But as a braille user I noticed, that orca actually starts on login screen, but only braille output is working. If you do need speech, you may use the following dirty hack: press insert+space to invoke orca parameters dialog. Actually it won't launch, but, at least, you will get speech back temporarily.

Re: Light DM was muted
I don't recall the details of your messages. Was this off of the Live CD or after a fresh install? There's a problem where Ubuntu and other distros come up muted on certain systems. I had this problem myself, but I don't seem to have it on the just released Precise. If you've unmuted your system, it should stay unmuted. If it was a running system, can you think of anything you did or anything you installed which might have muted your system? Do you know where the media keys are on your system? If you ever think your system is muted, you can use these keys to unmute your system. This is what I used to do when I was installing ubuntu, but it doesn't look like I need to do that anymore.

Re: Light DM was muted
Hi, On the live cd for 12.04, nothing was muted, and I proceeded with the install. After installing, I started, using the new hard drive system. Light Dm was not muted on this first startup. I did some setup, such as restoring some backed-up files, plugged in some preferences, etc. I did a proper shutdown. When next I started, Light Dm was muted. Once I logged in, the system came up talking. When the login manager came up muted, I tried my media keys, and found that they did not work. I had someone look, and he found that the sound was muted on the login manager. He corrected this with the track pad. I explored the login screen, using flat review, and cannot get to the volume controls for this. The media keys still do not work but they do once I'm logged in. BTW, the machine is an Asus 1015 PE (netbook) Best Regards, Dave On 04/27/2012 11:32 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: I don't recall the details of your messages.
