Hi all, I wrote my script as follows:
#!/bin/sh
** let's kill sd and orca
killall speech-dispatcher
killall orca
** now let's restart them.
speech-dispatcher
orca
When I try to execute it to test, I get an error that there is
already an instance of orca running. Can you not kill orca with
killall? Also, I have a dumb question, how can you tell if
speech-dispatcher is running as a system or user service. I have
also tried putting sudo in front of the killall statements to no
avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much in advance,
Guy

Hello,
If you are running Vinux 3.0.x, you can quickly restart orca and
speech dispatcher with 'ctrl-shft-o'. In any event, you should be
able to restart orca, like any app, by doing 'alt+f2', then
'orca', and hitting 'enter'. If speech dispatcher has also
crashed, you'd need to restart that, first.
If you aren't runnin Vinux, You can write a little script that
restarts both orca and speech dispatcher, and bind it to a hotkey,
using the standard Gnome keyboard preferences

Hi all, I have a question concerning orca and firefox 3.6.x. I have
noticed this behavior on both orca 2.30.x and 2.32 branches. Whenever I
quit firefox
using alt+f4, orca will sometimes hang, resulting in no speech after
exiting the browser. I then have to restart my computer to get orca to
resume talking.
Is there any way to stop this from happening, or creating a quick
shortcut key to get orca to return without having to restart? Any
suggestions or info
on this would be greatly appreciated. As always, keep up the good
work. Orca 2.32 seems to be definitely more responsive with Ubuntu
Maverick.

Thanks,
