This will let you hit a key and see what Orca will do with it. I know it's not the easiest thing in the world, but I review Orca's key commands by going into Orca's settings. Hit Orca+space and then one of the tabs to the right is the key mappings tab. This is a table you can navigate to review Orca's key commands. I assume you're running Windows with Ubuntu in a virtual machine. You should be able to start the install of VMware tools through the VMware interface. It's been years since I've done this, but I think you'll get an image mounted to your virtual copy of Ubuntu, which will have the installer for VMware tools You might need to extradct it first and you may need to change the permissions to make it executable. It's just been too long since I've done it. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail > -----Original Message----- > From: Ubuntu-accessibility > On Behalf Of Austin Pinto > Sent: Monday, May 4, 2020 7:29 AM > To: ubuntu-accessibility at lists.ubuntu.com > Subject: starting to learn Ubuntu as a second os. have some accessibility > questions. > > hi all. > i made vm of the latest ltsb version of Ubuntu. > i have the following questions. > 1. is there a video series, podcast or guide to learn the entire use of orca? > 2. is there some other tts for orca if yes how to get them? > 3. is there a list of orca and plain Ubuntu keyboard shortcuts? > i also want to install vmware tools. how do i do that? > > -- > Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list > Ubuntu-accessibility at lists.ubuntu.com > https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility From dcrone215 at gmail.com Tue May 5 12:56:58 2020 From: dcrone215 at gmail.com (Daniel Crone) Date: Tue, 5 May 2020 07:56:58 -0500 Subject: Ubuntu 20.04 Message-ID: <71BDEA83-3EFB-456D-AB37-57A1C23102D3@gmail.com> Hello everyone. I am using Ubuntu 2020 with a Dell. When installing Ubuntu mate 2020.04 yesterday, I pressed f 12 to get to the boot menu. Then went to what I thought was the dvd choice.

Then the choice whether to use Ubuntu before installing, or to install appeared. After entering on use before installing I then brought up Orca with super alt s.

I'm guessing that is what happened when you pressed F12. Most computers any more, especially one that can run Ubuntu 2020, would not need F12 to select the boot device. It is older computers that didn't automatically do that, because in those days, there weren't a lot of reasons to boot to another device. So the correct choice would be to just put in the disk, boot, and let it go for a few seconds, and when it beeps, just press enter. It will then boot into Ubuntu, and you can press super + S for Orca. HTH.

So dd if= would fill in the filename, unless you do have more than one file, in which case, you can tab again and get the list. If you are typing a letter or two and the tab completion isn't working, my best guess is that the filename is capitalized and you're typing a lowercase letter, or else the filename is lowercase and you're typing a capital letter, in which case, Bash won't correct you. That said, usb-creator-gtk is probably your best option, as it allows you to choose exactly the file and device you want. ~Kyle From glennervin at cableone.net Mon May 11 18:24:24 2020 From: glennervin at cableone.net (Glenn K0LNY) Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 13:24:24 -0500 Subject: Latest Ubuntu For a CD Message-ID: <00bb01d627c1$667f04a0$7001a8c0@NUCPPYH> Hi, I want to install Ubuntu on a computer with 512 mb of RAM, and it only has a CD drive.

I used this method recently on an old desktop from 2002 and on an old 2004 laptop whose DVD drive wasn't working, to install Debian Buster. I used my ASUS router with merlin firmware as the netboot (aka PXE boot) server which served the installation media from a USB drive over the home network. If it's not supported by your router, you can set up the netbooting services on just about any flavor of Linux, it's just a little more complicated. There are many guides on the internet explaining how to do it. I don't need Orca, so I don't know if Debian Buster installation media supports it. I do know Ubuntu 18.04 did provide 32 bit installation media, IF the CPU supports PAE. The LXDE flavor, Lubuntu 18.04 might run in 512MB RAM? I don't know if their installation media has Orca, though. If you do try a ubuntu 18.04 flavor, stick with 18.04.1. The newer point releases have newer kernels that might not play nice on old hardware. Even later 4.15 kernels that came with 18.04 updates caused problems on my old laptop due to mitigations for CPU vulnerabilities, like SPECTRE. If you find the computer is unstable after upgrading, try using the kernel parameter, nopti, for no page table isolation.

Ubuntu 20.04 is using the desktop icons GNOME shell extension, which works differently to how the desktop used to be handled. You will need to investigate whether there is any keyboard accessibility for this extension, and if not, file a bug upstream and work with the developer upstream to get it implemented.

Nethack being one example and alteraeon another. I downloaded the kallisti-pack so I'd be able to play that game too. In archlinux at least there's crawl and zapm both of which I have installed on another machine along with omega. For those games that are not mud games you have to learn the symbol meanings to play them. They're ascii symbols if you want to use a screen reader so those will speak. I suppose dictionaries could be compiled so tile interfaces would also work but I've never done that and wouldn't attempt it since I've never seen anything in this life and that's work for someone with perfectly useable eyes. I play all of these on command line. If someone installs frotz and frobtads you get access to tads and z-machine games and I have both of those installed on another machine. Unfortunately gargoyle isn't accessible and that has to be played in graphical interface and I don't know of any other games written for graphical user interface that will work well enough with orca. Another game called sipan for command line is available on archlinux but I've not got that one yet though it works with the command line. A game on archlinux called bcrawl is a continuation of crawl but it has to be played in graphical user interface. I don't know if that one is orca-compatible though. -- From vsmiro at seznam.cz Sat May 23 15:24:59 2020 From: vsmiro at seznam.cz (=?UTF-8?B?Vm9qdMSbY2ggxaFtaXJv?=) Date: Sat, 23 May 2020 17:24:59 +0200 Subject: games and linux In-Reply-To: <9F876410-5DE6-4739-8680-52D42142765C@gmail.com> References: <9F876410-5DE6-4739-8680-52D42142765C@gmail.com> Message-ID: Hello my friend, I am glad to see there is someone new who want to play games. It is really hard. Sapi5 is hard to option in Wine and Ticonblu games are really hard for processor. You have to use Windows or Mac version,. I have primary linux only, so I can't play many games. And for some games I have Vinux 5 with Sapi5 installed. I can play for example Beatstar, Rhytmrage, Super egg hunt, etc. But not Ticonblu games and any others. And of course, Crazy party is my best game. I would like to play SoundRTS too, but I can't play linux version, it can't speak and I can't option it, I don't know how. Best regards Vojta.
