OK, I swear that my system noticed me sending my previous message and decided to get in line. :)
For the first time I can recall, notifications spontaneously fixed themselves during the course of a session. They just started speaking. Checking ps shows that notify-osd appears to have been launched a few minutes ago, and the log was cleared and rewritten, no longer containing days of missed notifications. So I'm wondering if it's a timing issue? Maybe notify-osd is starting before accessibility support is initialized, and as such isn't sending events? Then, if it crashes or is respawned for whatever reason, accessibility support is initialized and things start working? Just a hunch, as I seem to recall other similar timing issues in the past. Though this wouldn't explain instances wehen notify-osd stops speaking notifications during a session, but maybe I've misremenbered those, and maybe it's always been something that either works or doesn't at startup. If it fails again, I'll kill and relaunch it manually to see if that definitely does it, but for now I'm hesitant to break what works. :) -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
