Description:
First off. Please do not close this bug untill a braille user has confirmed that brltty is working. There was a bug on the same topic, but it is now closed. First, here is a link to the apparent complaint. I'm not sure if this is due to the move to at-spi2 or the change in the key. But I'd like to let this bug sit here untill someone with more knowlege than I has a chance to comment on it. AKA any of the following people: Michael Whapples(mwhapples), Trevor Saunders, Mike Gorse. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2012-February/msg00112.html http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2011-April/msg00128.html https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116566 The problem of at-spi and at-spi2 has been in the system since 2010, however no solution to it has been provided till now. And now on a vanila system, as far as I can tell, at-spi and at-spi2 conflict: http://mielke.cc/pipermail/brltty/2012-February/008410.html So don't be too quick to close this bug. Lets get things sorted out. |
This task depends upon
at-spi is not installed along with at-spi2 unless dasher is installed.
All the other components like brltty, pyatspi, at-spi2-core are in place.
Braille should work, but I cannot confirm this. Ubuntu did switch to at-spi2 only since their last release.
I stopped testing accessibility on arch since I could not get accerciser to run sensibly with python 2/3 and at-spi 1/2 all mixed up the last time I tried.

I have an idea, which is that maybe he has in his /etc/brltty.conf file brltty set to use at-spi 1 and that the problem is on his side. I'll ask him to post that file next.
I've just done a clean install of Arch and come across what is presumably this bug. If I run brltty no Braille is displayed. I then ran brltty -n -e and got the following error:
Can't get dbus session bus: ... unable to autolaunch a dbus daemon without a $DISPLAY for x11.
FS#34409. Any objection to closing this?
