[orca-list] dealing with gnome-shell on new system

[Don Raikes <DON RAIKES ORACLE COM>]

Hello,

 

I just installed the latest version of kali linux (debian derrative). When I boot into the system, I have a couple of problems.

 

1.        I am getting no sound out of orca. I am getting Braille feedback but no speech.

2.       Unfortunately kali is using the new gnome-shell which seems to be almost impossible to use with orca.

Is there an easy way to deal with this gnome-shell desktop?

Gnome-shell 3.14.2-3

Gnome-orca 3.14.0

 

Is switching to mate a viable alternative, and how difficult is it to get everything working in mate?
