Re: Beta version of Feisty Fawn: problems with BRLTTY and Orca

2007-03-28 Thread Simon Bienlein
Hi Luke,

 How did you start the live CD? Did you choose any of the options from
 the Accessibility boot menu?

I did not choose an option but entered the CD and waited. Unfortunately,
one cannot clearly make out when one actually is in the boot menu. The
CD only stops spinning for an instant and then continues rather quickly.
Possibly, one could improve the CD's accessibility by having a blip
played out by the PC speaker and by setting up a longer timeout. This
is how the Oralux CD works.

Which option should I choose? Being in a rush, I was not able to find
any recent information on the Ubuntu website.

Simon

Beta version of Feisty Fawn: problems with BRLTTY and Orca

2007-03-27 Thread Simon Bienlein
Hi,

I tested the beta version with my Braille display that is connected to
the laptop via USB. BRLTTY was started and accepted the Braille display.
I wanted to switch to the virtual console with Alt+F1 in order to start
Orca. I was not shown a prompt. Thus, I switched to Gnome with Alt+F7
and pressed Alt+F2. Then, I entered orca and ran through the setup with
the voice output. Subsequently, I answered the question whether I would
like to logout with 'yes'. I did not hear a drumbeat and was not logged
out and in properly. As I acted on the assumption of a problem report I
pressed Enter. With Alt+F1 I was able to switch to the console, where,
however, I still was not shown a prompt.

It would be nice if this problem could be solved. At the moment it seems
like one cannot test Orca at all.

Simon

 I can confirm this: they seem to have _dropped_ the text console
 logins...  To my mind, this really has to be reverted.

According to the core development team,this is a known bug, and should 
be fixed soon.
