Re: [orca-list] [EXTERNAL] Re: Orca not working with Ubuntu 20

Hello,

I'm not running ubuntu either but it seems to me that you might have mixed some packages with the base python interpreter.

See this stack overflow answer...

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59389831/cannot-import-name-gi

Try to run python3, make note which version has started e.g. python 3.7, and then try to figure out if orca dependencies you need python3-gi are installed in its site-packages directory

ls /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/gi/_gi*.so

Greetings

Peter

It was an upgrade.

I tried reinstall all dependencies and rebuilding Orca and that did not help. Maybe I did not reinstall all dependencies…

Hi,

 

did the issue occur after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 20.04? Or was it fresh install?

If it was an upgrade, then have You tried to reinstall all dependencies and rebuild orca?

 

 

Best regards

Volodymyr

Hi,

 

Isidor here from the VS Code team. I am having issues with Orca running on my Ubuntu 20. It was working just fine while I was using Ubuntu 18.

I talked to Joan Marie and she is not sure since she does not use Ubuntu.

 

In short, when running orca -r in the command line I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/orca", line 32, in <module>

    import pyatspi

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pyatspi/__init__.py", line 17, in <module>

    import gi

  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>

    from . import _gi

ImportError: cannot import name '_gi'

 

 

If you want to read a longer version, you can read this discussion between Joan Marie and me https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/118934#issuecomment-799438002

 

Sending this out in case there are Ubuntu experts to help.

 

All the best

Isidor
