a question about Lukes fix to the installer?
Hi, I tried the installer using the instructions given. I had the following results. When I set the orca preferences first, everything worked very well. However, I tried this again, but didn't set the orca preferences. Instead I did alt tab and started doing the install. The problem I had was Orca would keep repeating things. For example, when I pressed tab it would say tab 45 times. I don't know if this is a bug, or just a fluke that happened to me, but I wanted to ask incase anyone else had the same problem. I did the install again today setting the preferences first and everything worked fine. The only thing I changed was to turn key echo off.

Sorry, I replied to the wrong list. -Jon - Forwarded message from Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:57:46 +0100 From: Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Y P [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: BrlTty defunct after upgrading Gutsy to Hardy Reply-To: Jon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, in gutsy: When i tried to upgrade to brltty 3.9, brltty 3.7.2 didnt uninstall correctly, i had to undo the modifications to /etc/init.d/brltty before the package would uninstall. After this brltty 3.9 installed without any problems. Then a while later i decided to attempt to upgrade to hardy, modifying /etc/apt/sources.list and doing an upgrade all worked fine, except that orca didnt ever seem to talk to the braille display. Brltty is running, works in terminal mode, the python brlapi bindings where installed, but still no braille and orca. I did a update/upgrade cycle every few days, but nothing happend in this regard. With all the debate about speech output options, and the various hacks that needs doing, its currently on a todo-list for a reinstall of good old gutsy. So our experiences seem to have coincided. rest of reply in-body: On Tue 29/04/2008 at 19:23:52, Y P wrote: Hi, I've upgraded a laptop from Gutsy to Hardy using this method: sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude full-upgrade to first full upgrade Gutsy.

And I still have the same brltty.conf as before with my de (german) table.

Re: [j.orcau...@gmail.com: Re: BrlTty defunct after upgrading Gutsy to Hardy]
Hi, my problem seems to be solved: removing the three # in /etc/init.d/brltty and I had already copied brltty.conf.dpkg.dist over brltty.conf and begun again the config. Now it works here with the right table. Thanks a lot. PS: still not understand why dpkg -l |grep brltty shows a brltty package in iF so it is installed but F what's that ?
