Re: [orca-list] updating broke something



Hello,
Please see the archlinux bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21139 and feel free to add your own comments and votes to push this correction on (possibly the time it took for the bug to be updated to be assigned, etc) it probably could have been fixed. I have posted a proposed fixed PKGBUILD, there really seems to be little reason why a corrected package cannot be built.

If you want to just get your system going then just install pyxdg with pacman (IE. pacman -S pyxdg), but please still add comments to the bug report as the package should be fixed and so others won't hit the same issue.

I use GDM.  I load it automatically at startup with the MODULES listing in something like /etc/rc.conf.

I managed to find how to get at my thumbdrive.  Here's the output fro orca -v in tty1;


/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:57: GtkWarning: could not open display
  warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)

    from xdg.BaseDirectory import xdg_data_home
ImportError: No module named xdg.BaseDirectory



the"gtype" errors I remember from earlier versions.  What's the xdg.BaseDirectory thing about?

Now that I think I can copy relevant information to my thumbdrive, where else should I be looking to track down the root cause?  I didn't see anything important when I ran packman, and there are no warnings or error messages in pacman.conf; I also checked out dmesg, but didn't find anything that looked useful.

Any ideas?
