Re: [orca-list] Trisquel

very interesting.
I hvae all the problems I mentioned.
I am suing Orca 3.5.2 released I guess on 4th June.
This is what happens.
I start my machine and then Orca.
I press windows key + 9 because that is what launchers Thunderbird for me.
I have to wait for a long time before Orca prompts me for a password.
I made sure that this is not a problem with Thunderbird because my sighted wife told me that password prompt for the gnail account had come in just about 5 or 6 seconds. I waited for more than a couple of minutes after she informed me of the password prompt. Note that I have 6500 emails in my inbox and there are other folders as well. Secondly, after I open my inbox, suppose I get a new email, I can't get access to it through the list of emails. I have to press shift tab from the list of emails, then press up and down arrow to unselect and again select the inbox folder. 
Now when I press tab, I get to see the new email in the list.
Some how Orca is not becoming aware of the refreshed list of emails.
These are the only 2 problems I see apart from the commonly known bug on key echo. 
I tried with both Thunderbird 12 and 13.
Orca 3.5.2
Happy hacking.

I am actually using Thunderbird 12.0.1 under Fedora 17 and it seems to work very well with Orca, version 3.4.2 even better than it has in the past. I have not noticed any significant accessibility issues other than some minor things like Echo by Word does not seem to function. when composing a message. Other than that it is working wonderfully here.

This is really interesting.
I think I must try latest thunderbird.
I don't know which one comes with Ubuntu 12.04, although I assume its the latest. 
Happy hacking.

I don't know anything about Trisquel, but couldn't you use apt-get to
update Firefox?

Also, I'm still running Vinux 3.2.1 with Gnome 2 and Orca 3.1.9 on my
production system. I recently upgraded from Thunderbird 3.1 to
Thunderbird 12, and I don't have any problems with Thunderbird at all.
could it be the problems that people are seeing with newer versions of
Thunderbird have to do with the interaction between the newer versions
of Thunderbird and the newer versions of Orca or one of the pieces of
the accessibility infrastructure?

Well, with reference to Trisquel, this is my ideal wishlist.
1, latest version of Firefox and Orca to make web accessibility like in 
Ubuntu Precise
2, preferabally an older version of thunderbird may be 3.1 or so
3, a well behaved version of Libre Office calc
Rest all seems to be perfectly ok.
Happy hacking.

Hi Krishnakant,

When I checked the beta it was using Gnome 3.2 and Orca 3.2.1 I
believe. However, Gnome 3.2 was setup to boot in fallback mode so it
had a Gnome 2.x look and feel. As Dave says it is quite accessible,
but I prefer Ubuntu as I have access to newer packages etc faster.

Cheers!

Huh, Ubuntu 11.10?

Which version of gnome 3 and Orca comes with it?
Happy hacking.

Trisquel is a desktop Linux distribution, for use in homes, small
enterprises, and educational settings, containing only free software, and has the endorsement of the Free Software Foundation. It is based 
on Ubuntu 11.10, but with Unity, Ubuntu1, Software Center, Ubuntu
branding, and support for proprietary firmware and applications
removed, leaving a performant, stable, and reliable classic Gnome 3
experience.  I run Trisquel on an Asus netbook, very well.  Please
visit http://trisquel.info to download the system and learn more. If 
you boot the I18N DVD edition, orca will come up talking at system
start.  Once the system is live-booted, you have a fully-functional
Trisquel environment, from which you can test it for compatibility
with your hardware, run the included apps, install the system to your 
hard drive or a virtual machine, and more.



Cheers,



Dave

I'm interested in purchasing a somewhat older PC (probably 18-24
months
old) and installing Linux exclusively on that computer. I joined this list so I can first get some insights as to issues for blind computer users working on a Linux/Orca platform. As such, I have some questions 
of curiosity:

1) What is Trisquel and what is it for? Is it a Linux/Unix
application?
2) When Daniel related that he's using a Mac Mini with VMWare Fusion, I'm assuming that this means that a Linux OS is being emulated through the Mac native OS (although I understand the Mac OS kernel is in fact 
Unix). How does that work, to get one of the screen readers to
function
I mean?

I want to migrate to a Linux system because I'm a retired Software
Engineer from Bell Laboratories and honestly prefer Unix and it's
various versions to any version of Windows.
