If you're running NetworkManager, try the following command:
nmcli connection show
to list the available profiles, then
nmcli connection up 
to activate the one you want. This last command probably requires root
privileges. I haven't tried it, since NetworkManager automatically detects
which wireless network is available in the enviornment and automatically
chooses the correct profile. However, if you have profiles for multiple
wireless networks that are reachable from the same location, you may then need
to select manually.

For further details, see the nmcli(1) manual page.

Bug#825502: gnome-orca: New upstream release available : Orca 3.20.2

[Alex ARNAUD]

Package: gnome-orca
Version: 3.20.1-0ubuntu1~xenial1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
There was no update since April the 3rd, 2016 whereas two releases have 
been published since then.


   * What outcome did you expect?
I expected an upgrade of the gnome-orca to 3.20.2 version.
Could I help you to upgrade Orca ? Should I propose a patch?

Best regards.
