Re: [orca-list] problem with orca/gnome sound

[Kristoffer Gustafsson <kg kristoffer gmail com>]

Hi.
Ok, I changed the speech dispatcher configuration as you told me.
But I still get no sound at all from gnome.
Just screen reader loaded.
I run orca --text-setup, and that works.
But after that orca just gives me an error. "unable to connect to the desktop.
Should I need to reinstall debian all over again to get this working?
