Hi all. Hoping there are some #blind #linux users out there that can help me out. I’m using an old computer, not the one I mentioned in my previous posts, but a different one, and #Orca isn’t speaking. I originally installed #Ubuntu Mate, but Orca was freezing a lot, so I switched my #DesktopEnvironment to #KDEPlasma. It seemed like a lot of things were inaccessible, though, so I decided to try #Gnome. I installed Gnome, chose GDM as the display manager, and restarted the computer. Now, Orca works on the login screen but nowhere else. It seems to be running, and when I run “orca --replace” in the terminal, I get an error about something only working with X11. I’ve been able to tell that by scanning the screen with #SeeingAI on my #iPhone. I need to get Orca up and running again so I can use my computer. What’s the best way to do this, preferably without sighted help, as my mom and stepdad aren’t good with #technology.
