Re: [orca-list] which desktop to install

There's an additional package pulseaudio-alsa that has to be installed 
on arch systems in order to allow vlc and mplayer and probably other 
multimedia packages to work.  This is because of updates in vlc and I 
suspect other multimedia packages.  I had to do this in order to restore 
operation of those multimedia packages after an update.  That package 
may be in the aur repository so it may be necessary to download and 
install yaourt from aur.archlinux.org first in order to get access to 
pulseaudio-alsa.  The yaourt package can and will update and search core 
community extras and the aur repository.

Hi storm
No, I do not do anything at all. I installed pulseaudio by installing gnome
and orca and I think it configures itself.
Could it be something with my laptop's soundcard?

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based on a 3 year out of date version of Ubuntu, or any distro without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