Re: Orca orca on ubuntu



Hi Tamas:

You can use the "script" command to record a terminal session.  To do
this, you type "script" and press return, which brings you back to the
command prompt:

wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ script
Script started, file is typescript
wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ 

You then do whatever it is you want to do from the command prompt (e.g.,
start orca), and then you can press Ctrl+D to exit the script session:

wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$ ^D Script done, file is typescript
wwalker wwalker-laptop:~$

The file, "typescript", will now contain what passed through your
terminal from the point you typed "script".

Hope this makes sense, and I look forward to seeing the data.

Thanks!

Will

I have tried 0.2.6, I had symilar errors. Since I'm a beginner in Linux, I'm
not sure how to copy the screen, but the errors had a python reference after
I started orca. So for the time being, I will telnet into my machine and
reinstall 0.2.4, and try 6 again. I'll be gone for the next two weeks, but
after that I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Tamas:

I found that the 0.2.5 did not compile properly, I had some errors, 
I'm sorry, can't remember what it was. Being a blind user, I was only 
able to find this out through connecting to my machine with a laptop. 
I had the exact same symptoms, eventually I had to go back to 0.2.4. 
However, I'm using Fedora.

If you're up to it, please give Orca-0.2.6 a try
(http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/orca/0.2) and let us know how things
work out.  Please try to take notes as you go - we cannot install/test Orca
on every version of every operating system.  We're currently focused on
mainly Solaris and Ubuntu and look to the community for help on evaluating
other platforms, such as Fedora.  We also try to keep contributed notes
under the "Installing and Setting Up Orca"
section on the Orca WIKI as a means to help others:

http://live.gnome.org/Orca

In addition, please keep in mind that Orca currently needs GNOME 2.14 or
better.  So...if you're not using the latest version of Fedora (Core 5),
then you're likely to run into a slurry of problems that could be avoided
with an upgrade to Core 5. 

Hope this helps,

Will
