Re: [orca-list] Orca Controlled Remotely With VNC

Hi.

I'll have to go grab the e-mail but, from what I remember, Bill's using
Gnome with Orca on one machine to talk to Gnome on another as opposed to
Windows on one machine to talk to Gnome on another.  I'm sure he'll chime in
here soon but, thought I'd throw that out there.  Would your company consent
to setting you up a local Linux installation like Fedora or Ubuntu?  And
then, you could probably use Bill's configuration in the manner you wish.
 
Hth,

Subject: [orca-list] Orca Controlled Remotely With VNC

Hello,

On 10/20/2013, Bill Cox rote that he was able to control Orca remotely
through VNC.  My company has gone almost totally to a server-based model
where the users have Microsoft Windows running VNC.  While SecureCRT gives
me excellent character-based access to Linux, I am operating at a major
disadvantage because I cannot run many of our vender-based GUI programs.
Our company uses Red Hat Linux 5.7. Mr. Cox's note is copied below my
signature.

How is the remote access working out?

Would Mr. Cox get in touch with me privately so that I can discuss his
setup?

Thanks.

I want to control my Ubuntu 13.04 server using Orca through VNC.  I'm able
to port-forward speech-hub from my Windows laptop to port 6560 on the Ubuntu
server, and Orca talks to it just fine.  The only problem I'm having is that
the caps-lock key and insert key do not seem to get passed to the
vino-server that Ubuntu runs by default if you share your desktop.  I'm able
to use keyboard navigation to listen to text, but I can't issue any Orca
commands that require the Orca key. 

Is there any known solution for this?  I think it would be awesome to be
able to control a remote Orca desktop over VNC or something similar.

Thanks,
Bill
