It's probably already known to you, but there is a list of orca-related 
issues.

Re: Screen Reader's Speech Rate

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

I am using the same version of orca.

This problem may have something to do with ubuntu, but I can't say that. 
Other users on the list may have some explanation.

Hello and thank you for replying so quickly.

It's version 3.34.0.

I'm just starting, so wouldn't even dare to approach Arch for the time being. 
Maybe one day!

Re: Screen Reader's Speech Rate

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.

I tried to reproduce the problem in my environment, but the problem did 
not happen here.


It is quite true that my environment is not the same because I am not 
using ubuntu but arch linux.


Could you tell which version of orca is installed? The orca key + h 
shows this information.


Thanks.

Greetings everyone,

First I'd like to apologise if this is not the right place to ask for help. I'm 
relatively new, slowly getting started with both Linux and Orca. Now, here's 
the thing:

I've installed Ubuntu 19.10 in a virtual machine, and I'm having a problem when 
trying to adjust Orca's preferences, more precisely the speech rate. As soon as 
I press either Apply or OK, the speed goes back to the default, and the 
Preferences dialogue doesn't close. When I press escape, everything freezes for 
a few seconds. All the other changes seem to be saved, except the speed. Am I 
missing something here? Should I do things differently? I'll be grateful for 
any help. I've just tried a live session on a real computer this morning,and 
encountered exactly the same behaviour.

Many thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Vlad.

Re: orca and firefox

Hi Lucas.
In my opinion 3.16 is better but I am not sure if it is possible to

A while back I posted a message in the linux-accessivel list with 
instructions on how to build orca from git.

Just to make sure that I got the best that is available, could you

I am also running orca with speech dispatcher + voxin and the

Re: orca and firefox

Hi.
Version 0.8.3 is the current version.

I suspect that this problem is related to voxin, although I can not confirm.
Can you try to use espeak instead voxin as a test?

Orca stoped talking to me twice in a period of less than a hour and 
just returned when I killed speech dispatcher and restarted everything.


I assume that this is speech dispatcher's fault, as I had the same 
problem with chromevox when running it with speech dispatcher.

Re: network card problem

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
If memory serves me, I had a similar problem when I used Ubuntu 12.10.

Not sure, but I think the problem was caused by lack of installation of 
header files from the new kernel, which prevented the compilation of 
modules related to this card.


Look for a package named linux-kernel-headers, linux-headers  or 
something of that sort and see if it is installed. I am not sure about 
the correct name.
If it is installed, check if the installed version is compatible with 
the version of the kernel.


Hope that helps.
Thanks.

Over the weekend I did an update on an older dell laptop running 12.04.
It has been doing fine with that os until now.  After the update when I
rebooted it is no longer loading the modules for the BCM4401-B0 ethernet
card whic means that of course that computer no longer has access to any

Can anyone think of any reason this may have happened and if there is a

Re: New to ubuntu - some problems/questions

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi Daniel,
I'll try to answer some questions, but first I've some questions.
What version of ubuntu are you running?
Are you running unity 2d or unity 3d?

See my answers below your questions.





1. How do I see the list of all my applications? I press the windows key
and then attempt to arrow around, but this does not work. I read that
this is the method to view the entire application list with unity...
So how to do this with orca?


The win key or the alt+f1 is used to see the list of the prefered 
applications or the running applications.

I never found how to se all applications using unity 2d.


Also, on a bit of a side note, what is a better choice from an
accessibility point of view, gnome-shell or unity? Is there some reason
why unity is the default on ubuntu?


Personally I prefer gnome-shell, but canonical decided to adopt unity as 
the default.



2. In Some applications are not working quite right. In Libreoffice calc
when I use the arrow keys to navigate the spread sheet I do not get any
spoken feedback from orca.
Also in both writer and calc (possibly other apps, but that's all I've
tested so far) I can not access the menu bar by using alt or alt+f.
Is there a solution to this one?

Did you try the f10 key to access the menu bar?


3. I've just installed emacspeak from source on ubuntu, using
espeak. When I run emacspeak with espeak I experience regular crashes on
average one every few minutes.
Obviously this is quite annoying, so I was hoping there might be a fix
around.
I'm also experiencing almost identical problem on debian, but my best
solution so far is to revert back to alsa. Is this also the best
solution for ubuntu?
I can not say about this topic, but I think that it is not so easy 
revert to alsa in ubuntu.



I'm presuming this will also be an issue when I get around to installing
speakup, as it was on debian also.

4. My final problem: I'm attempting to build and install speakup as
kernel modules.
First I tried installing module-assistant and doing the following as
root:
m-a prepare
m-a a-i speakup

The build process failed though. Is my best option for now to build the
modules from source out of git?


you do not need build speakup in ubuntu because there is  a package.
sudo apt-get install speakup espeakup

This will generate some errors but you can ignore them.

The problem is that you can not use speakup and the gui environment 
using the same login.
What I do in general is to login in the console as root and su - my real 
login.



If anyone can help with any of this I'd grately appreciate it.
I hope this can help in some way.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

Hi Alan,
I managed to install 12.10 beta 1 in virtualbox 4.2  with sighted
assistance.
After installation, I managed to configure, with sighted assistance,
the sound so that  orca is speaking.
The problem is that I have no sound in the login. No orca, no drums.
After I type the password and press the enter key, orca talks normally.

 it is possible to get to the pulse audio dialog and change the

 provide the exact key sequence to do so. I didn't tag that bug as
 an a11y bug because it is an audio totally broken for everyone
 bug rather than orca specific issue even though it does mean that
 Quantal is basically untestable in virtualbox for blind users. It
 does boot OK when testing on real hardware and you get the drums
 and ctrl+s starts orca as normal. Ubiquity has changed a bit but I
 can get all the way through it without cheating and turning my

Hi.
To solve the problem with the keyboard short keys, remove the folder

In terminal execute the following command:
rm -rf .gconf/apps/metacity

What kind of problem do you have with speakup?
I installed in my machine using the following command:
sudo apt-get install speakup espeakup

The problem in my installation is that I am logged in orca and in the
console with the same login, speakup does not work.

 My name is Doug Smith and I am using ubuntu 12.04.  I find the

 which I haven't been able to find out anything.
 
 1. Why do the keyboard shortcuts come undone This seems to happen
 at random intervals.  I really hate it and I hope you can give me
 a permanent fix for it.  For example, when you set the alt-tab key
 to change between applications, and the alt-f4 key to close the
 window and cancel the session, it seems to work, and, it will work
 for one or more sessions, but then all this comes undone and I have
 to set it all up again with the system settings.
 
 2. Why will speakup not build on ubuntu 12.04? This is strange, as
 I have had it working on other distributions.
 
 Any help, especially for the losing of the shortcuts will be 
 appreciated.  This is more important than getting speakup to build,
 even though, I would like to see both fixed if possible.
 
 
 Thanks.

Re: how to get more applications in the launchbar?

Hi.
You can try the following:

1. Launch the application that you want get in launchbar.
2. Go to the launchbar pressing alt+f1.
3. Press the down arro until you find the application launched in the
step 1.
4. Press right arrow at least two times. Two times is important, one
time doesn't work and I don't know why.
5. Press down arrow until you hear something like lock to launcher.
6. Press the enter key.

- From now one the application will be present in the lanchbar even if
the application is not active.

You can use similar  procedure to remove an application from the
launchbar.

Re: Keybindings completely gone

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi Tony.
I had a similar problem but it was solved removing the folloing folder:
.gconf/apps/metacity

It is present in your home directory.

I think that you need reboot the system after remove the folder.

Probably a good idea is to do a backup of the folder before the remove.

This doesn't happen everytime.

Unfortunately the workaround is little difficult and not elegant.
I doed following commands in a live system to verify the package build,
you use own risk your installed system:

2. sudo apt-get build-dep python-pyatspi2.
3. cd /usr/src
4. sudo apt-get source python-pyatspi2
5. sudo cd the pyatspi related directory.
6. sudo debuild
7. sudo cd debian/tmp
8. sudo cp -r usr /
9. Verify orca -v command result. If not have pyatspi related traceback,
all works right again.

Of course, the cp related command you possible give other place. For
example if you mounted your root partition, you need replace the / path
with correct mount point if you not working your installed system.
If this is the case and you would like verify possible importing the
pyatspi related modules, you need chrooting your installed system, and
run orca -v command or run simple python code after you launched python:
import pyatspi
If you not get traceback error messages, all works right.

If not have you a braille display and not possible to work in console
your installed system, need sighted assistance all task, except you not
using with speakup.

Summary, I don't no why, but the buggy python-pyatspi2 package not
installed python bindings with correct
usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyatspi folder.

Re: ubuntu 12.04 and alt+tab

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi Guy,
Please forgive my dumb question, but how can I switch windows using the 
launcher?

Thanks.

Actually, I just updated my system 20 minutes ago, and I still can't use
alt+tab or alt+f4 in Unity 2d. The only way I can switch windows is to
use the launcher. One thing I did notice though, is that the quick menus
are now working. This is super cool for me, since I use my jump drive
quite a bit, and can now easily eject it. Should these keys be working?
Are the bindings still alt+tab and alt+f4? Any suggestions would be
appreciated, and looking forward to 12.04 release.

Thanks,

You should find that the top item in the menu is edit connections

Re: Which orca branch

In my opinion you should try master.
You'll need python-gobject 3.0.2 or above, but the version that is 
installed is 3.0.0.

I found version 3.0.3 in the following repository:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3/ubuntu oneiric main

I don't remember the command used to add the repository but I can try to

Re: ubuntu 11.10 orca and speakup do not work together

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi,
Seems that the problem happens if you use the same login to access 
speakup and the GUI interface.
If you use a  login in speakup different than the login  used in the 
graphical environment, you can use orca and speakup at the same time.

Subject says it all, I find that I cannot get orca and speakup to run at the

example now, I can hear speakup. I can confirm that orca is running because I 
see the start up splash thing when orca executes, I just don't hear anything.

It seems like part of my problem has to do with running pulseaudio in system 
mode. I downloaded the pulsesystem and pulseuser scripts, made by the vinux 
team, and executed the pulsesystem script in /etc/local/bin after changing its 
permissions to 755. I restarted the machine, and same result, orca mute, 
speakup running.

It seems that I am getting this bug:

Re: Trying to get started

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
I think that ubuntu 11.04 is not the better choice.
First there is the problem related to the CapsLock ke. Yes, it is a bug.
Ubuntu 11.04 uses unity as the default interface and I think that there
are problems regarding accessibility.

In myopinion you should try ubuntu 10.10 or try vinux,
http://vinuxproject.org/.


On 08/03/2011 11:10 AM, Antony Stone wrote:
 Hi.
 
 I'm trying to get a machine set up with a recent version of Orca for a blind 
 friend.  We've been advised that Ubuntu is currently the best distribution to 
 choose for getting an up-to-date version (ie: with as many features, and 
 working as well as possible).
 
 1. First question - is this correct, or should we be doing something else to 
 get the most functional version of Orca possible?
 
 We're using a Braille display (ie: we prefer not to use speech), which is 
 supported by BRLTTY (it's a Papenmeier Compact 40-cell display).
 
 Things seem to be difficult to get going in a reliable way, though:
 
 I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 as standard (ie: I did not select a Braille 
 display or any other accessible features to do the actual installation - I am 
 sighted).
 
 After installing, I logged in under my friend's username, and selected 
 Accessibility Features on Login, made sure Orca was selected, and told Orca 
 we 
 wanted Braille.
 
 I also selected password confirmations as normal dialogue boxes, so that 
 these should work on the Braille display.
 
 
 The first problem we encounter is how to log in.  We start the machine, I can 
 see the GRUB menu (my friend can't, so blind dual-boot still appears to be 
 not 
 an option), the machine starts up X, and a login dialogue box appears.
 
 The Braille display says Screen not in text mode - the login prompt is not 
 shown.
 
 2. Second question - how do we get the login prompt shown on the Braille 
 display so that my friend can log in quietly?
 
 As a workaround I recorded an audio clip of Please enter username, return; 
 password, return and set this as the System ready sound (I spent some time 
 setting it up as the login sound, only to find that this is played *after* 
 the user logs in, not at the prompt telling them to log in...).
 
 So, my friend now knows when to enter her username and password, and can log 
 in.
 
 Orca starts up, with speech, and announces that it is running and the 
 Preferences button is active.
 
 Nothing appears on the Braille display (except Screen not in text mode from 
 when X started while BRLTTY was already running).
 
 I have to restart BRLTTY, and then also restart Orca, for the Braille display 
 to become functional.
 
 3. Third question - what have we misconfigured here, which stops Orca from 
 showing Braille as soon as it starts up?  (We can hear the standard BRLTTY 
 startup bleep, and we see Screen not in text mode, so we know BRLTTY is 
 running and driving the Braille display correctly).
 
 Having restarted things for my friend, she can now start navigating the 
 menus, 
 and I've been helping her by reading the Orca / Gnome documentation at 
 http://library.gnome.org/users/gnome-access-guide/2.32/gnome-access-guide.html
 
 This tells us we can use Alt-F1 to get to the Applications menu; this works.
 
 It doesn't appear to tell us how to get to the Status bar menu which I can 
 see in the top right corner of the screen - the one with icons for wireless 
 networking, volume control, and particularly important, the shutdown / logout 
 / restart menu button (the one which to a sighted user looks like a power 
 switch icon).
 
 4. Fourth question - is this the correct documentation we should be using for 
 the keyboard navigation keys, and how do we get to the logout / shutdown menu 
 without the mouse working?
 
 Oh, yes, while I'm thinking about the mouse, the computer we're using has a 
 touchpad, which of course does all sorts of undesirable things when randomly 
 touched by a blind person typing.  Since I'm a fairly advanced Linux user, I 
 set up sudoers to allow my friend's user ID to run rmmod without a password, 
 and then put sudo rmmod psmouse into the list of applications to run at 
 login time for her username - however this seems rather advanced for an 
 average blind user; is there some more standard way of saying disable the 
 touchpad when Iog in?
 
 Getting back to Orca, I've selected the laptop keyboard layout, therefore 
 CapsLock is the Orca Modifier key.  CapsLock-S disables or enables speech, as 
 expected.  It also leaves CapsLock turned on after pressing it (or off if it 
 was on beforehand) - in other words, CapsLock is still acting as the standard 
 toggle, it isn't being fully captured by Orca, even though on an older 
 version 
 of Orca (whatever came with Debian Lenny, I can't recall the version number) 
 the CapsLock key worked correctly as an Orca Modifier, and did not leave 
 CapsLock turned on after you had used some Orca function.
 
 5. Fifth question - is this a known bug, or something we've misconfigured? 

Re: Trying to get started

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
If you install ubuntu 11.04 with the accessibility profile enabled, the
classic gnome interface will be configured as the default. To enable the
accessibility profile you need to press the f5 key in some part of the
boot. I don't remember exactly in which part, but I think that is after
choose the language.

Actually  I am using ubuntu 10.10 with orca from git repository. One
reason to not use 11.04 is the problem of the CapsLock key.
It is very simple to install orca from the git repository.

 Thanks - does 10.10 have a similarly up-to-date version of Orca (which we

 versions are distinctly lacking in working features)?

Re: Trying to get started

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi.
One thing that you can do to avoid the CapsLock bug is to use an
external usb keypad. It is not very expensive and works quite well.

You're correct. I installed using orca presente in the CD and after the
installation I built orca from source downloaded directly from the
repository.

Regarding the documentation, I think that you weren't in the  ideal
place because the interface configured was the unity.
Since you will install ubuntu 10.10 or a similar, I think the link that
you have is a good place.
Forgive my bad english!

 some serious speed improvements. I remember seeing that bookmarks
 weren't accessible in 3.6 either, but so far I've honestly not come
 across it. The bookmarks menu, sidebar, and organize dialogs all work
 fine for me. Note that there was a small, approx 700k, update to 3.6.2

 it should be?
 That being said, for Firefox 3.5 you can download a Mozilla binary for

 They don't have compiled binaries for 64-bit though and I have no idea
 why. If you're using 64-bit Linux you'll have to compile it yourself or

Hi,
Today I did install jaunty in my machine and I found a similar problem.
It was not possible to save orca settings in my account.

I found in my home directory a .orca directory owned by root.
I removed the .orca directory and after this I could save the settings.
code:
sudo rm -rf ~/.orca

Hope this helps.
 


Ouch, looks like I either missed something, or made a typo in my code. I'll go 
and fix that right now.

[José Vilmar Estácio de Souza]

Hi all,
I mannaged to install jaunty and viavoice in my machine.
My problem is that I can not play for example music while viavoice is 
active.

Am I doing something wrong?
Is it possible to find a workaround?

Thanks.
