Bug#598133: gdm3: Should provide shortcuts and configuration snippets to enable accessibility
Debian-boot, this is about letting d-i automatically enable accessibility features of gdm3 when accessibility was enabled during d-i.

Such a value could easily be set in d-i. How is this done from d-i more precisely? You need to ship a file in /usr/share/gconf/defaults. Like for gksu, this one should probably be an alternative. Mmm, ATM there are both speakup and brltty which would want to enable Orca for instance. How to do this properly? My concern is making sure that no package upgrade will unexpectedly override the alternative that has been chosen by d-i. Else, a dirty-but-working way would be to let brltty or speakup d-i scripts create a file in /usr/share/gconf/defaults and run update-gconf-defaults.

Are there any shortcuts for blind people to access them? If there are, they don't seem to be documented. No idea. AIUI, that would be the responsibility of gnome-settings-daemon, see plugins/a11y-keyboard/gsd-a11y-keyboard-manager.c: on_status_icon_activate(), which should get triggerable by a shortcut. Thus cloning since it's independant from being configurable by d-i. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Are there any shortcuts for blind people to access them? If there are, they don't seem to be documented. No idea. Also, there should probably be a possibility of configuration snippets to enable it. I mean, when a blind uses e.g. braille output during Debian installation, braille output should be enabled in gdm3 at reboot in the freshly installed system. Brltty can emit a couple of lines somewhere to do so, there just needs to be a place to emit them to. I don’t know for brltty, but all the a11y stuff can be enabled/disabled by the admin (in /etc/gdm3/greeter.gconf-defaults) or by a package (in /usr/share/gdm/greeter-config/). If you need to start another tool, have a look in /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/. All gdm3 does is starting a minimal GNOME session, so everything you can do in a GNOME session can be done here, just in different directories. Cheers, -- .''`.
