2007-02-07 Thread Mike Pedersen
Hi Henrik, I don't know about the details of this, but espeak has now made it into main and installs fine here. After an update on Feisty the espeak driver for gnome-speech becomes available in the Orca selection box. It seems as though all voices have not yet been uploaded. The ones

Ah, perhaps we've missed a dependency on espeak-data. I would not have noticed since I installed it from universe earlier. Actually, I had installed from universe as well. I think that all voices just haven't been pulled into espeak data. Mike -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list

Hi all, Over the past hour, another big Ubuntu update was released. I just tested this again after downloading that update, and at least on my system, it appears that the problem has gone away as suddenly as it appeared. After updating and rebooting I'm still seeing the problem. Mike

Hi all, this might be somewhat off-topic but perhaps not. As I mentioned the other day with the default user configuration it is not possible to read many of the admin tools with a screen reader such as orca. I am wondering: Is it possible to configure a wireless network from the console?

Hi Luke, After checking both the dapper version and the Debian Sid version of brltty, it appears that the newest version in Debian is a new upstream release. I am wondering whether this would simply be better to sync to the latest Debian release? This seems logical it would also make sense
