Re: [orca-list] Setting up orca as a blind newbie



Hi Ari:

Would you be able to upgade to a newer version of GNOME (e.g., 2.24)? In addition, do you need to be on Ubuntu, or can you use a different operating system distribution such as OpenSolaris?

Hello Will

 Orca --version reports similar error but dpgk reports
gnome-orca 2.22.1-0ubuntu

The relevant bonobo   versions are
ii libbonobo2-0 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonobo2-bin 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library -- support b ii libbonobo2-common 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library -- support f ii libbonobo2-dev 2.22.0-0ubuntu1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library -- developme ii libbonoboui2-0 2.21.90-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libbonoboui2-common 2.21.90-1 The Bonobo UI library -- common files ii liblpint-bonobo0 0.1.19 library for launchpad integration

 I got a sighted help to login to gnome and execute the Orca.

Next problem was that the Orca setup hang while selecting the keyboard layout. Synth read the prompt thext but not the choices. Orca were however

still running. There were a pulseaudio device busy error at the logs. I installed an usb sound card and configured speech-dispatcher to use it. With this setup i was able to finish the setup.

There are still some issues; this versions of Orca seems a bit unstable and there are encoding issues with finnish speech synth but otherwise
 Orca looks very promising:-)

Hi Ari:

Darn. Sorry - the DISPLAY thing is a red herring. I just performed the following test on my Ubuntu Intrepid box:

1) Logged out of the desktop and made sure it was sitting at the login prompt. This is not a necessary step to run "orca --text-setup" -- I just did it to make sure I wasn't able to access the display.

2) Ran "orca --text-setup" from a virtual console.

I got the display warnings mentioned, but the setup actually ran. So, it looks like the Bonobo.GeneralError is the thing that's really the problem.

Which version of Orca are you using (orca --version).

- Can i run some setup script in  text console.
orca --text-setup will only complain
'GtkWarning: could not open display' and spit a tracebak message.
I think your DISPLAY environment variable needs to be set (e.g., DISPLAY=:0). If it is set and you still get a stack trace, please post the trace so we can
better help you.
