Howdy, I may be missing something with my setup. No sudo application reads at all. Interestingly, other people I have talked to, one using Mate, says that orca does not speak with sudo pluma. Another person also said that sudo applications did speak, until they tried pluma, then it didn't speak. After that, no other sudo app spoke either until they did a sudo killall -9 orca. After that, sudo apps worked again, and strangely pluma now speaks with sudo too. That did not help in my case. So, I must be missing something that needs to be exported, or a package, or something. I found this on the debian wiki which is recommended for getting orca running in other desktops: eval $(dbus-launch); export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID I tried it here, but still nothing. Is this actually important, and should I add it to my .xinitrc? Is there somewhere that lists everything that needs to be exported and everything that nees to be added to get the best a11y experience with Orca?

Still works here, ArchLinuxARM with MATE. But I think something was done to make it work, as I can remember some time back in old MATE around 1.14 when opening up pluma for example with sudo didn't speak. Opening it up with something like sudo -E may work in situations where a GTK application is run as root from a terminal using sudo, as that is supposed to preserve the environment, but this hasn't been necessary for some time.Imetumwa kutoka viakula vyangu _______________________________________________ orca-list mailing list orca-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Orca wiki: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca Orca documentation: https://help.gnome.org/users/orca/stable/ GNOME Universal Access guide: https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/a11y.html
