Re: Orca keeps requesting setup!
Hi Paul This might be due a error writing your settings to the configuration file user-settings.py From a terminal check the owner of .orca directory, user-settings.py file etc Type ls -l ~/.orca If user/group owner of the files is not your user, type following sudo chown `whoami`.`whoami` ~/.orca -R Then restart Orca and configure/save your settings by pressing OK HTH Javier El vie, 08-05-2009 a las 08:26 +0100, Mailing Lists escribió: Hi All, I have just installed Ubuntu 9.4 on my PC. I went through the process of uninstalling Pulse audio because when I first loaded up Orca I couldn't tell what he was saying as speech was so fast it was impossible. After I removed Pulse audio the speed became normal during the Orca setting up phase. I went through setting up keyboard, speech settings etc and then logged out. When I logged back in again, Orca came up and requested that I input my preferred settings once again. I did this and repeated the log out and log back in part but still Orca came back requesting me to once more input my preferred settings. How if any can I just get Orca up and running without this difficulty. Many thanks for any help given. Sincerely, Paul. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

Re: Orca keeps requesting setup!
Dear syr, I Am not sure, if You read my E-mail, which i posted yesterday to The Ubuntu Accessibility mailing list. Did You installed Ubuntu Jaunty by using install choice from The boot screen? So: did You pressed enter after CD stopped whirring, then did YOu pressed F5, did YOu pressed number 3 followed by pressing Enter? And did You pressed down arrow key to set The cursor to The install choice, and did YOu pressed enter? If You installed Ubuntu Jaunty by using install desktop link, The algorithm will not prepare Ubuntu for use with Orca. The only one solution, which i was able to use was to install Ubuntu from The boot screen. By The other words, The algorithm is The same like while installing Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Also Wubi.exe is not able to configure The Orca. And if You can, install Ubuntu by using install choice from The boot screen, but please, do not forget to use F5 and The procedure, which i described. So, when CD stops to whirring, press Enter Then Press F5, type number 3, not number 3 at The numeric keypat. Then press Enter, then press down arrow for once, and press enter again. Be patient, and wait for Orca speech. You can use The choice use entire harddisk to reinstall previously installed Ubuntu. I tested this solution from A dayli live CD build, but i think, that this procedure should work also for The official build. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Ubuntu Server accessibility? is this possible for the Karmic Koala
Hi all I would like to know if Ubuntu server comes with any assistive technology for installing a server in a accessible way. I have read previous post where Luke pointed out that there is text only installer and no screen reader support. However I would like to know if at least Brltty is available? If not, Might be possible to add any A11y support for the 9.10? I can file bugs in Launchpad to work on this. Would be nice to have Speakup/yasr and Brltty for a text installation.

Using this feature will disable the gnome sounds right? Its a dirty workaround!
