Before using orca --replace, you can also try restarting Orca with the key sequence alt+super+s. On 17/03/16 10:30, Jude DaShiell wrote: I had to do that with a mate install and it worked. I also found once a system is installed when orca stops talking hitting alt-f2 then typing orca

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I used option #2, installing from the Google PPA, on the following web page http://ubuntuportal.com/2014/04/how-to-install-google-chrome-web-browser-in-ubuntu-14-04-lts-trusty-tahr.html I used the Chrome web store to instal ChromeVox and the default

Re: chromium orca accessibility

Last I heard, chromium was not working with the google TTSs at all. As chrome isworking with speech-dispatcher again maybe chromium is working with sd again also. It did not work as well as chrome back when it could be used with chromevox and speech-dispatcher, but was usable for me. Others

Gnome being lighter is a good thing to know, I did another install and cleared the disk before that and I can bring mate up this time but it wasn't worth bringing up after all. I get notified wifi networks are available but can't get anywhere close enough to select one for use. The nearest I

Re: introduction

What I downloaded now that it's installed doesn't offer a mate or gnome choice for session types but then again I didn't hit f4 on the login screen yet either and use of f4 may help. On Thu, 17 Mar 2016, Christopher Chaltain wrote: Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 10:48:04 From: Christopher Chaltain

Installing Linux, was Re: introduction

Hi All, I have found that when Orca stops talking during an install of Linux, I can make it work by threatening to exit with alt + F4 Then I press escape to cancel the cancellation of the install, and it is back to talking. I hope this helps others. Glenn-- Message:

What system do you want to back up, i.e. what OS, distro if Linux, a system that is currently installed, or the ubuntu-mate you say you are going to install? Have you installed a lot of extra software beyond what came on the installer image you used? Is all the extra software you installed in

Re: introduction

It is something specific to your system if mate term is faster. It's as close to the same thing as is possible, was actually the exact same size, and had 0 differences one time when I dcompared. Thunderbird works perfectly with unity. It sounds like something is messed up, corrupted or badly

Re: introduction

If you're running Vinux 5, you don't need to install Gnome. You can just go into options on the log on screen and choose between Mate, Unity and Gnome. Also, if you're running Unity, you shouldn't have any trouble running Gnome. Chromium may not work well with Orca, but I use Chrome with

So far as I can tell, that's not ready for prime time. I'm using unity and vinux flavor of ubuntu for now. One firefox extension that would probably be useful for orca users is pentadactyl since that is supposed to make firefox easier for keyboard users to use I didn't find that using

Re: introduction

hi Once you've downloaded ubuntu mate, all that's needed to get accessibility going is to press alt+win+s. I *think* once this is done the login screen talks automatically, but in case it doesn't, press f4 at the login screen once the install is finished. I'd recommend the lts instead of 15.10,
