Re: [orca-list] Orca not starting under 4.17.2 kernel

Title: Assinatura Informal

Hi.

I upgraded to version 4.17.2 and so far I have encountered no problems.

Today I also updated the version of pulseaudio and for now I had no problems.

I do not know what will happen when I reboot my machine!

Hi,

In the past 24 hours I've updated two Arch installations to latest
release packages which includes the 4.17.2 kernel. In both cases I'm
unable to get Orca to run, though the errors are a bit different in each
case. I suspect I'm going to resolve this by down versioning my
kernel--at least on one machine.

Here's what I get ...

Machine 1 gets speech-dispatcher errors, so that spd-say does not work.
Attempting to restart Orca shows:
$export DISPLAY=:0

	    During handling of the above exception, another exception
	    occurred:

Machine 2: spd-say works as expected. This is on a late 2013 vintage
Apple Airbook running Arch off a USB 3.0 flash drive.
