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



Hello,


On the first machine speech-dispatcher is not working thus it would be helpfull to see its log if possible.

On the second machine gstreamer is failing.

Given the fact gstream is not considered hard dependency of orca we should try to patch such a condition to fail gracefully without gstreamer specific features.


I don't have a clue on what's going on. I am suspecting this might be a kernel driver change possibly related to some apple specific hardware.


In order to try to troubleshoot it further have you tried some more apps producing audio to see what these will end up with? For example speaker-test from alsa-utils?



Greetings


Peter

Hi, Alex:

I'm not sure the problem is the kernel, but neither am I convinced it's
the new pulseaudio. Recalling I am failing on two machines, let me again
point out that Machine 1 has a failing speech-dispatcher. My
speechd.conf has the following two settings:

  AudioOutputMethod "alsa"
  AudioALSADevice "plughw:1,0"

Machine 2, the Apple Airbook is a very new installation where I'm trying
hard to stay as close as possible to installation defaults.
Consequently, my speechd.conf is unedited and defaults to pulseaudio. On
this machine spd-say works.

There is an additional difference on Machin 2, however. I'm running
speech-dispatcher-git on this machine in order to avail myself of
espeak-ng. So,

In both machines I'm also running orca-git, so I guess I'm not fully
default install.

Let me know anything else I should try. Thanks for your interest and
your help.

Janina

Are you sure it's related to kernel ? In the last day, PulseAudio 12.0 has
been released. The reported error seems related to PulseAudio.

Can you try to revert PulseAudio and let me know ?

Best regards,
Alex.

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:
