Re: [orca-list] orca and pfsense?

Maybe a case for yasr, i.e. if speech-dispatcher is available, or can be ported yasr is quite portable, 
working now on Macs I read.

Thanks for the explanation, well darn I'll look for another alternative, or
configure one using arch/sonar, I'm going to share this response with the
dev, so he has a better understanding, one of these days maybe it will be
accessible.

Hi.

You cannot use Orca on the pfSense live image.
pfSense is console mode only - no desktop and thus not possible to run orca.
I would love to be able to install pfsense (I've used it before but
needed sighted help to install) - post installation config and
management of the firewall is done via the pfSense web gui.
If there is a console screen reader that will run under fbsd it might
be possible to implement accessibility into the pfsense live image.
Speakup is a console screen reader but Linux only since it's running
in kernel space.

For this reason I dropped pfsense and configured my own firewall from
scratch using Debian as my base.
My debian based firewall/router is running text mode only and I use
speakup on the console.
However, I usually manage it via ssh though but it's nice to have the
opportunity to use the console if required for troubleshooting etc.

     Hello, so from my understanding, Pfsense is bassed on freeBSD, and there
is a port of orca available for it.  I've downloaded the latest version,
pfSense-CE-2.3-RELEASE-i386.iso, and am in contact with there support to see
if I can install pfsense on this box if i choose and then install orca,
anyone had luck with this so far? Here is one response I received from them
about this issue.
Hi Tim,

Just to point out, pfSense is actually based on FreeBSD, not Linux. I do see
there's a orca port for FreeBSD however I have not tried it. However, you
don't want to do anything via the console interface since it's without any
kind of GUI in KDE / gnome sense, instead it's managed remotely via web GUI.

So assuming you have orca on your operating system or any kind of
accessibility ready, all you need to do is open pfSense management IP in
your local browser. Then all management is being done via Web GUI. Can orca
or any accessibility reader help there?

The only issue I see here the installation process. However, if you lets say
purchase preinstalled appliance, you will have pfSense already preinstalled.
Other option is to download our preinstalled virtual machine for VMware if
you have Gold Subscription. Third option is perhaps to have a friend install
pfSense for you. I'm still trying to understand what exactly is causing the
main issue here, so let me know if I'm on the right track!

Please feel free ask more questions.

Thanks!
Ivor
My main issue is, if I boot that iso from a cd/usb drive, I'm assuming I'd
have to attempt and somehow install orca then go from there?  Thanks all!
