Re: [orca-list] A question about orca, ubuntu, and best configuration options




Use the mate version of Ubuntu 20.04.

Latest Orca does great.

Hi Francisco,


I use Ubuntu 20.04 (LTS, Long Term Support) with Orca master. For my daily work I use Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice Writer and Calc, LIOS, Pluma, Gedit. In the terminal I use daisyplayer, ebook-speaker, translate-shell.


To get Orca master I copy a while ago on this mailinglist the following instructions:


1. Enable the Canonical repositories.
* Open software updater.
* Click the Ubuntu tab.
* Check the box source repositories.
* Click the other software tab.
* Check the boxes next to Canonical partners and Canonical partners source repositories.
* Click close.
* When requested, click reload cache.

2. Open a terminal window, press Alt+Control+T.

3. Install git, type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter.
sudo apt-get install git

4. Install build dependencies. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter.
sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-orca

* Answer yes to the ‘do you want to continue?’ prompt.

5. Get the orca source code. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter.
git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/orca.git

6. Build and install orca.
!!WARNING!!
Follow the steps below exactly as typed. Doing something else will mess up your environment and cause file permission problems.
* Change to your orca repository created in step 5. Type the following and press Enter:
cd orca

* Configure orca source. Type the following command and press Enter.:
./autogen.sh

* build orca. Type the following command and press Enter.:
make

* Install the built binaries. Type or copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
sudo make install

7. When install is complete, restart the system.

After you can keep up with Orca master by executing the following commands in a terminal:
* first change to the orca folder
cd orca
* look for updates
git pull
* to see what changes are made
git log
* to update
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

Success.

Hi there everyone, again.

So, after much debate with myself, I decided to go with ubuntu 20.10. now, my questions are:

1, what kind of configuration and apps would ubuntu users on this list recommend for day to day work which are accessible with orca?

Second question is, is there a way to get the latest orca git master and replace orca 3.38.0 with the master version?

Thankyou in advance and best regards.

Francisco.
