Hello I have recently had to reinstall Ubuntu on my laptop, and went with 9.04. Starting to regret it, since I wanted LVM, but the installer doesn't include it, but that's neither here nor there.
My urgent usability problem is: orca is starting when I alt-F2 and type orca, but it says everything at an incomprehensible high speed, as described previously on this list. I have tried the "touch ~/.pulse_a11y_nostart" solution oft-described on these lists, but it had absolutely no effect. I need this laptop for a job in a few hours--are there any other solutions which might be implemented, since the touch option doesn't work? an "ls .pulse*" gets: .pulse_a11y_nostart .pulse-cookie .pulse: 1f9aa7f71fe9e9c03ed0552a4b2b0d12:default-sink 1f9aa7f71fe9e9c03ed0552a4b2b0d12:default-source 1f9aa7f71fe9e9c03ed0552a4b2b0d12:device-volumes.i486-pc-linux-gnu.gdbm 1f9aa7f71fe9e9c03ed0552a4b2b0d12:runtime 1f9aa7f71fe9e9c03ed0552a4b2b0d12:stream-volumes.i486-pc-linux-gnu.gdbm Luke -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
