I installed Lucid 3 days ago, with Orca enabled (option F5, and item 3 in the first install window). Orca comes up reading the gdm login window just fine. However, yesterday, I did an "sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade", and gdm lost it's configuration and stopped talking. I found the magic commands to get it working again in Luke's 30accessibility scripts in casper. They are:
sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/startup true sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t string /desktop/gnome/applications/at/visual/exec orca sudo -u gdm gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/applications/at/screen_reader_enabled true Gdm was somewhat broken 3 days ago, so I wasn't too worried that it's config was lost when I upgraded. However, today I upgraded again, and gdm stopped talking again, and I had to re-execute the commands above to fix it. Is this a long-term problem that blind users will keep running into? -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
