Re: [orca-list] Orca crashes and fails to start (Arch/Gnome 3.8)

[Kyle <kyle4jesus gmail com>]

Since the accessibility stack is now enabled by default in GNOME, it's
probably not necessary to use orca -t now. Instead of running it in a
text console, try the following steps.

If gdm is not already running, run

systemctl start gdm

as root. If you don't hear a prompt, you have been placed on the login
screen, so you can skip to the keystrokes to enable the talking login.
If you do hear the command prompt, but you didn't hear an error message,
you will most likely be switched to the gdm login screen in a second or
two. If you get an error, as root again, run

systemctl restart gdm

You should automatically be placed at the login screen at this point.
Now press alt-control-tab, the right arrow once, the down arrow 4 times
and then the enter key. If you still don't hear "Welcome to Orca" within
a couple of seconds, go back to your root shell and run

systemctl restart gdm

The login screen should now be speaking. Login to GNOME and wait between
10 seconds and about a minute, depending on the speed of your computer.
Then press alt-control-tab, the right arrow twice, the down arrow 4
times and the enter key. Restart gdm from your root shell again if you
don't hear the welcome message. At this point, your GNOME 3.8 system
should be up and talking. Hope this helps.
