problems after update

2006-09-16 Thread mike coulombe
Hi, does anyone know what the smallest drive is you can use for install.
I used a two gb which worked fine.
However after getting the large update something like 300 packages,
I had the following problem.
First I didn't get any low space warning,
however after restarting the system things didn't work.
I got the log in sound. But when I logged in I got no sound
and my daughter said the screen was blank with the mouse pointer in the middle.
Also how long should it take to format a 40 gb drive.
Thanks Mike.

After updating and rebooting I'm still seeing the problem.

Re: updates using orca

2006-09-16 Thread Kenny Hitt
Hi.

I use apt-get in the terminal to update my system since I loose speech
when I sudo in a gtk app.  Hopefully, the at-spi design decision that
tied at-spi to the user will be fixed.

For now, try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If i'm not totally mistaken here, the syntax should be:
apt-get install gnome-orca
Hope this helps.

trying to get updates

2006-09-16 Thread mike coulombe
Hi, this time when I ran update it said to use the package manager,
because software had to be removed.
I tried that but got no speech.
Is there a way to use apt-get to get the latest orca.
If so how. I tried the following.
 apt-get install orca.
It said reading package then package not found.
 
  Mike.

Hi, is it possible to get updates using orca.
Maybe I am doing something wrong, because pressing enter on update doesn't seem 
to do anything.

query on accessibility of KDE with orca

2006-09-16 Thread krishnakant Mane
hi henrik and other brillient people on the list.
I want to know what is the current status of KDE accessibility API.
I browsed the accessibility page for KDE but could not get any
relevant information.
I had already posted henric on this issue.  this is a bit urgent
because I am doing a presentation as I mentioned some time ago, for
accessibility on a nation wide base.
it will be done on Monday, 18th of september.  I want to know if there
is accessibility api built in with the KDE desktop.  I heard that
AT-SPI/ATK  is being ported to k desktop.  how well can this work?
how easy it is currently to build a screen reader for KDE? and how is
oarca shaping up in this context?
what is the current status on that??
I often read a lot of accessibility talk on the qt web site.  I am
basically a gnome user so don't quite know the insides of KDE.  but I
have the impression that KDE is built using qt? is that right?
if so then how much accessibility will be available if QT becomes accessible.
Please provide me some details as it will help me make visually
handicap  community understand that there is no fear in using linux
and more so ubuntu linux because it is leading as far as desktop
convinience and comfort of use is concerned.
secondly we are planning to start a screen reader project for kde and
will like to merge it with kubuntu.
so please provide some details.
thanks,
Krishnakant.

[Bug 58701] Re: Calc - AT-SPI causes crash

2006-09-16 Thread Daniel Holbach
Um, I'm not sure if the communication went alright. Without a backtrace
or any other sign it's hard to say whose fault it is.
