Re: [orca-list] Orca working on KDE-4.14 or at least some KDE apps, anyone?

Hello,

qtatspi has been uploaded, see the ChangeLog:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/ChangeLog.txt

Yes, in the application menus, most apps that have a .desktop under
/usr/share/applications/kde4 are displayed.

You can see a list of all sources of KDE4 software here:
http://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-14.2/source/kde/modularize

Finding all Qt apps is a little more tricky. You could do this:
lftp -c "mirror http://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/slackware-14.2/deps/";
cd deps
grep -w qt *|sed "s/:.*//;s/.dep//"

TIP: if you pop up xfrun4 (Alt+F2 but in fluxbox and KDE) then
press the down arrow key, you will get a list of all apps.

Greetings,

Didier

Hello,

There are loads of QT4 apps preinstalled with KDE. They do show up in the
F1 menu when using other desktops such as KDE, XFCE and so on. I have
tested Amarok and calculator example app inside the qt-at-spi repository.

Greetings

Peter

How should I search for qt apps I can run outside of kde once qtatspi is
installed correctly?
I would try something like slapt-get --search qt* and see what might come
up but there may be a better way.

I am not yet familiar with slackware packaging however I guess some QT

related environment variables might be mixed somewhere.

I've started recent slint I've installed about two days ago, started LXDE
desktop with orca by running startx.
With no proper packaging I've built qt-at-spi like this:
    git clone git://anongit.kde.org/qtatspi.git
    cd qtatspi
    mkdir -p build
    cd build
    cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
    make
    sudo make install

All the QT4 files are placed inside /usr/lib64/qt/ on the installed
system
however qt-at-spi got installed into /usr/lib64/qt4/ .
Apparently this seems wrong so I've just moved some files around
manually:
mv /usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/accessiblebridge /usr/lib64/qt/plugins/
rm -Rf /usr/lib64/qt4

Now when I launch QT4 apps on LXDE they are accessible.



That was it! moving the bridge into place did the trick

I was about to give up, so Peter you are my hero!

Not sure all apps are accessible, at least lokalize is.

I will package qtatspi and upload the package to night so one will
have just to do this to install it as root:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get -i qtatspi

I'll let you know when it will be done.

I can't check KDE as I am blind and I don't know what I'm doing while I am

not sure it's working as it should.



Being blind doesn't prevent you to be way more knowledgeable and skilled
than me in the computer systems field, congrats!

Oh, and I saw a picture of you with two cute little girls on your blog.
I guess you are a happy dad.

Currently KDE (that I almost never use) is very unresponsive.
I assume that I should let these ugly KDE PIM daemons initialize their
database
before testing.

However according to the following article there are no differences to

the environment when compared with other desktops.
Here are the relevant KDE accessibility notes:
https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Accessibility
/Screen_Reader_Setup



That's right, I remember having read that.

Didier

The QTACCESSIBILITY environment variable has to be set as per the



enabling


accessibility section in the following QT docs article:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/accessible.html
I think you do know this so I'm only posting this because I haven't yet
managed to play with this on your RC image to possibly verify this


my-self.

Yes, our xinitrc.kde ends like this:
cut here
# Start the window manager:
if [ -f ~/.config/startorca ]; then
        # Graphical environment A11y Initialization
        export LOGNAME="GDM"
        export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN="gtk"
        export GTK_MODULES="gail:atk-bridge" # for GTK2
        export GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1
        export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 # for QT4
        export QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1 # for QT5
        rm -rf .cache/at-spi2-??????
        killall -u $(whoami) speech-dispatcher
        /usr/bin/speech-dispatcher -d
        /usr/bin/orca &
        sleep 0.5
fi
if [ -z "$DESKTOP_SESSION" -a -x /usr/bin/ck-launch-session ]; then
    ck-launch-session startkde
else
    startkde
fi
cut here
Some of these settings are useless so far, e.g. we don't ship gdm,
but shouldn't hurt.

I have also built the examples in the source qtatspi and can
use the GUIs, but no sound.

Didier

Hello,


I am on the verge of releasing Slint64-14.2.1, with Orca and several
window managers and desktops, including optionally KDE-4.14.

I failed to get Orca working in KDE and apps, after having installed
the most recent qtatspi. When asked, Frederik Gladhorn answered me
that
things improved in Qt5. However, I won't upgrade KDE just for that,
and
a web search came empty, so:

@All: If you know of any successful usage of Orca with KDE-4.14 or one
of its applications, please answer!

It can be in any Linux distribution, link to a repo with a
corresponding
ISO would be great.

Else, I will just inform users that among WM and DE shipped, KDE is
not
accessible.

Greetings,

Didier
