Re: [orca-list] Orca becomes unresponsive periodically on Linux Mint 9

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm using speech-dispatcher with eSpeak. When I restart Orca, I am also 
killing and restarting speech-dispatcher. For some time, this has no 
effect at all. I get a very brief moment right after Orca and 
speech-dispatcher restart where it's as responsive as normal, but only 
for about 1 second. Then it hangs again. Note that if I leave it alone, 
everything does eventually come back, but restarting Orca and 
speech-dispatcher multiple times speeds up the process. Also, if I only 
restart Orca and leave speech-dispatcher alone, I get the same result as 
I get when restarting both. I haven't tried restarting speech-dispatcher 
and leaving Orca alone, but that would undoubtedly force me to restart 
Orca anyway.

It's possible that you see no speech synthesizer in the list of 
processes because speech-dispatcher isn't currently sending any output 
to eSpeak while orca isn't speaking. Not sure if this is the case, however.
