After a installation using orca it doesn't auto start in the Ubuntu desktop

[Javier López]

Release of Ubuntu: Ubuntu precise, 12.04
Package Version: ubiquity 2.10.16, gnome-orca 3.4.0-0ubuntu2
Expected Results: After a blind installation, gnome-orca should auto start in the Ubuntu Desktop
Actual Results: Gnome-orca doesn't autostart after an installation by a blind user

STEPS

Install ubuntu following http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Install/DesktopAccessibility
Configure to auto login to the Ubuntu desktop
Restart (after finishing the installation)

Close your eyes and try to enable orca after the Ubuntu deskop is loaded

Does Orca load properly if you reboot your system, and auto login to the created account?

[Javier López (javier-lopez)]

Hi Luke,

No, when configured it to auto login (from the installer) Orca doesn't start automatically, it doesn't matter how many times I reboot it, however I made another test and found that if configured to ask the password (default in the installer) it then load Orca at the login prompt and then again in the desktop.

Thanks. Being the one who implemented the a11y code at install time, its something I didn't test, but if it were up to me, there would be no automatic login option at all. :) I will chase this up.

Thanks Luke!

I don't want to get you over loaded, however, there is another bug who makes very difficult to install Ubuntu, I suspect that the code to fix it must live probably at the same level of this one, #986711

Yes, I am aware of that, but I am not sure if thats something that can be fixed for any precise point release, but I will see what I can do.

Things have been refactored for 16.04, and this should work. Plesae reply if this is still a problem in 16.04
