Re: [orca-list] Current Ubuntu and Orca - stability?

Hi, Julien,

Yes, you have it right.  Wheezy will let you have qt-at-spi.  And, yes, you
have to jump through hoops not to get pulse on there.  You disable the auto
install of suggested packages in Aptitude.  Then, you make note of which
ones you want when it lists them prior to hitting y for an installation to
take effect.  I usually writ them down and say no to abort the attempt and
then reenter an aptitidue install attempt including all the packages except
Pulse Audio.  It's a pain but, it does the trick.  For Gnome, the key is to
pull the gnome-session-fallback package and not the package called Gnome.
Then, you do the same with orca and qt-at-spi.  Finally, you try out any qt
apps you want to try just be aware tat a ton of them are going to rely on
Pulose to work if you are testing out sound apps.  Also, text editing apps
don't work well with qt-atspi so, don't expect fireworks from things like
Kate or Kmail.  Just passing on the knowledge gained by the pain of
experience.

Regards,
Alex M

Hi Alex!
   So if I get you right, I can install Debian Wheezy, have Orca and
QT-at-spi? 
Of course maintaining those bloody steps to keep even bloodier pulseaudio
out. 
:-)
   Main reason for trying Ubuntu was seeing the QT-at-spi working in a
reasonably new version, seeing what can be seen or read.
   I'm not dependent on speech on the console, Ihave a braille display.
Ubuntu still supports those on install?
   Kind regards
          Julien
