Screen Reader "run at start" option is cleared after reboot in Ubuntu 24.04 Mate beta

  • 772

This should be a bug. But I don't know where I should report. It doesn't crash and I don't know which package this bug belongs to.

Here is the reproduce steps:

  1. Login Ubuntu 24.04 Mate beta
  2. Menu->Preferences->Assistive Technologies->Preferred Applications->check "Run at start" (below Orca Screen Reader)
  3. Reboot
  4. Screen Reader is not run at start and the item checked at step 2 is unchecked.

This issue affects all blind users. They need to start screen reader manually with shortcut SUPER+ALT+s at start.

    I think I have found some clues why the option is restore after reboot. I ignored a crash Window at boot. speech-dispatcher crashes at start. So Orca fail to launch. When Orca fail to launch, the screen reader option will be turned off.

    It may not be a problem of speech-dispatcher of the beta version because I have installed a modified version. I will take a deeper investigation.
