Re: accessing a Linux OS on external drive

2022-12-08 Thread Vojtěch Polášek

Hello,

I have questions:

1. how is the SD card reader conected to the computer? Is it internal one?

2. What virtualization software are you using to run the Ubuntu VM?

3. do I understand correctly that you run the Ubuntu VM on a different 
machine than the Asus with 4 GiB of space?

Hi,
I never see any messages come through this list, so I hope I'm not the only
one on this list.
I have a question on accessing a USB drive in Ubuntu running in a VM.
So I have an old Asus with only a 4GB internal HD, and I installed Debian
11.5 on an attached USB drive, because I could not get a desktop installed
onto 4GB.
It runs good, the desktop is a bit slow with firefox, but other than that,
it does what I need.
I just received a fast 32 GB SD card, and I am wanting to use DD to copy the
USB partitions over to the SD card.
The USB drive is a 64 GB USB stick, which I partitioned into two 32 GB
partitions, and used Rufus to put DVD 1 of Debian onto, then I booted to
that, and installed Debian onto the other 32 GB partition of the USB stick,
and as mentioned, works okay, but the SD card would be faster and less
awkward.
But when I boot to the Ubuntu and plug in the drives, it sees the SD card,
but not the USB partitions.
I did
sudo lsblk
and it only shows /dev/sda and its partitions, and /sdb and /sdb1, which is
the partition on the SD card.
I've tried
sudo mount -a
but that didn't change things.
And disks in the desktop menus only show the two VM drives, and the SD card.
Computer in places is the same.
I am wondering what I'm doing wrong, or not doing.
I don't think there is a way to copy the partitions on the USB drive while
they are in use, that is why I'm trying this in Ubuntu.
Thanks.

Glenn

Re: Uubuntu 21.04 beta has inaccessible installer

2021-02-22 Thread Vojtěch Polášek

Hi,

I don't know the mailing list but I saw some conversation. Yes, Ubuntu 
currently has inaccessible installer, unfortunately. They are using 
flutter framework. But Flutter developers are aware of it and they are 
working on it.

I mentioned about it too in the past.

There was no reply at all from the accessibility group.

Only way to install ubuntu for a totally blind person on his/her own 
is to use the ubuntu 18.04 installer and then to run do-release-upgrade.

2018-10-17 Thread Vojtěch Polášek
Hi guys,

is there anything special I need to do for Orca to work with braille
displays in Ubuntu 18.04?

To be more exact, I am using Accessible Coconut 18.04.4.

Brltty works, for example braille in virtual text console works. But
Orca does not display anything in braille even if braille support is
enabled.

My braille display shows only "screen not in text mode".

I guess there is some trick with /etc/brlapi.cookie or something like
that, but I am not sure. Any tips?

Podcast about installing Accessible Coconut

2018-08-16 Thread Vojtěch Polášek
Hi guys,

at this year's ICC camp in Croatia, I ran a workshop about accessible
Linux for blind people. I chose Accessible Coconut because currently it
works as the only still developed relatively up-to-date Linux
distribution with features for blind and visually impaired.

As a product I also created a podcast which explains how to install
Accessible Coconut on USB drive so you can carry it around as your
portable operating system and experiment more.

 Hello all.
 I had previously reported this problem.
 I still can't access the Libre Office menu bar.
 I am aware that this is because the Unity integration in LO is not stable.
 I wish to know if some one has a solution to disable the global menu
 integration of LO with Unity?
 I don't want to disable Unity style menus for the entire system, just LO.
 Happy hacking.

a new article about Ubuntu 12.04 and Unity

2012-12-21 Thread Vojtěch Polášek
Hi folks,
I am sorry if I am off topic, but I think that this may be useful as
resource for new Linux users.
I am writing series of articles about Linux for visually impaired. It is
not going very fast, because I have lots of things to do, mainly
studies, but I try to publish as much as possible.
I create these articles primarily for Czech users, but usually I prepare
a translation into English in several months.
This latest article is about Unity 2D and its abilities and it is aimed
mainly at new users. I would like to receive your feedback, mainly on
what other software should I discuss on my blog.
I will probably add a link to accessible freedom wiki, because there is
lots of useful information in English.
So here is the post and don't forget to look at older articles.

espeak and libsonic in ubuntu 12.04

ubuntu 12.04 release version - my impressions

2012-04-29 Thread Vojtěch Polášek
Hi,
I have successfully downloaded and installed 12.04 final release.
I have installed latest orca from git (gnome-3-4 branch) and
at-spi2-core (gnome-3-4 branch). This solved my problem with libreoffice
reading current line twice.
I am quite satisfied, except for several things, I hope they will be solved.
Orca still doesn't work with threading in thunderbird. It doesn't
refresh list in a right way, and it causes confusion. Is therre any bug
for this?
And I have a problem - I can't set orca to use higher speeds of espeak.
I have copied speechd.conf from vinux 3.1 machine, where it works into
.speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf and there is no difference.
HUD is not speaking, but I don't mind, at least for now.
And it seems, that in Thunderbird, shortcuts like o and p doesn't work
correctly. I am using thunderbrowse for viewing RSS feeds and it behaves
strangely.
Can you please help me with these problems?
I heart that there is some additional repository or ubuntu accessibility
related stuff - but it was probably for unity 3d. I am using unity 2d
and I am satisfied.
I will post more.
Thank you,

 Hy Vojtěch,

 Unfortunately only me sent your letter, not the list.
 When you want update at-spi2-core package, not use the master branch,
 you need using gnome-3-4 branch.
 So, when you want compiling at-spi2-core upstream version, you need
 run first git checkout gnome-3-4 command in the source tree before you
 do general compilation related commands.
 I will be test word echo in gnome-terminal, and if need, reporting
 this issue in Bugzilla.
 For example, I using gnome 3.4 my Precise system without any problems.
 You need enabling universe and multiverse repositoryes, and need
 installing gnome-session-fallback package.
 I oldest time wrote a complete list what can need doing if an user
 would like using GNOME3 fallback interface, now little actualized the
 instructions:
 Switching from Unity Desktop to GNOME3 fallback session in Ubuntu
 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)
 Installing the GNOME3 fallback session related packages and dependencies
 First, you ensure already enabled with the universe and multiverse
 repositories.
 Default the universe and multiverse repositoryes is not enabled. If
 you would like enabling this repositoryes, launch the
 software-properties-gtk preference tool, and enable this repositoryes.
 You are possible to launch software-properties-gtk preference tool for
 example with sudo software-properties-gtk command in gnome-terminal.
 If the universe and multiverse repositoryes is enabled, you need
 install gnome-session-fallback package. You possible using the
 Software Center or Synaptic this purpose, or possible using in
 terminal with following command:
 sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

 Changing the desktop session from Unity to GNOME3 fallback session
 This is possible with LightDm, you need choosing GNOME Classic (no
 effects) session after you logged out.

 Final customizations
 When you logged again your system, you already have in the GNOME3
 fallback session. Following part containing optional modification
 suggestions to prowide the new desktop session with better A11y
 experience:
 Fixing system menue inaccessibility related problem
 Unfortunately GNOME3 developers removed with the old System menue in
 the fallback session. Unfortunately, this modification are resulted
 visualy impaired users unable to access the importanter functions for
 example with the actual username awailable submenue (unable to change
 actual user status, launch system settings, log out, switch user, or
 shutdown the system.
 Now, have only one known workaround to prewent this problem:
 1. Press Control+Alt+TAB keystroke, and go to the top extended panel.
 2. Delete this panel. Press SHIFT+F10 keystroke, and choose the
 Delete this panel.
 3. Go to bottom extended panel, and press SHIFT+F10 keystroke. Choose
 the create new panel menu item.
 4. In the empty panel, you need add the main menu applet, and
 optional the Clock, Notification Area applets. This last two
 applet is need only if you are not would like using GNOME3 ported
 Indicator applets.
 This modifications are resulting you an one column menue system. If
 you are press ALT+F1 keystroke, you are possible accessing all
 importanter menu items. You will be see your username realted
 submenue, possible log out, switch user, or shutdown the system with
 keyboard usage.

 Using indicators under GNOME3 fallback session
 This is simple, in Ubuntu 12.04 system you need installing
 indicator-applet and indicator-applet-complete packages. After the
 packages are installed, go to for example with top extended panel the
 CTRL+ALT+TAB keystroke. Press Shift+F10 keystroke, and choose the Add
 the panel... menu item.
 If you would like using all indicators with a single applet, you need
 add the Complete indicators applet with your panel.
 After this, when you closing the add panel applet dialog, if you press
 SUPER+S keystroke, you possible accessing all oldest time awailable
 indicators, similar with Ubuntu Natty classic GNOME session.
 This modifications resulted me a very confortable desktop environment.
 Be carefuly, when you possible first time logged in in GNOME3 fallback
 session, I am not sure default shortcuts are awailable (ALT+F1,
 ALT+F2, etc.

Well, that at-spi thing actually ixed my libreoffice problem, thanks alot.
And I love that QT  accessibility - I have tried just skype or a while
and qstardict, but its very good step forward.
But I am woried about thunderbird - when you open a thread, I found that
messae list is not updated properly, just try it:
a) find a collapsed thread in the middle of the list and take note of
following messages
b) expand thread and go through messages - htey are still the same, but
when you open them, they are messages belonging to that thread.
And echoing by word doesn't work in thunderbird at all, in terminal it
works only if you type for example something, then dash or dot (will
announce word).
And I have a question - can I conigure espeak to use libsonic as it is
in Vinux? Because othervise its quite slow for me. Libsonic0 is installed.
And is there any way of reordering items or adding items to unity launcher?
I have install gnome-session-fallback, but I like the way how unity
searches my files.

ubuntu 12.04 daily - my impressions

2012-04-18 Thread Vojtěch Polášek
Hi,
Yesterday, I have successfully installed ubuntu 12.04 daily (probably
version from April 17th.
I am very satisfied with the way, in which the accessibility was done, I
haven't encountered any glitches during installation, I used external
harddrive, bootloader has been installed correctly. I am using ubuntu
2D session, I suppose this is Unity 2D. It seems fairly accessible to
me, but I need some things to be clarified.
I have encountered only one crash of unity 2D, and installed all
available updates, even tried Skype and was able to read EULA and login
screen without any problems. I have downloaded latest orca master
(3.5.X), compiled and installed using checkinstall.
I have tried firefox without any visible problems, gedit, totem, rhythm box.
I have encountered these problems:
1. Orca has problems with tabs in windows like orca preferences. To
reproduce:
a) open orca preferences
b) move with tab several controls forward
c) using shift+tab move backward, untill you reach general tab.
d) press left or right arrow - you will skip to some control, but the
tab won't change.
e) use tab to cycle through all controls and find general tab again.
f) press arrow and now it works.
Try this on any dialog with tabs.
2. I had some problems when setting up manual IPv4 configuration for my
wireless network. When I typed IP address, i couldn't move to any other
fields, I had to use flat rewiev to get out of it and finish my
configuration.
3. I have a suspicion, that orca doesn't read refreshing text in gnome
terminal - during installation of packages or whatever, but I don't have
reliable way of reproducing it.
4. In Libreoffice, Orca reads always the previous line and then two
times current line. However, when I changed verbosity for soffice to
brief, it stopped. When I changed it back to verbose, it was normal as
well, so for now I can't reproduce it.
5. This is not a bug but just warning - the shortcut for showing desktop
has been changed after full upgrade to ctrl+super+d.
6. Whe I tried to run gedit as root in gnome terminal, it showed - no
display could be found. Whats this?

Now I would like you to help me to clarify some misunderstandings:
1. What are those dash, HUD, menu etc... I am confused.
When I press Super key, i can search applications, files etc. good. Is
there any way of dislpaying applications in categories like in gnome?
When i press alt+F1, i have some menu with applications and there are
mounted file systems shown towards the bottom of it.
When I press alt+F2, it is something like run dialog, ok.
When I press alt, HUD is not speaking.
The menu using alt-f10 is working nicely.
I am quite confused.
2. Should I try latest gnome (3.4) on this system? It is system for pure
testing, so no problem. Is it worth trying?
