Re: [orca-list] Trisquel

Smart policy.  It's a good idea to go to a point about 2 weeks or at most a month in the past and just do a 
control shift end to select to end of list, cut and past into a folder labeled "archived" or something.  This 
way, your inbox is kept small.  I've had slowness issues with past Thunderbir versions and Orca where if I 
let my inbox go above 200 or so, it would freeze up completely when I launched it and I'd hear my cooling fan 
cool up and speech begin to crackle.  It was unusable that way and made me switch to alpine on that machine.  
I'm running Precise with whatever the latest thunderbird is on there along with Orca 3.4.2 or 3 depending on 
what's in Proposed at the moment and I've got about 400 message in my inbox.  It is running fine.

Question: Why on Earth do you need 6500 e-mails?  When will you ever get time to read them all?  Have you 
ever considered exporting them to an archive file like a .gz or .bz2 file?  

Just asking.

It's usually under 50.  When I switch to my All Mail, which has 
thousands, reading and selection seems quick enough.  I can set T-Bird 
to forget my password and see what happens.  I'm on a netbook, and still 
keep T-Bird remembering my password.  Login to the system requires a 
password.  When in a public place, and I need to go afk, I lock the 
screen.



Cheers,



Dave

You can get the latest Mozilla browser, but it's not called Firefox in
Trisquel, it's called ABrowser. Yes, you can use apt-get to install
these, and any other newer versions of packages in the repository.
Regarding latest T-Bird, I think the problem with the message list not
refreshing has been fixed. Since upgrading, I don't seem to have the
problem. I'm using the included Orca 3.2.1 in Trisquel 5.5.



Cheers,



Dave

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.

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.
