Re: [orca-list] strange voice obstructing Orca

["Milton" <milton tomaatnet nl>]

Hi Trev,
I use pulse because I didn't change anything from a fresh install where Orca 
works out of the box.
This is completely abracadabra for me.
I even don't know what is gdb.
I would like to follow your instructions, telling me exactly what to do.
1. Should I type in a terminal:
gdb -p `pid of sd_espeak`
Where do I get the pid of sd_espeak?
2. When the strange voice comes up again I should typ in a terminal:
script(1)
to start recording.
3. In a terminal I should type:
c
to fix the problem.
4. at the gdb prompt run bt.
But where is the gdb prompt?
And should I then type 'bt' ?
Milton
