extra file in orca orig.tar.xz file that isn't upstream

2019-09-02 Thread thomasw
Hi, The file po/Makefile.in.in is not included with the Orca sources and should be generated by the build. I deleted it and the package wouldn't build. I fixed the build by adding to the rules file override_dh_auto_configure: NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh dh_auto_configure Just wan

Unusually long time to log in on fresh testing install

2019-10-06 Thread thomasw
I just did a fresh install of testing with the Mate desktop and standard system utilities. I notice that after logging in it takes a very long time for Orca to start. When I go to shut down and then restart, it shows at-spi-bus-launcher as not responding and i strongly suspect this probably is

Hi, I did a Debian install on a machine where there would previously be no speech with Debian for the past few months and it worked fine. I used the sid DI daily build with firmware to install bullseye. Thanks to Samuel and all others who fixed this.

dbus-broker vs dbus-daemon for the accessibility bus

2019-10-08 Thread thomasw
For those not in the know, dbus-broker is a reimplementation of the dbus-daemon. I am very interested in this subject when it comes to the accessibility bus. I have done two types of tests on debian. This requires building the broker from source and rebuilding at-spi2-core. Used cpu was an 8550u.

2019-11-07 Thread thomasw
Hi, I have followed the discussion on the orca list lately and the conflicts around GTK 4 accessibility. I guess without getting into the drama of it all, I would just like to ask those who are knowledgeable if they think we will have Linux accessibility going into the future. I guess the issue

I just tried it. I logged in and couldn't get Orca to start. Some dialog was on the screen about choosing a window manager by default. Maybe if you get past that, you can start Orca. I thought OpenBox was the default Window Manager but I guess they let you choose. Ubuntu documentation on a quick

Improving the way orc in lightdm is started in Debian

2020-07-15 Thread thomasw
lightdm-gtk-greeter now has an official method to start it. I think using this in Debian could have some benefits because it would allow blind users to start and stop the screen reader regardless of whether it was enabled a install time. From what I can tell, the first change that would need to
