Re: [orca-list] Orca troubleshooting on Mint 17

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,
The fact cinnamon is not verry accessible is known fact but still I 
believe it has dbus, gtk3 and all the dependencies orca need can be 
installed.
How did you installed orca on mint? Is there an orca package with all 
the dependencies available?
Is there some kind of security measure installed which may prevent orca 
process communicating using standard d-bus mechanisms? I am wondering 
about selinux or some kind of udev rules that may need tweaking in order 
to allow this kind of communication.
Also at-spi includes specific configuration for dbus in the file 
/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf when I use a command like
ps aux | grep accessibility I can see something like
peter      794  0.4  0.4  52232 30056 ?        S    aug18  14:11 
/usr/bin/dbus-daemon --config-file=/etc/at-spi2/accessibility.conf 
--nofork --print-address 3


I must say I don't know much about dbus sockets and related stuff but I 
guess this must be either dbus configuration issue or permissions issue 
somewhere.
If it sometimes works and at other times it fails then most likelly some 
process is crashing.

Greetings

Peter
