Re: How to start gnome-orca along with windows manager

Hi,

Thank you all for your feedback. I want to make correction.

 * The gnome orca already started after successful login. I have no
   problem here.
 * What I want is to make orca run before I login or when X started. I
   need it to read what's on screen, like when choosing or typing username.

I tried creating ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession and both doesn't do what I want. Still surfing the internet for answer. Hopefully I can find one here.

FYI:

 * Using Mate desktop
 * Using parrot OS (Debian based)


Best Regards

Did you have a specific window manager in mind that you wanted to use? With a full desktop, setting
gsettings org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled true
and
gsettings set org.mate.interface accessibility true
will enable necessary accessibility for most applications and cause Orca to start automatically. This will work for both GNOME and MATE. You can also build your own custom X session with any of several window managers and other components. Either put everything you need into ~/.xinitrc with an & at the end of each line except the last line that runs whatever window you want on top and run it with
startx
with no arguments, or put the same commands into any script of any name and call it on the startx command line, e.g. you have a script that runs Orca, your window manager and Firefox. You can write a script that looks like
#!/bin/bash
orca&
windowmanager&
firefox
and call it firefox-wrapper, or whatever you like. You would then run it as
startx firefox-wrapper
This is the way I have several things working now in a project I'm currently working on using the Kies text menu, but including Firefox, Chrome and LibreOffice among other X applications for use on a Raspberry Pi, where system resources are still at a premium. It seems to work pretty well, although some window managers will work better than others. Hopefully my experience will help somewhat.
