[gentoo-accessibility] it works! Mostly

[Derek Roberts]

Hi all,

First, thanks to the devs for getting this all working! I installed
Gentoo using the live cd from March 8 a couple weeks ago (speakup and
espeakup work!). Had some initial issues (I forgot to put the
filesystem type for /dev/sda5 in /etc/fstab for my root partition!),
but it's been up for about a week now. I tried emerging gnome and
xorg-server a couple days ago, and am having this weird problem. After
I start gnome, I get orca's welcome message, but nothing else. I tried
logging into a console as my normal user, and setting DISPLAY to :0.
When I tried loading orca from there, I got an error saying it
couldn't find or activate the at-spi-registry daemon. So, I tried
starting /usr/libexec/at-spi-registryd manually. It gave me several
assertion errors, and segfaulted. Out of curiosity, I tried starting
at-spi-registryd from my debian filesystem copy. That ran ok (it did
throw a couple errors, but it stayed running), so I started orca. It
came up fine, and that's where I am now. I can start apps from my
normal user's console, but can't access the panels, run apps, or get
to the app menu in gnome. This makes me think I forgot a use flag or
something when I emerged gnome or one of it's deps. Has anyone else
had this problem and if so, what did you do to fix it?

Thanks,
KJ4UFX

Hey all,
Still trying to figure this out. I re-emerged at-spi-registryd, dbus
and gconf with all the debugging stuff, and tried running
/usr/libexec/at-spi-registryd in gdb. Here's what I get:
Starting program: /usr/libexec/at-spi-registryd
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

(process:10250): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: gtype.c:2710: You forgot to
call g_type_init()

`G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed

(process:10250): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion
`G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I also get this in syslog-ng's console:
Apr 24 14:32:06 craptacular kernel: at-spi-registry[5881]: segfault at
c ip b73732b8 sp bfe77b70 error 4 in
libgconf-2.so.4.1.5[b734e000+36000]
Anyone know what could be wrong here? I emerged gconf with the
policykit use flag if it helps. Consolekit and dbus are started as
well. I have no idea what could be wrong with it lol.
I tried running at-spi-registryd from a debian image (I'm not sure
what version of at-spi that is though), and it works mostly, although
the gnome panels aren't accessible. Also, I can't open the menu or run
app dialog, nothing happens when I hit alt+f1 or alt+f2. Makes me
think there's something more interesting going on...
Thanks,
