Hi Alex,

Hi Milton
I only use Orca myself but often people ask me for magnification. 
Because I got no result in Unity and Gnome-flashback-Metacity I use 
Gnome-shell 3.10.4.
OK, it's a very old version of Gnome that I haven't used. I used Gnome 3 
since Gnome 3.16.
I do not know the screen level because Orca do not say this. I use the 
build-in magnifyer, I toggel the zoom, zoom-in en zoom-out through the 
shortcut keys in Systemsettings > Keyboardsetting. So I did not check 
the magnification in the compizconfig-setting-manager.
You can install CCSM because the information is provided by 
Accessibility section on Gnome settings panel.

Can you give me more information about users :
- Are there visual impaired ?
- At which zoom level they find it blurry ?

Personally I've a so bad view to find anything blurry.

Best regards.

Re: blurry view with magnification in Gnome

[David Goldsbrough]

I am learning as I go with all this and my level of understanding is still
not that great.
I only recently suffered from low vision due to a retina tear in my left
eye.  My right eye has been next to useless since I was 14.  I am now 62.
I also have to configure Windoze 7 for my voluntary work that uses an app
that only works through Internet Explorer.
What I have found so far is that there are at least 3 or 4 approaches to
achieving some degree of acceptable use in both Operating Systems.  When it
comes to clarity - then I have found that only comes with increased
magnification but then I lose content so need to scroll more.  I find
Firefox brilliant for all its add-ons and currently use Nosquint and Theme
Font & Size Changer to really get a browser experience that suits my
needs.  Add compiz to this which assists with zooming and I get by - just
and even then I often need to resort to a hand-held magnifying glass.
Talking of which- I am convinced that a lower tech solution can help so my
optician is making up some specs for me purely for computer work - I take
delivery Thursday and fully expect to go back to the drawing board to tweek
my systems.

no WIFI in Ubuntu Mate on Banana PI

[Glenn / Lenny]

Hi,
I am running Ubuntu Mate 15.04 on a Banana PI M1, 1GB of RAM.
It runs pretty well with Orca.
Only one thing so far, it connects via Ethernet cable plugged into the router, 
but will not connect via WIFI.
I have a Belkin USB WIFI dongle, which works in pretty much anything else I 
have ever used it on.
When I go to system, preferences, Internet, and networks,
it only shows the LAN.
I tried adding the wireless by hand, and I'm sure I got everything in right, 
but it still will not connect.
I go to the terminal and run:
iwconfig
and it tells me 
no wireless extensions
on all the items it scanned.
I hope someone has some ideas to get it going.
Thanks.
Glenn

Fwd: no WIFI in Ubuntu Mate on Banana PI

[Brendan Perrine]

I don't think this is technically the correct list for this as this is 
more about acessibilty bugs in ubuntu. I know you can get user support 
for ubuntu-mate in #ubuntu-mate on irc in freenode. However I don't orca 
reads the incoming chat messages to the chanel. And this can be an 
accessbility problem to provide support. I also looked on 
lists.ubuntu.com and there was not an ubuntu-mate list there.


 To solve Glen wifi problem we need to know like the exact chipset of 
the wifi in you your usb and also helpful would be what arm version  the 
ubuntu-mate is that works and what ubuntu mate you installed. I 
overheard the rasperi pi image does not come with many kernel modules 
built in for external stuff so that might be the problem getting wifi 
working if it does not have the module built for your usb wifi. If you 
have an accessible ubuntu computer you cannot connect to wifi with if 
you install the inxi package and run inxi -n you will get the module you 
need may to build or add to the kernel for say the rasperi pi image 
unfortanetly but doing something like this may be a good way to get the 
pi flavor maker to work.

Hi Alex,

I only use Orca myself but often people ask me for magnification. 
Because I got no result in Unity and Gnome-flashback-Metacity I use 
Gnome-shell 3.10.4. I do not know the screen level because Orca do not

Hi List,

Hi Milton

I use Ubuntu 14.04.3 with Orca 3.18 and installed gnome-shell for
someone to work with magnification. I also installed
compizconfig-settings-manager and compiz-plugins. Now I can toggle
magnification on or off, zoom in and zoom out. The only thing left to
be perfect is sharpness. The view is blurry. Did I miss something? Do
you have tips for me?

Can you explain your problem with more detailed ?. If I remember Gnome3
and Compiz aren't compatible. What desktop environment are you using and
what screen magnifier ? At which level of zoom are you (6x/7x and more ?)?

I believe but not sure the visual impaired community are mostly composed
of blind people. We are a very little community that uses screen
magnifier at the time but I expect with recent changes new user come to
grow the Linux screen magnifier community.

Best regards.
