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



Hello,

Anyway to try answerring your question.
I think orca will recreate the configuration folder with all the files inside as soon as you change some of the screen reader preferences through the corresponding dialog.

Trying to answer as much as possible from the questions we are asking here might help you figure the issue:
- Do you have sound within some of the mate apps?
- Are you using pulseaudio?
- If not have you configured speech-dispatcher to use alsa bipassing pulse audio? - Can you try running orca from within mate terminal not pure text console also possibly adding --debug argument? With the --debug argument orca should generate a *.out file in your home directory you can inspect or pastebin. - Do you have talking login screen? I.E. when you are logging in to your graphical session are you using orca and is it working like you are expecting it to?

Greetings

Peter

First thing is speech-dispatcher.
Did you configure speech-dispatcher?
Are you using pulse audio, or is this a pure alsa installation of mate?
Also you are typing much more than you need to to check for your orca process.
Try
pgrep orca
There is also pkill which saves you from searching for a process number before killing off a problematic 
process. It can be run with the codes that kill
understands, e.g. pkill -9 someprocess uses the agressive -9 signal instead of shutting down the process 
normally.
Is your sound working correctly in consoles?
