java accessibility under gnome 3.6
Hello, I am using Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.1, and have installed jdk 1.8.0 from Oracle's otn site. I also installed the java-atk-wrapper onto my system, however when I try to load a swing application, orca just stops talking. I get no feedback in the java window at all. Are there any tricks to getting this working? ___ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list

gnome on enterprise linux
Hi all, Sorry for the cross posting, but I am not sure which list is better suited to answer this problem. I installed oracle enterprise linux 5.0.1 a while back. Now I want to bring gnome/orca up to a more reasonable level rather than orca-1.0. To this end, I followed the instructions at: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/DownloadInstall and all the compilations and installations worked just fine. I set the /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility gconf key to true using gconftool-2, and ran startx. After a short period and all the disk activity stopped, I pressed alt+f2 and typed orca. nothing happened. I checked my startx log file, and found the following messages: Bonobo accessibility support initialized (gnome-session:3945): atk-bridge-WARNING **: AT_SPI_REGISTRY was not started at session startup. (gnome-session:3945): atk-bridge-WARNING **: IOR not set. (gnome-session:3945): atk-bridge-WARNING **: Could not locate registry SESSION_MANAGER=local/draikes.com:/tmp/.ICE-unix/3945 There are a lot more error messages from various applications all saying that the at_spi_registry was not started. Is there anything else I need to do to get the at-spi-registry daemon to start? I know that el5 is pretty old, but I am required to use it for some of my work, and need to get orca to a point where I can use it with the latest gnome-java-bridge and latest jdk's. ___ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
building gnome from scratch
Hi all, I need to update gnome on enterprise linux, and since it seems nearly impossible to find all the requisite rpms, is there a good way to build gnome from scratch? I have tried jhbuild and garnome in the past without success. Alternatively, is it more effective (safer) to pull all the srpms and just go through the process of building them and resolving the dependencies along the way? ___ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list

problems compiling gnome-speech
Hello, I just installed fedora core 6, but want to recompile gnome-speech to enable the swift voices I have installed on the system. I checked gnome-common out of cvs and compiled it and installed it to /opt/gnome2. I checked out gnome-speech from cvs, and when i run autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome2 I keep getting a message saying it is unable to locate various autoconf macros, and that I should adjust my ACLOCAL_FLAGS. I tried: export ACLOCAL_FLAGS=/opt/gnome2/share/aclocal but I still get the error. Can anyone tell me howto set this up? Cheers, Don Raikes, Accessibility Specialist 4848 W. Rosebay S.

Re: pointer to instructions for gnopernicus on fc3 request
Willem, Gnopernicus works out-of-the-box on fedora core 3. The things you need to watch out for are: 1. Updating gnome-speech to version 0.3.6 breaks the interaction with festival. 2. You need to enable the accessibility features of gnome. I have a script which I will post at: http://www.draikes.com/cfg-gnome.sh Run this script as any user to enable gnopernicus to work for that user. note: the script asks whether you want brltty support. This will not work unless you have recompiled gnopernicus with the brltty option. 3. Run startx from the command-line, and shortly, gnopernicus should start speaking.

Re: java-access-bridge problems
Peter, I downloaded jdk 1.6.0 from java.net and installed it. I then recompiled the java-access-bridge, and made the new synlinks. I ran gnome and tried the notepad demo that ships with the jdk, and it worked pretty well. I then tried JDeveloper 10.1.3, and it actually started this time. Unfortunately, I am unable to read items in a treeview. Is this a known bug, or should I file it inbugzilla? On a side not, is there a document that discusses an effective way to use gnopernicus? I keep struggling to know what the keystrokes are to do things like review the screen etc. Peter Korn said: Hi Don, The error message suggests that something is wrong with your symlink or with the build of gnome-java-bridge.jar (that's what we usually call it, not gnome-access-bridge.jar).
