Hey there Jude and thanks for the tip. That's actually what I did that
caused the whole loop I think. The orca window was getting in the way,
so I went into preferences, and unchecked the box. All was good for the
rest of the session until I shutdown for the night. When I powered up
eight hours later, and every other time I started up my laptop, I got
welcome to orca setup., as if orca is trying to say, you don't want
to show my window, screw you. I would love to go back in and re-check
it, but I can't get past the orca setup 20 questions. I did notice that
Orca 3.2 was released yesterday, so maybe I'll try to update and see if
I can break the setup barrior. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and good job to everyone,
Guy

Uncheck the box that says show orca window and you should be good to go
along with all other preferences you set. The orca window really is
properly the orca setup dialog.

OK, now the system that was running so beautifully after the upgrade is
now in a setup loop. Every time I boot up, after doing nothing but
shutting it down after writing this early morning's E-mail, I press
alt+f2, type orca and press enter, I get Welcome to orca setup. Then I
have to play 20 questions all over again. Any ideas? What happened
between shutting the system down, and restarting eight hours later? Any
ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Guy

I just finished installing Oneiric on my laptop as an upgrade from a
fresh Natty. I am happy to report that all is working with Orca and
other applications. I'm observing the same as previously reported,
pressing alt+f1 yields nothing, and the alt+f2 box (i.e. dash) also is
not accessible. This could be largely due to the bug that currently
has a fix committed though, so I am looking forward to that fix being
released, for hopeful launcher accessibility. I would also love to
test Alejandro's proposed PPA for dash and quicklist accessibility.
This brings me to my next question. How do I narrow down what is
missing from my other desktop system and preventing accessibility?
For example, how do I know if accessibility modules are loaded, and
proper key is set to correct value? I installed all updates on that
system as well, and still hear nothing read in any application,
including Orca's own preferences dialogue. Do I just need to reformat
and fresh install with live CD, since it and my laptop are working
beautifully? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and off to bed,
Guy
P.S. This E-mail was written concerning Unity 3d. I have not tried
Unity 2d on Laptop yet.
