Hello,
I post a copy to the Blinux list, since we are at least 2 persons
with the same problem.
This is what I did the last time I tried to get Orca working:
I installed the Etch release with BRLTTY, using the net installer.
When Tasksell asked me what to install, I selected "desktop" and "standard".
After the installation, Debian started, and after a while I got
"Screen not in text mode" on my braille display.
Then I pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to get into a text console, and loged in as root.
(At this time, the braille display is working.)
Then I changed the APT source from Etch to Lenny, and ran apt-get
update and apt-get dist-upgrade.
When the system was upgraded, I edited my /boot/grub/menu.lst to pass
the "brltty=" argument to the newly installed kernel.
Then I installed gnome-orca with "apt-get install gnome-orca", and rebooted.
When I was sure that X was running, I typed my username and pressed
enter, then my password and pressed Enter.
I heared the harddrive spinning for a little while.
After it stopped, I pressed Alt+F2, and tried both "orca" and "orca --setup".
I got no respons.
To make sure I was in the Gnome terminal, I typed "touch test".
When I loged into a text console with my braille display working, I
saw that file.
So now, I'm lost.
What should I do to get Orca running?
Regards, Martin
