I'm using ubuntu hardy.
I've rebuild orca, gail, atspi, atk a number of
times from svn.
I've deleted my ~/.orca
test-speech does work - even with
viavoice.
The entire startup message spoken is "welcom to
orca. starting orca preferences."
Question: do I need to explicitly say
"--prefix=/usr" on all my ./configure or ./autogen.sh runs when building atk,
gail, atspi, and orca? I noticed that if I leave it off from the
autogen.sh run in the orca tree, it places stuff in /usr/local. So, I rebuild
orca using prefix=/usr with no luck. I guess I'll try rebuilding everything with
explicit prefix=/usr but fear I'll have no better luck. I dont' remember
having to do this in ubuntu 7.10.
Logginng in from ssh shows two orca processies
running; is this normal? Killing and restarting does no good.
Sometimes, when I hit control+alt+backspace to
return to the login prompt, I get about a half second of speech; can't make out
what its trying to say because it dies due to the logout.
I'm using gnome-speech - at least I've not been
able to start orca so haven't changed this from the default, which I assume is
gnome-speech. I'm looking into setting up speech-dispatcher, but not sure it
will help. Since test-speech works, I'm assuming the problem is not with the
speech system, but some other misconfiguration or something bad about my ubuntu
installation. I upgraded from 7.10 (orca was working fine before I
upgraded).
What else can I try?
