Hi List! I burned from the Karmic Alpha 6 downloaded on 19-September. On the first two installation attempts, the AT-SPI Wrapper and Espeak applications closed unexpectedly. On the 3rd attempt, only the AT-SPI Wrapper app closed. I finally got the installation completed. On post-install restart, I found that Espeak, controlled by Speech Dispatcher, is very responsive and that the speech does not stop at seemingly-random times, in the way it does when controlled by Gnome Speech Services under Jaunty. However, there have ben occasions when Espeak crashed, requiring a restart of Speech Dispatcher and Orca to restore speech. I have since installed Flite and find the speech system well-behaved. After getting a system set up, I proceeded to set preferences, the first of these being volume and sound-effects. I notice that there is no volume control applet on the Gnome panels or desktop. I can set the master volume with alsamixer, but the settings do not persist across login sessions. When I tried opening the sound applet under "system->preferences->sound", I hear a "waiting for sound system to respond" notice, and the applet hangs, with "cancel" as my only option. Finally, any attempt to play an audio file using Totem Movie Player results in a "internal data flow error" message from the application.
I find an error related to the software package database when trying to install the Adobe Flash player app. Something like "Trying to install flash plugin but I cannot find a source" report from Apt-get. I don't think this one is related to the errors above, but would like to find a solution. Thanks for any suggestions! --Dave Hunt -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
