Re: [orca-list] which desktop to install



Hi,
I've never tried that. I just chose to go pulse free. I don't really need skype, so it hasn't really caused 
me any problems yet, and has actually solved a few.

Luke's package may be Ubuntu only, but before I used that I could just log into my console as root and then su to my user ID to get speech in both the console and the desktop. Are you saying this doesn't work in later versions of Ubuntu? I haven't tried this in a while since I'm still using Vinux 4 on my production system and I haven't tried this work around on my test systems yet.

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based on a 3 year out of date version of Ubuntu, or any distro without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
