Shutdown and logout dialog problem under Jaunty
Dear List! Possible fix shutdown and logout inaccessible Orca problem under Jaunty with final release? I write a new comment my ubuntu bugreport with launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/328473): Wilie Walker writing this answer my question with this problem: "Hi Attila: I believe that patch is not what the GTK+ folks intended to be the solution. Instead, the third (the last) patch is the one to use, and is the one that has been committed. If it's not working, either a11y integration is broken in Ubuntu or some more work needs to be done. I suspect a11y integration may be broken on Ubuntu and they need to know about it: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827#c30 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827#c31 Can you contact Ubuntu, please, and try to work through this issue with them? Thanks! Will" I copyed two comment with bug 535227 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827#c30 and http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827#c31) "did at-spi have a schema before? If it didn't, the ubuntu packager may forgotton to add gconftool-2 --makefile-install-rule ... as a post installation step in the package. Can you confirm that the schema is installed by doing: gconftool-2 --get-schema-name /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/gtk-modules/gail:atk-bridge If it's not installed it will yell. Could be there's a bug in GConf like Jens mentions as a possibility, too, though. Not sure. Comment #31 from Ray Strode (developer, points: 16 ) 2008-09-29 15:52 UTC [reply ] I'm guessing this is a packaging bug, because when I'm on a rawhide machine and I do: gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/gnome_settings_daemono/gtk-modules (to undo the gconftool call from my test above) and then do gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/gtk-modules (which presumably does something similar to the g-s-d code) then I get: gnomebreakpad = true gail:atk-bridge = /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility which comes from the schemas and seems right."

Bug in Ubuntu 9.04
Dears I've found a bug on Ubuntu 9.04. It happens that Orca does not speak the itens of any list that are not visible on the screen. So, everytime that one has to scroll down the scroll bar to see the itens of given list, Orca will not speak those itens. It happened on the add/remove programs list, on the list of plugins of Pidgin, on the list of apps on the keybord shortcut preferences and so on.

I think a lt of blind/vision impaired people use Evolution or Thunderbird, but this is a guess, since I don't know for sure, and I'll let them comment. I use a text mode email coient called mutt, however it has a sleepish learning curve, however it is very configurable, and very powerful.

E-mail?
What do you use for E-mail with Ubuntu and Orca? I did try Evolution and it sort of worked in that I can check my e-mail and see the list of messages but can't seem to actually read them. Thanks.

problems with the shut down menu
Hi, Ok, I removed the shut down idem from the top panel and sure enough the menu returned. But here is the problem I now have. In the top panel this menu was fully accessible with Orca. Now that it has moved it is no longer red by Orca. Does anyone know why, and if this is going to be corrected soon?

This is to do with Ubuntu changing the notification/pop-up system used on the desktop, and the new system is not yet accessible. I believe this is being worked on, but when it will get into Ubuntu I don't yet know.

Could you plesae file a bug against the libcanberra source package, so that this issue can be tracked in a bug? Plesae also indicate whether you have orca set up to start automatically, and what speech backend, i.e gnome-speech or speech-dispatcher you are using?

Luckily, getting the menu options back is simply a matter of finding the user switch applet, and removing it from the panel. Things are now set up so that if the user switch applet is not on any of the panels, the menu items will return. I am also working on disabling this applet for accessibility installs, as I think it makes more sense to use menu items as well.

Why missing shutdown and user logout menus in system menu with 9.04 Alpha 5?
Dear List! Some week ago missing shutdown and logout menus my Jaunty system with system menu. The last menu item is About Ubuntu. This is a bug, or new feature request? I known, in top panel possible shutdown or restart the system with user switch applet, but some time Orca does'nt say this icon, only if the blind user pressing the Ctrl+F1 key. Because I like old menus, how can I get back this menus? :-):-) Another think: The shutdown and logout dialog works again my system. See my last comment with http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=535827 When I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete key, Orca says correct the displayed dialog.
