Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubiquity
Dear Developers, In Ubuntu Accessibility List, Bill Cox Vinux developer wroted following letter: "When installing with screen reader enabled, ubiquity stops talking about half the time, which is very frustrating for blind users. I've been able to get it to work reliably, with only two edits. First in /usr/bin/ubiquity, change the call from gksu to sudo: toexec = ['gksudo', '--preserve-env'] if desktop: toexec.extend(['--desktop', desktop]) toexec.append('--') Should be just: toexec = ['sudo', '-E'] The second thing is more minor. If you select a large font, and install in a VirtualBox machine, with an 800x600 display, then ubquity hangs when the partitioner screen starts. This is caused by a one-line bug in /usr/lib/ubiquity/ubiquity/frontend/gtk_ui.py. Just comment out line 554, the last line of win_size_req: widget.resize(w, h) should be: #widget.resize(w, h)" I am a blind people, and I absolute confirmed Bill wroted problems. I maked a test fix patch with solving Bill wroted two problem, and add the sudo prefix the ubiquity-2.2.10/desktop/ubiquity-gtkui.desktop.in file. The desktop.in modification is needed. I tested the patch. I Rebuild the entire Ubiquity source package, and install the modifyed package with a custom Ubuntu Lucid live CD. I see following right result: When I installing my modifyed Ubuntu Lucid live CD with Screen Reader accessibility mode, Orca is right working entire installation, not stop talking entire installation procedure. Please use my fix patch if this is possible.
