Public bug reported: Dear Developers,
If in Unity Greeter the screen reader a11y support are enabled, random time Orca exiting after started. This situation Orca spokening following type message: "Welcome to Orca. Login frame. Good bye." If this problem are happening, I need press two time the CTRL+S keystroke to start Orca again in login screen. In unity-greeter source package the src/menubar.vala file have following code with Orca related: private void screen_reader_toggled_cb (Gtk.CheckMenuItem item) { /* FIXME: The below would be sufficient if gnome-session were running * to notice and run a screen reader in /etc/xdg/autostart... But * since we're not running gnome-session, we hardcode orca here. /*var settings = new Settings ("org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications");*/ /*settings.set_boolean ("screen-reader-enabled", item.active);*/ UGSettings.set_boolean (UGSettings.KEY_SCREEN_READER, item.active); /* Hardcoded orca: */ try { if (item.active) Process.spawn_command_line_async ("orca --replace --no-setup --disable splash-window,main-window"); else Process.spawn_command_line_async ("orca --quit"); } catch (Error e) { warning ("Failed to run Orca: %s", e.message); } } Attila ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: unity-greeter 0.2.6-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-21.34-generic-pae 3.2.13 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-21-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 2.0-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Apr 2 09:22:23 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Beta i386 (20120327) SourcePackage: unity-greeter UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: unity-greeter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: a11y apport-bug i386 precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971316 Title: If screen reader are enabled during login screen, some time Orca exiting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/971316/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
