Hi,
Strangely, the items in the network menu in Unity-2D are brailled but
not spoken.
They are spoken if Unity-3D is being used.
You should find that the top item in the menu is edit connections
which is I think what you want.

Hi,
Simply boot the CD, wait for the disc activity to stop (will take a few
minutes) then press control + s to start Orca.
The Orca main window will have focus. Alt+tab once and you will be on a
screen that allows you to either run the live session or begin an install.

Well I don't think it's anything to worry about for now from a blind

If, and it still appears to be an if, it lands in 12.04 it will be an

Piecing together what I read from a couple of emails on this subject

I tried the following commands to revert to classic gnome-panel

Your username will be something else. The jconti ppa has gnome panel

YMMV,

Hey all,
Using Oneiric with all the latest updates and the extra a11y PPA...
I've suddenly found that the alt+tab and alt+F4 keystrokes aren't working.
I can still activate menus with alt+F etc.
It's not a hardware thing because if I reboot into Windows I can alt+tab
and alt+F4 just fine.

Hi Dave,
I'm guessing you didn't install using the blindness profile?
If you don't then you are missing a file that is needed in order to
allow Orca to read admin apps.
It is called a11y-sudo and needs to be in the directory /etc/sudoers.d
To create it;
1. open gnome-terminal

Hi Tara,
Yes I know about how Macs automatically start speech if you don't
interact with the system. Basically they assume you can't see the

It would be great if Ubuntu could be like this or we could at least have
a system where speech
