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

Hello,

I think you should look at speech-dispatcher logs to find out what's wrong with it if spd-say is unable to connect.

Speech-dispatcher logs should be in this folder

/run/user/$UID/speech-dispatcher/log/

Greetings

Hello,

 

How are you starting gnome? Are you using GDM?

Yes. I have since disabled gdm at the moment .

 

Do you hear speech on the login screen?

No.

 

 

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.

 

Yes I get nothing.

 

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?

It says It fails to connect to speech-dispatcher.

 

Are you using espeakup as root?

Yes

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/

Tried disabling espeakup with the same resault.

 

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

 

Will give these a look.

 

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
