[orca-list] Orca troubleshooting on Mint 17

[Jeff Archambeault <jjarchambeault gmail com>]

Hi!

I'm helping a friend with their computer and am having some orca
issues.  Orca works well sometimes, but is really inconsistent.

The first thing I'd like to do is capture some log files

I tried getting the version of orca (orca -v) and orca just hangs for
a while before giving an error "Couldn't connect to the accessibility
bus: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-sLldLRmV49: connection
refused. Orca --help returns the same result, same socket file name. I
checked for other orca processes and killed any I found, retried orca
-v and orca --debug-file=~/.orca, and I get the same error, same
socket file name before it reports Erno 2 No such file or directory
~/.orca (which exists as a 0-byte file at the moment).

Rebooting seems to work for a while, but then stops unexpectedly.
Having some extra data to go by would sure help. What would be the
best way to have orca start capturing log data after the system was
restarted? Does anyone have any suggestions we can try?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
