Dear users and developers,
Thank's to works of developers and advanced users throught out The
world, The unity interface is much more accessible, than i have
thinked before i have tried todays Ubuntu 11.10 daily build. By
pressing ALT+F1, user can hear The names of buttons representing
installed applications, running applications with administration
privileges is also supported ammazingly and Orca can be used with
those applications. Unfortunately, i AM not able to locate The Update
manager and run application dialog window.
So please, will be Ubuntu updater included or this tool will not be
awailable and users will have to perform Ubuntu updates by using
apt-get dist upgrade?
There is Ubuntu One, Ubuntu software center, but i can not locate
Synaptics package manager.
But Unity is working and attention.
Orca is able to cooperate with included version of Mozilla Firefox,
but now, user must use The Orca configuration for Firefox and user
must check The button grab focus on objects when navigating. This
button is awailable in The Firefox specific Orca settings in The
firefox TAB.
So for now, my biggest issue is, that i can not activate The run
application dialog box and i can not locate The terminal atleast
inside The list of installed applications.
The name of module is very probably Application launcher, which is
displaing The applications list after pressing ALT+F1.
My last question for all Orca users is.
Do You think, that it is sad, that Orca is not supporting The live
regions announcement mechanishm presented in The older Orca releases?
in Orca 2.32.0? So users could hear The messages of ARIA live regions
not only when Orca automatically have detected those messages, but
user could hear one of The checked ARIA live regions messages by
pressing ORCA+F2, F3. So Orca +F2 have announced The message presented
by The second ARIA live region, ORCA+F3 have announced The previously
spoken message from The thirt ARIa live region, ETC.
Now, ORCA is able to automatically speak The ARIA live region, but
user can not repeat The previously spoken messages, which have been
assigned to one of The ARIA live regions.
According to my opinion, it is sad, because ARIA live regions are very
often used even in The modern chat related WEB sites, some WEB pages
are using ARIA live regions for displaiing The ADS, state television
WEB pages can use those regions for displaiing tips for one of The
important news, ETC.
But Orca is very stable, Pulseaudio is not causing issues, at-spi is
working excellently. So i think, that everybody of us can
lookingforward to official, stable Ubuntu release. I think, that there
is time to release RC version of Ubuntu 11.10. I think, that this will
be done in The end of next week.
BUt it is only my personal analysis, it will depend on Canonical LTD.
