I just updated my Intrepid box as of a few minutes ago. I found that I still needed a ~root/.orbitrc file and that I needed to disable the gksu keyboard grab. Once I did these two things, I was able to use Orca to access a gcalctool launched with "gksu gcalctool". Prior to making those changes, the desktop essentially just hung.
The two lines needed in ~root/.orbitrc are as follows: ORBIIOPIPv4=1 ORBIIOPUNIX=0 Hope this helps, Will On Mon, 2008-10-06 at 12:38 -0500, Brian Cameron wrote: > Is this problem caused by the fact that GConf now depends on D-Bus, and > when you run a GUI via gksu, the root-running process can't connect to > the D-Bus session? > > If so, running "dbus-launch --exit-with-session (cmd)" instead of just > "(cmd)" might work better. > > Brian > > > > Unfortunately most applications are using gksu to run administrative > > apps. > > > > Under ubuntu intrepid I can run such applications using sudo from a > > gnome-terminal. > > This does the job but it would be cool to have access to these Programs > > using their starters. > > > > The Problems are: > > When I start gksu -k synaptic, > > Orca stopps working. > > > > Can someone confirm this or can help to get this working? > > The goal should be to have this stuff accessible without tweaking keys > > etc in gconf! > > Please > > help > > Regards > > > > Halim > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > gnome-accessibility-list mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list > > _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
