Re: Orca Isn't Autostarting
The last command didn't give an error, but it still does not auto start. Thanks for trying. - Original Message - From: "Paul Wise" To: "K0LNY_Glenn" ; Sent: Friday, December 09, 2022 8:39 PM Subject: Re: Orca Isn't Autostarting
Re: Orca Isn't Autostarting
Well I looked in /etc/xdg/autostart and Orca is in there, something like: orca-autostart.desktop. Glenn - Original Message - From: "Paul Wise" To: "K0LNY_Glenn" ; Sent: Friday, December 09, 2022 8:39 PM Subject: Re: Orca Isn't Autostarting

I note that orca is supposed to autostart by default: $ apt-file search autostart | grep ^orca: orca: /etc/xdg/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop Seems it only happens when the screen-reader option is enabled in the GNOME settings. I am not sure if MATE sets that setting though. $ grep -iE 'exec|condition' /etc/xdg/autostart/orca-autostart.desktop Exec=orca AutostartCondition=GSettings org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled You could try enabling the GNOME screen reader setting manually: $ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled true -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: Orca Isn't Autostarting
Hi Jason, Thanks, yeah, I did all that, but the odd thing is, that in "universal access, there is no entry for the screenreader, there were two things in there, keyboard accessibility, and I forget the other one. Usually once it has been enabled, it always auto starts.I didn't uninstall the Gnome Flashback, just installed mate-desktop-environment-extras. I noticed that Mate used the Orca voice settings I set up when I was running the Gnome Flashback.

Orca Isn't Autostarting
Hello, On Debian 11.5, I just installed Mate with extras. I put Orca in the auto start applications in control panel, but it still isn't auto starting. I've been trying to find an answer on-line, regarding making an icon and putting it into an auto start folder, but the closest reference I found mentions that there is a ./config in home/user but there is no such folder in there. In the Raspberry PI, I once made a .desktop file and put it into a folder for desktop startup applications, but I searched the computer for .desktop and didn't find any such files. Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks. Glenn
