Re: Getting Orca working with Karmic
Hi, Just installed Ubuntu karmic on dozen desktops. Apart from few crashes at-spi crashes things seems to be working without needing to remove pulseaudio.

If so, what changes did you have to make? One thing that seems to have helped was to remove pulseaudio. However, before that, you need to install alsa-oss, or you wont have a sound system at all. This seems to have made Orca able to clear out the speech-dispatcher queue of sound you don't want to hear. It's still pretty unstable. I haven't been able to use it in any productive way for more than a couple minutes at a time before something crashes.

By default, speech-dispatcher will try pulse, and fall back to alsa if pulse is not running/available. Speech-dispatcher, appart from that pain in the neck crasher which I still can't put a finger on, work quite well together, when the phases of the sun/moon/earth are aligned etc. :) Luke -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
