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



Hello,

I do have Mate running. I did use the run box using alt+F2.
In the run box I typed: "orca --replace".

I was told that a brief message appears telling me that the screen reader started.

While in Mate I can go into the console and speakup is working.
In the console, the process command does not show Orca running:
  $ ps -e | grep -i orca

The Orca settings directory is not there.
  HOME/.local/share/orca

I upgraded the Orca package it is up-to-date.
How do I recreate the orca settings?

Original message

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.
