Re: [orca-list] Orca 2.91.6 not talking at GDM login in Ubuntu Lucid

[Michael Whapples <mwhapples aim com>]

OK, I think it may call for some debugging of orca.

Firstly do you know whether orca continues to run when it is not 
responding/speaking or has it exited?

Now follows is how you could get a full debug from orca at the login screen.

Please note that full orca debugging may capture keypresses therefore 
you should consider either removing parts of the debug file or changing 
passwords after posting a debug file for GDM.

Put the following three lines in the orca-customizations.py file for the 
GDM user (eg. on my archlinux system this is 
/var/lib/gdm/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py ).

import orca.debug
orca.debug.debugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_ALL
orca.debug.eventDebugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_OFF

Now go through the GDM login screen and post the GDM log file I 
suggested previously (as no debug file was specified to orca it will put 
its debug in the GDM log).

If you are cautious of posting the debug file due to the security 
concerns I mentioned above, then could you look through the file for 
anything which may indicate what is going on (eg. does it contain speech 
output messages, does it have any errors like not being able to connect 
to at-spi, etc).
