Description of problem: I run orca because i m blind. So i enable orca in GDM and in the Gnome-Session. After Login i have in the audio settings (applications tab) 2 times the speech-dispatcher stream. if i look with top, one of the speech-dispatcher processes have the UID gdm and the other the id of my user. The instance of the GDM have 100% cpu load. cause of this my fan runs and runs and runs :/ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): orca 3.8.1 speech-dispatcher 0.7.1 How reproducible: 1.enable orca (the screenreader) over the accessibility menu in gdm 2.enable the screenreader over the accessibility menu in the usersession 3.make sure that espeak works with orca and speech-dispatcher 4.reboot 5.after boot -> orca came up and read the loginscreen 6.LOGIN 7.after login orca came up with your usersession. Actual results: After login the speech-dispatcher process of the user GDM runs with 100 percent load And the speech-dispatcher for the user runs normal. Expected results: only the speech-dispatcher of the user runs Additional info: Dell vostro 3360 with core i7 after i kill the wrong speech-dispatcher process everything runs normal
I also see this. 100% cpu use by speech-dispatcher (1 core). I don't need orca (but would like to be able to use it ocassionally) so have uninstalled it for now and problem has stopped.
I see this not only happens in GDM (but in my case if gdm starts with orca, there is 100 % load), this also happens in reguler use. for example if i surf the net with firefox.
On my I7 X86_64, load ramps quickly from approx 1.0 to over 2.0, but only after Orca is started.

@chris can you please provide more debug. Ultimately -1 karma on a package update needs further debug. Ultimately if it doesn't fix the problem but doesn't regress the problem we need to move to the newer version and do debug there because upstream no longer support this current release and we need to do debug against the latest release. If we can't do that we can't fix this bug and I'll close it won't fix
