[orca-list] Orca on the live CD of September 29

["Simon Bienlein" <s bienlein gmx de>]

Hello everyone,

When I start the live CD of September 29, I am able to call the "run
dialogue" via Alt+F2. When orca is entered here, there is no screen
output. Is there anyone on this list whose Orca actually works on the
live CD?

BrlTTY does not cause any problems. The Braille display is being
recognized and I am able to smoothly work with it on the console
(Strg+Alt+F1). When I want to configure orca in the text modus and enter
"orca -t", I receive a couple of error messages, but the set-up is not
being started:

$ orca -t

Thanks in advance for your hints.
