Re: [orca-list] Orca no longer talking in ArchLinux Mate.

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

Is the mate it-self running?
Can you try launching orca by starting it via run command ( alt+F2 )?
Or can you ask someone sighted to help you start orca from the mate terminal to see what's printed to the standard output?

I am running 32 bit of arch linux in a VM with recent updates running mate 1.12 gtk2 version.

I believe the only difference to your setup might be the fact I am using lightdm while you are using lxdm

Greetings

Hello list,

 

Orca is no longer starting when I bring up Mate. How do I recreate the settings directory?

  HOME/.local/share/orca

 

I am running The Talking ArchLinux which boots to the command line. When necessary, I go to Mate by starting the lxdm display manager.

 

The problem started after I upgraded all the packages. Now Orca no longer starts  when Mate comes up.

 

Following a suggestion, I deleted the Orca settings folder and then

I ran “orca –replace” and orca does not come up talking.

 

I upgraded the orca package. Whenever I run “orca –replace’, a

  Screen reader starting

Message appears briefly. The Orca setting directory is not being created.

 

When Mate is up, I can go into a console and speakup works.

The process command does not indicate that Orca is running.

  $ ps –e | grep –I orca

This same command, in Vinux 5, does indicate that Orca is there with a status of “sl”.

 

If the lack of the Orca settings directory is the problem, how do I recreate it?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter T.
