Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Problems with Sonar and BRLTTY



Hello,

I apologize for not reading sonar support list regularly, otherwise I might have posted correct answer earlier.

I guess really the issue is with the fact orca assumes your X server running on VT7. Orca needs to communicate this to brltty. On Arch linux and derivatives GDM 3 starts on first free virtual console that is VT1 in most cases. It might be similar on sonar as well I guess.
To change this in orca, create or open a file
~/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py
and put the following content to the bottom of that file.

import orca.settings
orca.settings.tty = 1


Doing it this way is easier as setting up GDM to spawn X on another console requires rebuild of GDM package.

Also have you added your user to the brlapi group and does a file /etc/brlapi.key exist on your system? This allows orca to talk to brltty.

Greetings

Peter

Hello list,

I'm posting here a message I sent to the Sonar Support list, because Kendell suggested it might be a metter requiring investigation on the part of Orca people...

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello all,

After some struggling, we managed to install Sonar 2015.4 on my pc.

Unfortunately, I can't work without braille, so I tried to launch BRLTTY.

It detects my braille display, and works correctly in consoles, but not
with Orca, although braille is enabled in Orca Preferences.

My husband found a post on the BRLTTY forum, where someone reports the
same kind or problem in Arch. The person says that he discovered that
the problem is due to Arch starting in Console 1, while Orca starts in
Console 7. By having Arch start in Console 7, the problem was solved.

Sounds interesting, but... Does anyone know whether it is the same with
Sonar and, in this case, how do I have Sonar start in Console 7?

Thsnks, ciao,
Ollie
