Hi, I've now moved from debian to ubuntu permanently, but I'm having a couple of annoying issues: I'm running ubuntu 12.10 using gnome-shell (gnome 3) with everything up to date.
1. I'm still having a problem which I mentioned a few weeks ago where libreoffice calc is unusable with orca. It seems when I try to use the arrow keys to navigate the spreadsheet, the cursor moves, but orca gives me no spoken or Braille feedback as to what is going on. 2. In firefox (and possibly other applications, but I can only reproduce in firefox), there are some problems with Braille. Sometimes the display will show "screen not in text mode" and if I arrow a few lines further this will change back to the text which is on the page. If I keep moving through the page the screen not in text mode message continues to reappear every few lines. Just reproduced this on m.facebook.com (news feed) and google.com just now. Can anyone reproduce/suggest any solutions? Or is this a question for the orca mailing list? 3. On my debian machine the boot messages were displayed in text mode. This meant I could start brltty early and see most of the boot messages. In ubuntu brltty starts and then moves to say screen not in text mode. I'm guessing this is because there is some type of graphical boot for ubuntu? I've tried changing grub from the splash to "text", but all this seems to do was not start the gui, which is not what I want. I still want to start the gui on boot, but have some type of way to review the boot messages when booting in Braille so that if something goes wrong I can fix my machine independently. I've also changed brltty to start early in /etc/rcS.d/ so that brltty is at S13. Has anyone got any ideas how I can see boot messages in Braille or at least have a way to know that something has failed at boot time, and a way to independently correct this? These are only very minor problems, and I'm really enjoying the ubuntu experience. If anyone has any suggestions or fixes though I'd be very grateful. Keep up the good work. Thanks in advance.
