Re: orca not speaking at the login screan
Hi Daniel, speakers/headset plugged into normal sound out port should work, however usb sound devices are not active until after login, on Vinux, at least.

The only issue that I'm running into is the fact that at the login screen orca isn't active. Anyone come accross this before and know a solution?

Re: 14.04 logon screen: Orca starts up and immediately shuts down
Hi Nick, before you log in, everything is being run by root. The drums sound, and/or screen-reader are telling you to enter your password. Once you do this, orca will be restarted by Nick automatically. Security! Alt + super + s is a toggle, will turn orca on or off. (super is also known as the windows key.) The two keys to the left or right of the space bar, + s will do the job, on an international key board. Hope This Helps, Bill On 12/10/15 20:21, Nick Wood wrote: Hi all, I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (32-bit) and have Orca set to start automatically at the logon screen, but I'm getting some weird behaviour: Basically what happens is this: 1. I get the sound of the drums. 2. Orca says: "Screen reader on. Login screen frame. Screen reader off." 3. I then have to start up Orca again using the Alt+Super+S combination and after that it seems OK. I don't see this behaviour on my Fedora 22 box - just the Ubuntu one. Anyone got any ideas why Orca is shutting down? The fact that it says "Screen reader off" makes me think it's a controlled shutdown rather than a crash.

Re: how to get Orca to speak in lightdm
Hi Milton, On my trusty 14.04.2 in settings/universal access/ screen reader it says "turn on or off: alt + super + s" and I think was in use on earlier 14.04 . hope this helps, bill On 28/04/15 16:30, Milton wrote: In lightdm I use ctrl_S to start Orca to speak. But now it won't work. a sighted person told me that there is only one account shown in the login screen. so I think it is not lightdm. In the software Centre I delete the Lubuntu-desktop but I still stay with another dm. Milton Op 28-04-15 om 05:39 schreef B. Henry: It is once logged in for sure, but I thought it was different on log-in screen, aI may be wrong though, but now that I hear the lu instead of ubuntu I'm wondering if lightdm is even used . LXDM does not speak as far as I know, but perhaps it is not used. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Ubuntu server 12.04 and speakup

I am taking a networking class at college now and I need to install ubuntu server for part of the class. How do I get speakup installed and running in ubuntu server 12.04? Ihave been looking on google but I can't seem to find anything. I am just not sure what to be looking for Thank you, Greg Wocher Hi Greg the server and GUI versions of 13.04 run the same kernel, with speakup loaded. 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 -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: changing default time ubuntu prompts for password when computer sitting idle?
or in the same place you can turn it off altogether. bill On 08/13/2012 11:51 AM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: Which version of Ubuntu are you running? In Ubuntu 12.04, it looks like you can do this by hitting alt+f1 and arrowing down to system settings. Arrow over to and press enter on brightness and lock and you'll end up in a dialog where you can set how long before the screen saver comes up.

I have just updated Vinux 3.0.2 Beta to Vinux 3.0.2 on several boxes. I installed 3.0.2, formatted / partition; but selected ext4, but not check format box for /home partition. Use same user name and password. This won't work on a single partition install, of course.
