Doesn't work! Which kinda makes sense, I guess you need orca running on client and server. I have orca running in the shell I was typing this from. So is there a certain way to get this to work? Or is it not yet possible for us to access x11 over ssh?Probably it's not possible, but there is very easy way to edit files on distant host.
Well yes, and I tend to prefer the cli for all of this, so it doesn't really bother me. Curiosity more than anything. ssh command line works fine along with scp, and nfs shares. Of course I can use a text mode editor such as emacs to edit stuff, so the gedit was just an example.
At first, use gnome menu "places" - "connect to server" (or something similar, I have Polish version of Gnome). Select ssh as method, if you need you can create shortcut. After then run gedit locally, select "open" from menu, go to "places" (Alt-P in English locale) and use arrow keys to find your shortcut. You will be able to select and edit files on distant host
Not quite the point, the point was to try and get a program to run remotely and work with speech/braille... This works for anything console based, but obviously not gui unless someone replies otherwise. Thx Daniel.
