Re: What is the best way to launch Orca in Ubuntu 13.04 or later from the LiveDVD? Thanks!

[Keith Hinton]

Pete:
I'm not sure if you read my message or not.
My hardware at this time is not supported in Vinux.
It is only supported in upstream Ubuntu as of 13.04 or later releases.
What I was asking was how to get Orca up and going with Ubuntu's Live system.
When I last used Ubuntu,  back in the Gnome2.x days you would:
boot the media.
Press f5.
Hit 3 for screen reader.
Press enter.
So again my question is what is the best way to get Orca up and going
especially if using the Unity environment?
Unity is completely different, from any of the Gnome2.x days.
And I thought I'd try Ubuntu 13.04, since my MacBookPro is supported.
But 12.04 is not listed, in fact no LTS  release supports what I'm
trying to run Ubuntu on.
I use a MacBook Pro model 8,1.
For more details, please see this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
Scan down the page. You'll see when you enter 8,1 that no LTS release
supports the hardware thus why I can't use Vinux4. And thus my
question about how to get Orca up and going with Ubuntu desktop.

  Hi,


  I'm a partially sighted person and  i use cpmpiz fusion. But this system 
don't work very well with Orca.


  I installed the packages : 
  - compizconfig-setting-manger

  - compiz-fusion

  - gnome-session-fallback

  My configuration :

  Ubntu 12.04 + gnome session fallback + compiz enhanced Zoom (super+button4 
Zoom in / super+button5 Zoom out)


  Your are two choices :

  - for low vision with orca + compiz (work partially)

  - for blind : gnome-session + no effect  (without compiz)

Hi,
I use Ubuntu 12.04 Unity 2D with Orca 3.4.2. For a friend with low vision a 
question: can he use a magnify app in Ubuntu? The settings he could do in 
Universal Access are far from enough. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm a partially sighted person and  i use cpmpiz fusion. But this system
don't work very well with Orca.

I installed the packages :
- compizconfig-setting-manger
- compiz-fusion
- gnome-session-fallback

My configuration :
Ubntu 12.04 + gnome session fallback + compiz enhanced Zoom (super+button4
Zoom in / super+button5 Zoom out)

Your are two choices :
- for low vision with orca + compiz (work partially)
- for blind : gnome-session + no effect  (without compiz)

magnify in Ubuntu 12.04

[Milton]

Hi,
I use Ubuntu 12.04 Unity 2D with Orca 3.4.2. For a friend with low 
vision a question: can he use a magnify app in Ubuntu? The settings he 
could do in Universal Access are far from enough. Thanks.
