GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 588509
Crashes and auto-closes when not runned as root
Last modified: 2009-07-27 22:28:56 UTC
Steps to reproduce: 1. Do not running using gksu or gksudo in front of orca on "alt+f2" command. 2. When the session starts using the startup option for orca in the accessibility tab on assistive tecnologies on system->preferences menu. Stack trace: Other information:
Please report the results of running the following commands: uname -a gnome-about --version orca --version In addition, if you run Orca from the command line, do you get any errors? Finally, please try enabling debug (http://live.gnome.org/Orca/Debugging) and post a debug log file.
$uname -a Linux user 2.6.29-backports.2-686-bigmem #1 SMP Sun May 17 21:59:36 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux $gnome-about --version GNOME gnome-about 2.22.3 $orca --version Orca 2.22.2 ...
It's very difficult edit the config file to setup the debugging option. Both top and botton menus crashes, I can't do anything that isn't go to one tty and purge orca using apt-get and restarting the pc, logging out/in doesn't makes the desktop become normal again. I will add a special laucher on my desktop to run gedit as root, otherwise I don't find any middles to do it. What is the name of orca's processes to kill with killall -9 ? I try kill orca process but it still turned on, and the desktop broken. I will try it, then I back the results since as possible.
I got the right way to kill orca. Using ctrl+C on terminal that is running orca. I got this output after doing it: user@user:~$ orca ^Cuser@user:~$ /usr/bin/orca: line 84: 4668 Morto /usr/bin/python -c "import orca.orca; orca.orca.main()" "$ARGS" Morto means dead in portuguese. This is a translated thing, I guess.

I need know how first. It brings issues for my system?
(In reply to comment #8) > I need know how first. It brings issues for my system? The easiest way is to install a operating system distribution that includes it for you.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME. Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.
