I looked at the contents of the at-spi2-core package, and found that at-spi-bus-launcher and at-spi2-registryd are located in directory /usr/lib/at-spi2-core/ . As that's not in your path, you'll get "command not found" trying to run them by their simple names. Use their full paths when running them. In any case, the desktop autostart file for at-spi is at /etc/xdg/autostart/at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop , and it shows the normal startup command to be: /usr/lib/at-spi2-core/at-spi-bus-launcher --launch-immediately
Re: [arch-general] Restarting at-spi2?
I have had occasional problems similar to this, but also don't know how to fix them. You may have better results posting to the Orca list[1], as that's where the orca devs themselves hang out, so they may be able to better help you. Hope this helps.

[arch-general] Restarting at-spi2?
hi all I am currently using orca v3.6.1 on xfce 4.10. Occasionally orca will crash causing me to have to restart it. This will sometimes also crash the at-spi2 bridge, causing orca to restart but then refuse to read anything on the screen until i reboot. I've tried to track down the processes responsible for at-spi. Typing ps -e | grep -i at-spi gives me two processes. at-spi2-dbus-launcher and at-spi2-registryd. I tried to write a script to restart at-spi2 by simply killall -9 at-spi2-dbus-launcher and at-spi2-registryd, then restarts them. but I get a command not found error when trying to restart both of them. Knowing nothing about dbus, I'm lost here. can anyone help? I've tried looking at the .config/autostart/at-spi2-registryd file provided with xfce, but it doesn't have the command I need to start at-spi2. I've researched on the web, but haven't found anything promising, only old bug reports that have been closed, and some forum posts, also about old bug reports. my search term was "restarting at-spi2." Any help/documentation/manpages are greatly appreciated.

Is there a guarantee that `adm` group will be confined to only journald and not
include wider priviledges in the future? By default it is probably unnecessary
to have a log group as supplied by `filesystem`, but I I would still keep its
creation in syslog-ng.install and similar. This way users who need a better
logger than the journal will have a proper group setup...

[arch-general] xf86-video-ati -- trouble ahead
as per https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56986, there's some trouble with ver. 7.0.0 of this driver. it needs KMS mode now, but according to a couple comments, it doesn't wok with that either. if it doesn't, it took me almost 5 min. to downgrade to the previous version, 6.14.6. -- phani.

Here the updated PKGBUILD file. And its diff:

I updated the package version and added '--disable-example' configure
option. The second change is optional but makes build a little bit
faster as we do not need examples for Arch package.
wrt 2.9.2 version stability - this is an incremental update that
recommended by the upstream developer. One of my current job duties is
to support fuse filesystems at the company's production servers (this
includes also backporting kernel bug fixes). We use 2.9.2 at our 24x7
servers for a while and we do not see any issues with it. I think this
version is stable enough.
