Some interesting errors when I try setting accessibility settings in terminal both LightDm and Gdm in Precise
Hy, I doed now with Ubuntu 12.04 installation, without manual partitioning. I try look possible setting LightDm related a11y settings in terminal. I try run sudo -u lightdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true command, but this command don't working. Try similar command after I installed Gdm package, I simple run old sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true command. Look following error messages: root@hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# sudo -u lightdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true ** WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=120a3815ba77631ec49d9a9b000e --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: No protocol specified\nNo protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n ** WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=120a3815ba77631ec49d9a9b000e --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: No protocol specified\nNo protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n root@hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# root@hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true GConf-WARNING **: Failed to load source xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system: Failed: Could not make directory `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system': Permission denied Error setting value: Can't overwrite existing read-only value: Value for `/desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility' set in a read-only source at the front of your configuration path root@hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# sudo -u gdm gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true ** WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=120a3815ba77631ec49d9a9b000e --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: No protocol specified\nNo protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n ** WARNING **: Command line `dbus-launch --autolaunch=120a3815ba77631ec49d9a9b000e --binary-syntax --close-stderr' exited with non-zero exit status 1: No protocol specified\nNo protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n root@hammera-Satellite-L300:/home/hammera# This is surprise, because I think the casper-a11y-helper script doing similar command for LightDm login manager, if the blindness profile is selected (access=v3 commandline parameter). Because have now this errors, during installation this commands runs, but not setting proper? How can possible setting in LightDm the accessible login feature? Unity Greeter already supports it for screen reader function?

Installing Ubuntu via Wubi and getting Orca up and running automatically
Hello all. First post to this list after being on here for a few days. I have joined as I want to get back into the world of Ubuntu. I am a former computer studies student, obtained a certificate as a result, so should be smart enough smiles. Because I don't wish to use Ubuntu full time, I would rather install it in some safe environment, like via Wubi, the Ubuntu installer program for Windows. Now, I sort of have this to work, by choosing Braille in the accessibility part of the installer. However, when I reboot, I am asked to select a Braille display connection, like USB. Since I do not have one, do I choose exit and if so will Orca still come up automatically, both before and after log in? I realize there is Vinux, but there is no real safe way to install, except in a virtual environment. This is good, however it is sometimes nice to try things on a physical set up, due to native hardware support, improved performance, etc. Thank you in advance for any enquiries. It will be greatly appreciated. -- Christopher H -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Installing Ubuntu via Wubi and getting Orca up and running automatically
hello, I am not completely certain about the wubi thing as I don't have Windows, but normally when installing 11.10 you boot the CD or USB image, wait for the sound of the drums, this means the ubiquity installer is started, then press ctrl+s to start orca, from there you can alt-tab back to the ubiquity window and proceed with the install or go to a live desktop.

Update on Ubuntu 11.10
Hello all. Well, I tried what I was going to do, but it didn't work as planned. I installed it via Wubi, selecting Braille as the accessibility option. Due to bugs in 11.10 I didn't get speech at the log in screen, and Orca didn't come up automatically after log in. This however worked with 11.04. So will be sticking to that until 12.04 comes out officially. Thanks for all your help. -- Christopher H -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
