Re: [orca-list] getting gdm screen to talk



Debian-gdm is a user on my debian wheezy system but not on my debian jessie system.

The command below gives me a "no protocol specified" error on wheezy and "no passwd entry" error on jessie.

OK, what is the debian-gdm at the end  -- is  that supposed to be the
user or what?

Also, thanks for the keystroke, it did not work, but I may have some
other problems.  I did try to run orca by hand after exporting
DISPLAY=:0 in a terminal logged in as root and I got screen reader on,
but nothing after that.

This used to work for Debian and possibly still does. Note that it's a single
shell command. You may be able to modify it for your distribution.

su -s /bin/sh -c 'eval $(dbus-launch) ; export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID ; GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf gsettings set
org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled true' Debian-gdm

This is taken from the debian-accessibility mailing list.
