Re: [orca-list] Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0 Released!

["D. A. H." <dhunt freedommail co>]

Hi,

When you boot the live image, and just wait about a minute, the desktop 
will load; orca may take another minute or so after that.  I use usb. 
dvd may take longer.  orca will start talking.  If you hear nothing 
after about 3 minutes, make sure your sound is not muted or turned down. 
 My machines have a volume wheel and media keys.  If you have sound, 
but no speech, try manually starting orca with either 'ctrl+super+s' or 
typing the orca command line into the run dialogue ('alt+f2', then 
'orca', then 'press enter').  When the system is running, use 
'ctrl+alt+tab' to cycle between panel and desktop; 'alt+tab' for window 
switching; 'alt+f1' for menus (top-most menu may not speak; use arrows). 
 Panel indicator applet has battery, network, time, and volume widgits.


Need more help?
