing orca --setup in a run dialog. From the
Gnome desktop press Alt-F2 and type that command.

hth.
