Re: [orca-list] Orca does not speak anymore on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Ubuntu 10.04 is relatively old, but it's still a supported LTS release.
I would not recommend just upgrading your release though. There have
been too many changes in the accessibility infrastructure, and I suspect
this will result in quite a bit of work to get everything working again.
If you want to upgrade to a later release of Ubuntu, I'd suggest saving
off your home directory and reinstalling.
