[orca-list] problems with administrative tools and orca



Hi all,

 

I am new to this list, so I apologize if this has already been discussed.

 

However, despite running commands listed on the orca FAQ, I am unable to run orca with administrative tools such as synaptic package manager.

 

The following are commands I have tried using ubuntu 7.04

 

 sudo su - root

 

cat > ~/.orbitrc << EOF

 

ORBIIOPIPv4=1

 

ORBIIOPUNIX=0

 

EOF

 

 The problem is that immediately after putting in the second line cat > ~/.orbitrc << EOF

 

 Orca just says greater than greater than. This is all the output I get, even after entering subsequent lines of text in the terminal. It doesn’t appear to work.

 

I have also tried a second way. According to the web site, you can type sudo su in the terminal and then type killall orca. Then, type orca again and it should be running as root. Whenever I try this approach however, I get the following error.

GTK accessibility module initialized. Speech not available.

So, I have two questions

 

 1. Is it possible to do these accessibility commands using a live CD? I want to make sure I know how to access all parts of the system before installing gnome itself.

 

2. If these commands can be done to allow orca access, Am I doing something wrong here?

 

 Thank you for any help you can provide in advance

 

 Sincerely,

 

 John J Herzog
