Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 Alpha Images

[dhunt]

I briefly ran the AMD 64 Trisquel 7 live image on a Toshiba Satellite, for  
which I have to get a free software-compatible wifi card; the included Intel  
is not supported.  The wired connection works fine.  I'm writing this from a  
netbook, on which I have installed the image, and have a fully-functioning  
system (almost).  There is trouble connecting to a wifi spot for which there  
is a security key, using the network manager applet.  Once I choose a  
network, I am never prompted for the key. I was able to open the Network  
Connections option in System Settings, and add the key that way.  Once I  
connected, I did a bit of exploring and discovered that Orca screen reader  
cannot access the window list (I thin it's called)?  I can access the menus  
and indicators, though, and this is more important.  While I ran the  
installer, I had to frequently toggle the screen reader, in order to read the  
pages; the webkit slide show ran with no issues.  The included gnome sound  
recorder and totem media players don't seem to work; the former will not  
record sound; the latter won't play '.pls' audio streams. Vlc and  
gnome-mplayer can play these, however.  More observations to come, as I make  
them.
