Help!!! Is there something in Orca master that you absolutely want to use? Bare in mind that the master branch in orca git only works using python 3, and in order to use Orca on python 3, you also need to make sure all Orca's python dependencies are set up to be used with python 3 as well. Either way, whether it be git master, or the Orca 3.6 git branch, you do need a newer at-spi, which again brings me back to asking whether you really need to run the latest and greatest.

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an 8GB thumb drive, with a persistence file of 4GB, this was the 100% option in the Universal Pendrive persistence option. It booted into Ubuntu okay, and I copied the Voxin 0.37 installation folder into the home directory from my windows machine, and in terminal, I went into the voxin-enu-0.37 directory, and typed the following: sudo bash voxin-installer.sh And I looked at the licenses with typing "yes", and when it got to the part where it asks if I want to use this in Orca, I typed "y" for yes, and when I pressed enter, it messed up my Orca that was running, and I used the shut-down option, and now Ubuntu is messed up. I have also tried this with Voxin 0.41 with the same results, that is why I tried an earlier version. Can anyone suggest a solution please? Thanks in advance.

This is Ubuntu 10.04, and Voxin 0.41. So as before, I went to the -enu- folder, and ran: sudo bash voxin-installer.sh and it ran the installation, but it mentioned something about speakup not being installed because some things are missing, etc. Now it is probably loading Orca, but there is no speech at all. I tried insert-Q, and a tab to "quit", and enter, and restarting Orca with still no speech. The audio is working, because I can hear the clunks when I back space in the run window. At this point, without speech, I don't know how to do much. I have done control + alt + T and I can get to the terminal, but I don't know what command might get Orca to work again. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Braille output is not handled directly by Orca but by the brltty daemon, which I believe is running by default on Ubuntu. I checked and the HT Easy Braille is supported: if it is a USB display it should be auto-detected, otherwise, it might be tricky. Cheers, S.M.

I find the accessibility quite good with it, but I have two questions for which I haven't been able to find out anything. 1. Why do the keyboard shortcuts come undone This seems to happen at random intervals. I really hate it and I hope you can give me a permanent fix for it. For example, when you set the alt-tab key to change between applications, and the alt-f4 key to close the window and cancel the session, it seems to work, and, it will work for one or more sessions, but then all this comes undone and I have to set it all up again with the system settings. 2. Why will speakup not build on ubuntu 12.04? This is strange, as I have had it working on other distributions. Any help, especially for the losing of the shortcuts will be appreciated. This is more important than getting speakup to build, even though, I would like to see both fixed if possible. Thanks. Doug Smith.

When I run the command: grub-install /dev/sdb1 it says device not found or not a block device I looked in /media, and /dev/sdb1 is not there, but that is where the installation is, and from where I was using Vinux, so it should be there. I don't know if the other boot-loader would work any better, I have never installed it. Thanks for any assistance.

To get speech in precise-server (AFTER INSTALL) you need to install alsa-utils first sudo apt-get install alsa-utils alsamixer #so you can turn on sound . #you need OO under each slider # change by hitting "m". "mm" (for Mute) is the #only alternative to "OO" sudo apt-get install espeakup -y modprobe speakup_soft start=1 sh /etc/init.d/espeakup start I find that I have to start speech manually each time, so to fix that use tour favourite editor (nano in my case) sudo nano /etc/modules #add the line speakup_soft start=1 #save and restart . It should come up talking. Installing precise - server will need sighted assisance. I have done many installs and reinstalls in an attempt to come up with documentation that could step VIP's through it, but there are many alternatives, depending on previous choices. I was hoping that accepting defaults would work, using the entire hard drive, then patching time zone, host name , Keyboard and so on once speech was running. I have assisted one person , speaking on mangler, and him sending me photo's of his screen via Dropbox. (We do have a common folder) Speech for the install would be handy, there are a few users working on it, but no joy yet. maybe one day someone with some knowledge will have time to have a look. bill -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Some of the NEXT buttons appears only for a split of a second. My sighted assistance could click very fast on that button before its got greyed. Maybe somebody notice this or maybe it is only on my live cd? I just thought to mention it. Milton -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
