I am running Ubuntu 9.04 with Orca and brltty.
Everything was running fine until I tried to see if I could get a NetGear WG111 USB Wi-Fi device to work. I got into the Hardware settings and, after the program searched around for a bit, it said it couldn't find a driver. Of course, this screen came up with no speech (since it needed administrative privledges and I guess Orca doesn't work under that circumstance). I had some sighted help there, so I don't quite know the exact error I received. Anyway, I never did get the WG111 USB Wi-Fi device to work, but now, even without the device plugged into the USB port and several reboots later, I am not getting any speech out of Orca. Thankfully, braille is still working fine so I can navigate somewhat. To fix the problem, I got into the Gnome-Alsa settings program. It looked like, somehow, all of my volume settings had been set to 0% and mute had been checked for all of my audio output devices. I fixed this, but I'm still not getting any speech. What could have gone wrong here just trying to install the USB Wi-Fi device? Why did that crash Orca speech and how can I fix this? On a side note, how do I get a USB Wi-Fi device to work with Ubuntu? Do I need to use the diswrapper program and will that work? Thanks for any help or suggestions. --Pete
