[orca-list] bug in latest antergos release prevents orca from speaking



Hi all

I  got an ultrabook for Christmas, a vizio ct14. It’s a great machine and all that, and I dual boot antergos 18.1 and windows 10. The iso image of 18.1 ships with gnome 3.26 and speaks with orca when launched. However when installed, even with the accessibility packages turned on, orca fails to speak. I believe, but cannot prove, that this is a speech-dispatcher bug. This is with mate 1.18, orca 3.26 stable and the latest stable version of speech-dispatcher. I can’t provide any error logs right now, but if joanie wants I can provide a debug log, although I’ll have to reinstall antergos since I removed it when it wouldn’t speak. Sorry I’m not able to provide more information, all I have right now is that orca doesn’t speak, but “espeak ‘hi’” speaks, so I know the sound works. Trying numerous times to restart orca with “orca -r” and “killall orca speech-dispatcher” followed by “orca -r”, and as a last resort, “rm -rf ~/.local/share/orca ~/.config/pulse” followed by “orca -r”, nothing works. I’ve alerted antergos on twitter but I’m not sure if they’ll do anything about it.

Thanks
