Re: [orca-list] Easiest way to try out KDE/Plasma?

[chrys <chrys linux-a11y org>]

Howdy,

there is also the way using docker with kde neon development edition 
(daily build)
Sadly its not accessible by default, so it requires some "blind typing" 
to install and start orca. you need "x11docker".

start kde neon (as root, to be able to install software very easy):
x11docker --user root --sudouser --desktop -c -p kdeneon/plasma:developer

give the window control over mouse and keybord:
press: shift + ctrl

after it boots (takes some seconds) open run dialog:
alt + f2

paste the following to install and start orca:
apt-get install orca -y && orca

for test,  you can open i.e. dolphin the file manager
run dialog:
alt + f2
open the file manager dolphin (type):
dolphin

dolphin should be accessible
be careful, it runs as root!! otherwhise you would not be able to 
install orca on the fly without messing arround in an inaccessible UI. 
also the -c flag tells to share the clipboard and -p connects pulseaudio 
to get sound

maybe we can create an own docker image based on neon with orca 
installed? then its more easy :). anyone good writing docker files? i 
would send them to the KDE community.

happy testing

cheers chrys
