Re: [orca-list] which desktop to install



Hi,
did you have to do anything special to get it working? I haven't put pulse on my computer, but everyone who 
does, who uses Arch, says it doesn't work. I use Arch myself.

On Arch, I don't have the problem you guys are having.
I have gnome, orca and espeakup and i can switch between gnome and a console without doing anything.

Hi,
Apparently that fix is a Ubuntu only fix. I'm not sure, because I no lo longer use Ubuntu nor any of its derivatives, but it was said that it doesn't work in future releases of Ubuntu either. People who use pulse say that you can have console speech with pulse installed so long as nothing in the GUI session is using speech-dispatcher, so the whole problem probably arises from the plethora of bugs that plagues speech-dispatcher itself. So, the whole issue could be resoved if Orca had a second way to output speech, say via espeak directly for instance, but that idea was shot down. So, afaik, if you want speech with orca and in the console at the same time, you are either forced to use Vinux based on a 3 year out of date version of Ubuntu, or any distro without pulseaudio. Pulseaudio has its own problems, but it is much better than it used to be. Unfortunately, I require console access, and I'm not a Vinux user, so the only option left to me is to not use pulse on my computer.
Thanks

What's the issue with PulseAudio and getting speech both in the console and on the desktop? I don't have this problem on Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using Luke's package but prior to that there was a simple work around. Does this work around not work in later versions of Ubuntu or in other distributions?

Hi,
I would recommend mate. It's light weight, and pretty much as accessible
as gnome. You can still customize it though. Also, you don't have to
install pulseaudio if you don't want, which means you can have both
console speech and speech on the desktop.

Hi,
I am running Bananian on a Banana PI, and it boots up without a GUI
installed.
I have SSHed into it, and I can install a desktop of my choice here.
I plan on using Orca.
Which will be the best desktop for Orca?
Like Unity, or Gnome, and which version of Gnome would be best?
Thanks.
Glenn
