[orca-list] Installing Vibuntu/Braille Support




I need to clarify the install procedure for Vibuntu, because although I did
include instructions I foolishly put them towards the end of the text file
which opens automatically. People who did not read the whole file have run
into unnecessary problems. Once Vibuntu has booted and you hear Orca talk,
all you have to do is press 'ctrl+shift+t' to open a terminal and then type
'sudo ubiquity'. You can then navigate through the installer using Orca. The
same procedure applies to running any admin app. Although some admin apps
work from the menus or desktop icons, their performance is inconsistant, so
as advised on the Orca website launch admin apps from the terminal for now.
Fixing this problem is my top priority. I have a working script but there are
a few tweaks needed. I will explain the problem in another post to see if
anyone can help out.

Secondly I claimed that Vibuntu 1.1 would support Braille from boot, and
unfortunately I assumed that brltty was enabled by default as it used to be,
but it wasn't. Thanks to Osvaldo La Rosa for pointing this out and explaining
what I needed to change. I have tested this an got a Teiman working. I will
include this in the next version. I will probably just enable Braille and
remaster it so this service is available. There will then be a longer delay
until the next version as I will have to go back to square one and remake
Vibuntu from scratch as the iso gets slightly bigger each time I remaster and
each generation increases the chances of a 'genetic deficency' creeping in
which might come back and bite me in the ass later on.
