GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 563128
Text-based setup should offer option to automatically launch Orca on login
Last modified: 2009-03-10 14:25:33 UTC
Users have mentioned that they need to go through a two step process to get Orca setup and automatically launched: 1) Run Orca for the first time, which puts you in the text-based setup mode. 2) Log out and log back in, then launch Orca again. This will bring up the GUI preferences dialog where you can select the option to automatically launch Orca. It would be desirable if the user were able to select "automatically launch Orca on login" as part of the text-based setup mode.
Created attachment 127103 [details] [review] Patch to add option to text-based setup This patch seems to work as long as you are logged into a GNOME session. From a virtual console, the gconfClient calls in settings.py seem to fail. This includes all the gconfClient calls and not just this new one, though. So, that's a separate issue to worry about. In addition, I'm now noticing strange behavior when autostarting Orca on my OpenSolaris desktop. I see two cases: 1) it either sees a timeout failure and quits or 2) it runs, but the braille monitor doesn't display and speech is not output. I verified #2 by having it create debug logs -- the logs show that Orca is happily generating speech commands and such, but no speech is heard whatsoever. Very strange, but also a separate issue from this one.
