[orca-list] Orca not starting

[Preeti Murthy <preeti murthy gmail com>]

Hi all,

When I begin orca by using Alt+F2, orca seems to momentarily appear and disappear.  If I begin it using the terminal by typing orca the following is what appears:

Traceback ( most recent call last )

File "<string1>" , line1 in <module>
File "var/lib/python-support/python2.6/orca/orca.py", line 54 in <module>

print len(desktop)
TypeError:object of type Desktop has no length

I am using Speech Dispatcher, espeak output module and pulse audio as the audio output. When I checked /var/log/speech-dispatcher/speechd.log, I get:

Espeak: Initialized successfully.

Inspite of being able to do so, it tries to load other output modules like festival,flite, fails and prints an error message:

Output module working status: 0 (pid:2618)

[Sat Jul 24 15:22:15 2010 : 81454] speechd:  Output module terminated abnormally, probably crashed.
[Sat Jul 24 15:22:15 2010 : 81469] speechd: ERROR: Can't initialize audio in output module, 

Unable to understand how to proceed. Thanks in advance:)
