Re: [orca-list] Orca doesn't start properly on Arch Linux

Hi Jeanette.


Thank you for your answer. I start Mate through startx. I wasn't clear, 
but I ran orca from an Emacs shell during a X session with Mate up. I 
did this exactly to see the log output (I do the same very often from 
another computer running Arch and this always work perfectly).


I didn't mention, but I had already tried spd-say and the same error was 
returned. I'll investigate the possibility of the locale - I've 
installed Arch linux by using a shell script that automates some steps 
of the installation and probably the script haven't set the locale properly.


Regards.
