Re: [orca-list] Running Orca in a VNC session



Bill,

A few years ago two students from NC State build a "Remote Access Bridge" that does essential what you describe.  It connected a special gnome-speech driver to TTS running on the local machine, and thus enabled Orca (or LSR) to be run via VNC.

I don't know what happened to that work...


Regards,

Peter

I'd like to port-forward my local speech-dispatcher port to that
machine so that the remote copy of Orca running in a VNC session can
talk to my local speech-dispatcher.  When I try running Orca in a VNC
session, it exits with the following message:

bill> cat foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>

  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/pyatspi/registry.py", line
331, in __getattribute__
    raise RuntimeError('Could not find or activate registry')
RuntimeError: Could not find or activate registry


Does anyone know what I need to do to get Orca running in a VNC session?

Thanks,
Bill
