Now that you mention that, I wonder if I could have gone to a terminal and did: sudo apt-get update and fixed the problem. I could have done that much without speech.

If you do try anymore ubuntu I suggest getting your system installed.

Re: Orca does not speak
Hi, In Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit I assist a sighted person with using Ubuntu. After I did Alt+F2 and typed 'orca' Orca starts but after 10 or 20 seconds Orca quits. with the help of the sighted person I ceck the screen reader in System settings > Universal access and Orca was working well. Maybe this can help? Milton Op 06-08-16 om 06:43 schreef Rob Whyte: Why not rm -rf ~/.local/share/orca and try again before messing with Pulse.

Very probably a pulseaudio problem. Another list I read had a person downgrade pulseaudio and all associated utilities and that's how he got orca working again.

Re: hardi beta problem, orca does not speak for installation.
hello Mr. mohomad. thanks for the information. well, it means it is a known bug. it seams to me that this is some thing to do with orca not properly set to default parameters. because it is only when we say orca --no-setup that it gives a problem. any ways do let me know when the bug is fixt. I hope beta2 or some thing might fix it.

Orca does not speak on latest Ubuntu Live CD
Hi everyone, Would it be best to download an earlier version of the Ubuntu Live CD to try Orca while the latest one is being fixed? I ask because it is not clear to me if Orca fails to work only in the Live CD or also when this CD is installed to disk. I just want to avoid installing the most recent version if this will make it more difficult to try out Orca.
