Re: [orca-list] trying to get orca working in arch linux are there any enstructions for this?

[Peter Vágner <pvagner pvagner tk>]

Hello,

How are you starting gnome? Are you using GDM?

Do you hear speech on the login screen?

Have you tried starting orca by pressing alt+super+s, it should work on both login screen and after logging in when the gnome session has started.

By saying you do have speech on the console, can you verify if pulseaudio can output speech?

i.e. are you getting speech when using spd-say on the cli?

Are you using espeakup as root?

If yes, Perhaps you might like to disable it when running gnome or tweak the pulseaudio with this tip: https://dhole.github.io/post/pulseaudio_multiple_users/

Or another article on the same topic... http://billauer.co.il/blog/2014/01/pa-multiple-users/

Greetings

Hi all,

 

I have a fresh install of arch linux with gnome installed.  I have speech ina concal but not speech with orca  in a GUI.  I looked around but did not find anything helpful.  I installed espeak-ng but after enabling GOODM, I get some popping from my speakers, indicating that pulse audio is working but nothing from orca.  If any one has any ideas  it would be greatly appriseated.  Thanks.

 

Matthew
