Re: pidgin-skype and Orca
How do I enable keyboard shortcuts? I could not find such an adjustment in Skype and Pidging. Right now I manage to see my contacts in Pidgin and I can make calls. But when I receive a call I cannot accept the call even by pressing enter on the accept button. My sighted assistant can click with the mouse on it and that works.

Re: Skype 2.2.35-0Oneiric2 version always crash my system
Hi, the crash you report is caused by the Qt accessibility bridge. Qt 4.7 will have issues with accessibility since it was too late to change some things there, so expect better results with Qt 4.8. What surprises me though is that you get an assert. I did not expect that the packaged bridge would have the asserts active. It may be worthwhile to replace the asserts by warnings since this shows a defect in the way skype or some widget exposes the accessibility information, but we can't hope to get that fixed in skype any time soon I guess.

I experience very positive results with new QT Accessibility Bridge related with Skype
Hy, I sending this letter both this list and Orca list. I looked how works new QT accessibility bridge for example with Skype, and I experienced very positive results and good progress, thank you everybody hard work with working QT accessibility. I using Orca Screen reader, and don't have sighted assistance when I tested Skype with the new QT accessibility bridge, so if I determining wrong a Skype dialog control or test result, excuse me everybody. First, I installed with Canonical Oneiric partner repository awailable Skype package (2.2.0-35-0-Oneiric1) my Oneiric testing system. Because this version unfortunately now crashed when I try log in, I installed the Natty partner repository awailable Skype package version. Unfortunately, when I try reporting the Oneiric version produced crash (core is created), Apport says this package is not original package. Look what happened if I start the Natty awailable Skype version. First, presenting the login screen, with I see a combo box, an edit box, a checkbox, an unlabelled button and a sign in button, Orca wonderful read every control label with login dialog. The combobox control real possible writing my Skype username, Backspace delete echoing now yet not working, but this is now not matter. After I logged in succesfuly, I see my contacts I think with a table when I tabbed the contacts area. Orca default table reading preference (row reading) doesn't spokening right yet the actual highligted contact name, so I turn table reading with actual cell. After this, Orca wonderful spokening highlighted contact and presenting braille the highlighted contacts related informations. Every selected contact related task possible choose if I activating context menue with general method. I experienced a very interesting problem when I try make a call with a selected contact: First, I verify Orca where am I command what the selected contact with I would like call. Because Orca tells me the contact is correct, I choosed the context menue with start call menu item. I don't no why, but Skype I think want call an other contact, or Orca spokening different contact name with Skype want calling, I am not full sure this result without sighted assistance. I using only Up or Down arrow keys when selected a want calling contact. Temporary workaround I possible call wanted contact if I press my contact name beginning letter, and after this I choosed the start cal menu item with the context menue. If anybody want customizing Skype related preferences, this is possible if tabbing the Main Menu button, and activating the SPACE key. In Skype the general F10 main menu opening key command doesn't working. In main menu need choosing Options menu item. In options dialog the preference sections possible accessible if anybody using UP or DOWN arrow keys. Have some combo boxes the options dialog with Orca not possible provide accessibility informations yet. I possible full customize my important Skype settings, possible doing a test call to verify my microphone to work, etc. Now, entire Skype window Orca flat review commands doesn't provide informations, possible this problem is will be not happening with other QT toolkit based applications. If anybody want customizing with Orca related preferences for Skype with Orca application-settings preference dialog, this is possible, but Orca will create a None.py file in the .local/share/orca/app-settings directory. This is happening I think because Skype doesn't provide appname related information for Orca. . So, my experiences is very positive. I newer see for Skype for Linux UI interface, and very wayt this time when possible using Skype only with Orca without extra plugins for example with Pidgin. If this type problems possible fixing with next LTS release, we don't need for example with Skype4pidgin plugin to access Skype contacts and making Skype calls.

When I choose "accept", the call does not get answered. In an exchange of Skype text messages, I can see my messages in the conversation window, but not those from the other party. Is there something I haven't set up right? This arrangement works in all Ubuntu versions up to and including Maverick. I cannot access Skype without this protocol plugin, since Orca screen reader does not work with QT4 objects.

Trouble with Pidgin-skype plugin in Natty
Hi, all! I recently upgraded to Natty and installed Skype, Pidgin, and the subject plugin, all from the official repositories. I am able to make Skype calls and, sometimes, be heard. When my recipient picks up, I also get a dialogue asking me to accept or reject, as if the call were in-coming. When someone tries calling me, I get the ring and in-coming call dialogue. When I choose "accept", the call does not get answered. In an exchange of Skype text messages, I can see my messages in the conversation window, but not those from the other party. Is there something I haven't set up right? This arrangement works in all Ubuntu versions up to and including Maverick.

Re: is there a good alternitive to skype
Ekiga seems to be really good and comes with Ubuntu. Just register a free account at ekiga.net and you're good to go. You'll find Ekiga in the GNOME menu under Internet/Ekiga Softphone.

is there a good alternitive to skype
Hi, I know about the issues with skype, so I was wondering if there is any free alternative for ubuntu that works well with orca. I know there are a few that you can pay to use, but I am going to set a computer up for someone in another country. So I was looking for something like skype that could be used. Thanks Mike. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Sortof, yes:

It is somewhat commplicated to setup and you will need some sighted
help to get started. The chat part of skype should work pretty well
wiht this. The docs mention some support for managing calls as well,
but I have not yet had a chance to test it myself.
Best regards, Lukas

gnome, skype, and orca
Hi, Will Skype ever work with gnome and orca? Or is there an alternative that emulates basic skype features using your skype account that works with Orca?

This is likely to change in the future however, but there is no timeframe as to when this will happen. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHpP9tjVefwtBjIM4RAv5qAJ95dhezffnb9jpjmJgTveP0SMUFwACeLHr4 /kF+yCMSjWTI887nMEs4Nxw= =0l41 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Hello, Thank you for answering me, i will see, what you suggested. I have one more question, is there any software, which supports skype protocol, and is usable with Orca? I just want to have calls, don't want to chating, and have file transfers.
