Re: [orca-list] Problem with setup on Fedora 9

Hi!

As you and Janina suggested, it gave me better luck by installing
orca-2.24.1. I also had to install at-spi and at-spi-python. However,
I have some issues:

- orca -t or --text or --help from the command line gives the
  following:

[root lapx ~]# orca -t 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module> 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca.py", line 70, in
  <module> 
    import keybindings 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/keybindings.py", line
  35, in <modu
le> 
    import gtk 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py",
  line 79, in <
module> 
    _init() 
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py",
  line 67, in _
init 
    _gtk.init_check() 
RuntimeError: could not open display 
[root lapx ~]# 

- I've uninstalled pulseaudio, and configured GNOME to use ALSA,
  wherever possible. However, the login sound doesn't play.

- I installed everything that's sounds like esd / esound, but esdplay
  file.wav doesn't work. Shouldn't it? No error messages. What can I
  do to fix it?

- Even if I started speech-dispatcer prior to log in into GNOME, Orca
  can only select GNOME speech espeak. How cound that be fixed?

- It seems to me that every time the screen saver kicks in, Orca
  crashes. How could I solve that?

Thank you!
