[Bug 1231091] [NEW] Screenreader starts, but quits working in live session on install

[Luke Yelavich]

What happens when you launch the live image directly to the desktop, and
enable accessibility from the F5 accessibility menu?

I was able to use the terminal as you described, although I had to do so
after using alt tab to make sure it was switched to. I think Orca works
better when nautilus properly loads, and there is a desktop frame for
point of reference. THings behave correctly when I booted the live image
directly to the desktop, and enabled accessibility from the boot menu.

Yes ubiquity is not accessible, when being run from the live session,
but that is moreso an ubiquity problem, because Orca is able to work
with applications if they are running as root, including their GUI.

Moving to ubiquity for now, and I'll try digging a bit further next
week.

Title:
  Screenreader starts, but quits working in live session on install

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Image: 20130925

  I started the image and let it boot to the gui selector for live
  session or install only. When the drum sound played, I pressed ctrl-s
  to start the screen reader and heard the familiar "screenreader on"
  sound, and it read the options to me.  From there, I started the live
  session, and went into the installer, but orca would not read any of
  the screens.  I also started a terminal window and noticed that it
  says "window" when I move the mouse over the unity launcher icon, and
  "unity dash" when I click on it, but nothing in the terminal is read
  to me either.  So I don't think this is limited to just ubiquity.
