Re: arch-installer accessibility
On the keypad, press the star key. On the top row far right press the key and it will say parked press again and it says unparked. One key to the left of that key is where you turn on highlight tracking. Default is cursoring on so press once and you should get highlight tracking. -- Jude "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. Please use in that order."

Re: arch-installer accessibility
Hi, where can I get list of speakup hotkeys? I am unable to get light tracking mode. Thanks a lot, Pavel Dne 01. 10. 23 v 14:13 Linux for blind general discussion napsal(a): That's how I installed archlinux. To get speakup going on archlinux when you boot and hear the tones, downarrow once then hit enter then wait. Speakup should come up. When it does and you're at the root prompt then get highlight tracking on with speakup. Then run archinstall and you should find it much more verbal and workable. In additional packages to get espeak-ng installed and able to work when that prompt comes up you need to add espeakup espeak-ng and alsa-utils. Once you get all other questions answered you'll be offered the opportunity to chroot into your new system and customize things. Do that and in there systemctl enable espeakup and also enable dhcpcd systemctl enable dhcpcd. If none of that works then you got a bad copy of archlinux and need to complain to your internet provider and have them fix your internet so that doesn't happen again and by none of this I mean on boot downarrow then hit enter at the tones if you don't get speech or the install breaks somewhere else you may have made a bad choice but if packages install fails that's definitely an internet provider screw up. -- Jude "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Re: arch-installer accessibility
As an adition to this, if you are away from the keys when it boots or you hit enter instad of down and enter, you can enable speech by doing the following, or here's how I do it 1. Let it time out, or hit enter, or however you get to the normal boot 2. espeak something 3. systemctl start espeakup That achieves the same result if you get into a normal boot, and don't want to reboot and go through the boot disk selection if it is giving you trouble On 10/1/23 13:13, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: That's how I installed archlinux.

arch-installer accessibility
Hi, Because I am an absolutelly UEFI idiot and I don't understand how to install it with commands, I want to install Arch Linux to my Acer laptop, which no more supports legaci using arch-install script. But the script is menu based and the menu items are in single line. So has speakup the same mode, I think it is called as light mode, or can I install Fenrir to live usb flash installer? Or can I use some other tool to install EFI? I know how to install mbr, but Efi isn't my friend. Secure boot is turned off, when it was turned on, booting to Arch was impossible and also using vmware was inpossible.
