Okay, another thing to try. When you get into the list box, hit down arrow three times; then hit spacebar once then hit tab once then hit enter. If that doesn't work, instead of typing orca, type orca -t enter and see if orca starts talking. On Sat, 15 Dec 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

An alternative to try. The list box launches and you're placed at the top not on a numbered selection. So try hitting downarrow three times then hit enter and see if orca comes up. They really need to put another selection in that list box too for those that can't use a mouse and need to

The kernel that was causing problems for speakup was itself later found defective and withdrawn. That if memory serves was 2.6.22 and that was replaced with 2.6.23 which can handle a speakup install. On Tue, 11 Dec 2007, Mirabella, Mathew J wrote: Hi all. I understand that due to some

orca doesn't come up talking when a reboot happens; there's that login prompt to handle first. One thing I can tell you is about the control-u key combination. It wipes out everything typed on a line before you hit it so can clear out bad login and password information for you. On Mon, 8
