orca not starting - TIMEOUT: something has hung. Aborting.
On Debian buster
, running orca
(or orca -r
) results in:
TIMEOUT: something has hung. Aborting.
To debug was following https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca/Debugging - Using $HOME/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py
import orca.debug
import time
orca.debug.debugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_ALL
orca.debug.eventDebugLevel = orca.debug.LEVEL_OFF
orca.debug.debugFile = open(time.strftime('debug-%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S.out'), 'w')
Are instructions on https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Orca/Debugging up to date?
Debug log contains nothing helpful.

espeak-ng --stdout "this is a test" | aplay
is functional. Can hear "this is a test".
SPI also looks functional as per https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Accessibility/AT-SPI2/ with these test commands
$ xprop -root | grep SPI

Something related I found: https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/8075 But I don't think that applies anymore? I guess orca no longer requires localhost port 4101 since it's all unix domain socket file based nowadays?
Anything else I can do to debug this?
Should I provide the strace
(~ 2.2 MB size) file?
