Description of problem: Starting Orca screenreader results in Orca attempting to start but suddenly crashing after reading a line. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (taken from "yum info orca") Nome : orca Arch : i386 Versione : 2.22.1 Release : 2.fc9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start orca (both from command line and from Alt+F2) Actual results: Orca crashes just after the start. However, at least, it seems to start as, some seconds after the crash, you can hear the voice synthesizer reading the line displayed before the crash: "Abilitare l'eco sulla parola? Inserire sì o no" Expected results: Not to crash. :-) Additional info: Output from command line: Benvenuto nelle impostazioni di Orca. Abilitare l'eco sulla parola? Inserire sì o no: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca.py", line 996, in _showPreferencesConsole module.showPreferencesUI(_commandLineSettings) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca_console_prefs.py", line 437, in showPreferencesUI (not setupSpeech(prefsDict)): File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca_console_prefs.py", line 299, in setupSpeech speechVoiceChoice) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/orca/orca_console_prefs.py", line 111, in sayAndPrint return raw_input(text) EOFError: EOF when reading a line

This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
