Interesting Karmic problems
Dear list, I tryed Ubuntu Karmic live cd, and I am now not happy. :-(:-( I see some interesting problems, I don't no have any possible useful workaround to solving this problems. :-(:-( I hope anybody have an ydea to solving this problems: 1. My notebook (Toshiba Satelite L300) Orca does'nt talk automaticaly when the boot is finished, this is works correct with prewious Ubuntu versions (Jaunty, Intrepid, Hardy). If I manual launch Orca, Orca talks fine. My desktop computer Orca launch correct automaticaly and talking fine. 2. When I try booting Ubuntu Karmic live cd with accessible profile (screen reader option), gnome-volume-applet is disabled by default, and impossible to launch system/settings/sound preference tool (waiting respond the sound system). I read Arki tutorial with Ubuntu Karmic, and remove .pulse directory and .pulse_cookie file. When logout and login back again, gnome-volume-applet is displayed and possible launch the system/preferences/sound preference tool, but now I see following the next problem: 3. Impossible increase or decrease volume values (the values increased or decreased, but the sound volume is does'nt change). In sound preferences/hardware tab is empty. I don't no why? This is not only one sound card specific problem I think, because my desktop computer and my laptop computer produces same seed results (different soundcards have this two machine). Pulseaudio is running (pgrep pulseaudio shows the process number). I think I still my Jaunty system and very wayting 10.04 Ubuntu version, if not have an useful workaround or bugfix to solwing this problems. I open a bugreport, anybody fell free to confirm this problems or write need tryed tests to fix this problems before with next Ubuntu version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/470248 Thanks everybody, sorry my not happy letter. :-(:-( Attila -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related to accessibility and speech responsiveness
Dear users, When i read Yours several E-mails related to crashes of speech dispatcher while using it with Orca, i was wondering what would cause those behaviour. I tested Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala in live mode for more than one hour and i did not experienced random crashes related to speech while using Espeak with Orca. I tested accessibility of administrative tasks, installation program and i do not know about issues related to those applications. So if somebody of us is having problems related to speech, try to test The Ubuntu Karmic while using it in live mode. Work with The same computer on which You are experiencing random crashes of speech support with Orca. If You are experiencing difficulty after performing installation of ubuntu Karmic to A hard drive, my opinion is, that random crashes are caused by The fact, that Ubuntu is installed on A harddrive. My opinion is, that if this is The case, there is complex software conflicts between algorithms, which are used for allocating swap file and speechdispatcher. May be, that those algorithms are causing this problem. MR Klaus Knopper is also experiencing problems while using speechdispatcher with his Adriane Knoppis, when console applications are used and speechdispatcher is being used with SBL Suseblinux screen reader. Speechdispatcher is crashing, if Adriane Knoppix is installed on A harddrive, but never crashes if Adriane Knoppix is used in live mode and very probably, those crashes will not occur, if Adriane knoppix is being used in live mode started from USB flash disk. Speechdispatcher will never crash in Adriane Knoppix, if user will only use Orca and LXDE related applications. So i think, that this conclusion would help core developers of Speechdispatcher to debug memory allocation related tasks, if it would be possible. MR Knoper really sended me The E-mail, on which he confirmed my conclusion, that consoled applications in Adriane Knoppix, which are used with SBL are not usable with speech dispatcher if Adriane Knoppix has been installed to A hard drive. Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 is very good accessible distribution, ACPI services are very well optimized and motherboard is not having high tempherature. Orca responsiveness is The fastest while using Pulseaudio sound server with Espeak and Orca. I think, that many of us would send MR Yelavich thank's E-mail, because he had to spend many hours of complex programmers work while debugging Pulseaudio sound server to reach The best awailable compatibility and speech responsiveness while using this sound server with Speech-dispatcher and Orca. Mr Yelavich, thank You very, very much for Your intensive and complex programmers work while analysing, debugging and modifiing source code of Pulseaudio sound server, which is written in C programming language. Pulseaudio will be very probably The standart for many Linux distributions, Mandriva One 2009.1 is using it, Opensuse is using it from version 11.0, earlyer versions used ESD sound daemon. And i really think, that Ubuntu is now The best Linux distribution, which is accessible with Orca while Pulseaudio sound server is incorporated. And, what is very, very important, also users of braille displays can be very happy, because Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 is using The latest awailable and stable version of Brltty. I will install Ubuntu Karmic To a Harddrive and if i will find some issues, i will provide valuable and constructive feetback about it, so some issues would be solved by making some update for ubuntu Karmic. So please, do not be afraid and You can safely try Ubuntu Karmic. If You want to use Brltty, Brltty daemon must be started with The root privileges, i tested it in Live CD mode. So i would like to thank all core developers of Ubuntu Karmic, who made their best to support a handicapped computer users. Last remark. There are many various computers, with various models of CPU, with various CPU frequency, with various chipsets, and with various sound carts. Some sound carts were manufactured after year 2002. So those sound carts are using slover chips and also algorithms incorporated in to The sound drivers for controlling those sound devices are not able to provide so fast responsiveness while using those sound carts with Pulseaudio sound server. So please, i would like to kindly please all users, if they would think about those technical problems before providing negative feetback related to speech responsiveness in Ubuntu Karmic. Every developer is A Human being with emotions and try to look to The source code of Pulseaudio sound server. Try to imagine, that every body of us would have to analyse, modifi, recompile and debug this source code ro make reliable support of Pulseaudio sound server. Lets be more emphatical to core developers of Ubuntu, who are really very overloaded because of other programmers activity, not only because of developing accessibility support for Ubuntu
Re: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related to accessibility and speech responsiveness
Janusz, I agree your letter and you are true. Thank you Luke very very hard work. For example when I tryed Alpha and Beta release, my notebook soundcard always producing long latency between the speech parts when Pulseaudio is running. Now I not see this problem. lspcy shows this information my notebook builtin sound card: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03) When my problems is solwed natural way (impossible to change sound volume values etc, see my prewious letter), my first think to Install Karmic. I hope this problems solved with later updates, because Karmic coming out few day ago, and possible still some bugs with possible solwing security updates. I look later the dayly live cd's, and try, try. :-):-) I agree development is not easy and developers have lot of work.

Re: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related toaccessibility and speech responsiveness
Dear syr, Some sound drivers are using different values for volume paramethers, so there will be probably a onlyone solution, somebody very experienced would tell You the name of configuration file and would tell You a command for increasing The volume. But because You provided excellent description of Yours used integrated sound device, core developers who are responsible for those tasks will be very probably prepare update for solving this issue. I also experienced very fast responsiveness while using Orca with Mozilla Firefox included in Karmic. So i wisch You many positive experiences while working with this Ubuntu release. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related toaccessibility and speech responsiveness
I'm very glad to hear about positive experiences so far with Karmic. I installed the x64 version yesterday on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 9400). Orca did work out-of-the-box, which is nice. If blind users absolutely must do a few things on linux, Karmic can do the job. However, I found there to be a delay due to pulseaudio of about 1/2 second, making key and word echo useless. The delay is so bad, I don't see how I could use Karmic with Orca full-time. I installed voxin as well (far nicer than espeak, IMO), and had two additional problems, besides the delay. When using speech-dispatcher, speech would pause every few seconds for about half a second, which is seriously annoying. When using Gnome Speech Services, instead of pausing, it simply stops speaking, so it is very tedious to listen to an entire document. I suspect both problems are related to the delay in pulseaudio. With the virtual machine install, I was able to get Orca working well by uninstalling pulseaudio, as described here: http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuKarmic However, when installed on my laptop, removing pulseaudio caused speech-dispatcher to hang, with 100% CPU utilization. So, for now, I have no suitable Karmic-based Orca solution. Are other people seeing the delay problem? Is it only with the x64 version? Are you using Karmic/Orca as your main machine, or just playing around a bit?

Thank you Januz. Amixer I think is works correct with terminal (now I does'nt look), but in future better to work hardware volume button my multimedia keyboard and my laptop computer (this hardware buttons works with prewious Ubuntu versions). I think my problem produced a pulseaudio bug, now I going boot Karmic live cd to do requested tests.

Hi, I was having the same problems with pulseaudio. The pauses every few wordes were quite interesting. Removing pulse solved sound problems for more than just orca though. I am still using speech-dispatcher with no problems. Did you remember to run spd-conf and set it to use alsa instead of pulse?

Re: Interesting Karmic problems
Very interesting, but I do following test, because now I have sighted assistance (my wife help me). The results is very interesting: 1. When I not using the accessibility profile, hardware volume button is works correct my notebook, the sound volume is changed correct when I move left or right the wolume button. The gnome-volume-applet presented by default, and correct possible launch the system/preferences/sound preference tool without errors. 2. When I not using the accessibility profile, the system/preferences/sound preference tool the hardware tab is not empty. 3. I don't no why, but when after I finish this test and I restart the live cd and choosing accessibility profile, Orca launched automaticaly my notebook and talks fine. So, Orca sometime launched automaticaly my notebook and talks fine, sometime not. Luke or anybody, have an ydea what setting possible the bad with accessibility profile? Why work sound volume change etc with normal boot method and why not work when accessibility profile is selected? Very interesting, I have no ydea.

Re: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related toaccessibility and speech responsiveness
Hi, Storm. Once again, you totally rock! I did in fact forget to change pulse to alsa in speechd.conf (D'oh!). I'll edit the Orca/Karmic wiki page and add this step. Now key echo is working well, and I'm having currently no problems in Karmic with Orca using voxin with speech-dispatcher/alsa. I'm basically a happy camper at the moment. I'm still having trouble getting the volume control to show up in the gnome panel. I delete .pulse and .pulse-cookie, but some process keeps recreating them! Do you also know the solution to this?

Re: Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 Koala positive feetback related toaccessibility and speech responsiveness
Hi, Lol I didn't realize they were respawning. So that's why there is no volume control. I have just been using alsamixer. If you prefer a gui and can see well enough to use it, alsamixergui should do the trick. sudo apt-get install alsamixergui I added a custom application launcher with alsamixergui to the top panel in case anyone sighted using my computer wanted to change the volume. So far it's been a hit.
