Re: [orca-list] Orca on Chrome books

[Marc Sabatella <marc outsideshore com>]

I have Orca running on my Chromebook, it works well other than the issue I mentioned the other day of the default shortcuts not working because there is no Caps lock, Insert, or Numlock.  Only thing special I had to do to get it working for me was set the environment variable QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON, otherwise Qt based apps (including MuseScore, which I help develop) wouldn’t be seen at all.

BTW, I got some great help here and elsewhere with respect to getting MuseScore working better with orca, and ended up developing a script but also implementing some changes within the app.  Today we’re finally releasing an alpha version that incorporates those changes, so soon we’ll officially be able to say we support Orca.

Hello
if this has been discussed before, I’m sorry. However, we’re just reading one of the messages, and it was mentioned, that you can run orca on your Chromebook. Was wondering, how this all is accomplished? Well if anybody can point me to list documentation, I would appreciate that. I do know some basics however. Such as there are some Basic packaging tools such as dpkg and tools, but not sure if that is even relevant here. As far as Cristini, the last I knew, sound was not operational within the virtual environment, apparently though, this has been fixed.  My particular Chromebook is a Lenovo yoga for, with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. This particular model, also has a touchscreen, but not sure if Orcutt even works with such things. But, just wanted to give you a little background here.
