Re: [orca-list] kali linux and orca?

If you have media keys  on your keyboard, particularly a volume up key using the FN key or so, send those to the VM. More than likely Orca is talking, but you just can't hear it.

I have seen speech dying during install, and I have no idea why or how that happens, but in pretty much all cases I had to manually install Orca and bring up the volume after installing to the hard drive. The one time this didn't work, it turned out that the front jacks on my NUC weren't properly supported and plugging in a USB-class-compliant sound card fixed it at the time.

HTH,

Have tried to get it working multiple times over the past few months. I have had no luck any better than yours with getting it talking. The best that I have gotten is what I currently have with orca still not talking, yet headless and able to SSH into it. Have tried everything from a virtual machine to a raspberry pi to bare metal.

Speech dies either during installation or directly afterward.

Has anyone recently installed this on bare metal; managed to log in, then
got orca talking?  I chose gnome and large extras for packages (8) when I
did this install and got no further than that.  This was using the s
parameter on the boot line to get debian speaking me through the install.
It may be the accessibility stuff isn't getting copied over to the right
places when an accessible install is done.  If it's broken no problem,
this seems to be my month for burning linux coasters.
