Re: [orca-list] Accessible instalation in Fedora



Hi Janina,

I have attached my logon-sound.desktop file. You can see that I just use the mpg123 program to play the sound but you could use anything you wanted.

Just test your command via terminal first, and if it plays, it should play via the .desktop file.

Hope that helps,

Regards,

Nick

Thanks, Nick. I learned something today. Guess I haven't been keeping up
on Free Desktop features, and this one in particular seems to be
implemented cross platform, including Microsoft.

Question: So, how do you make a sound play? The docs talk about starting
an app? Is it as straight forward as providing an argument to aplay (or
paplay), e.g.

aplay mysound.ogg

I'd just go test, but my Linux Desktop is not functional at the moment.

To make a sound play when the desktop is up I just use a .desktop file in my
~/.config/autostart folder.

Or am I missing something obvious about what is needed here?

Thanks,

I've always wanted something like that. It doesn't exist, afaik.

Has Fedora got an audible desktop package that produces a sound once the
desktop comes up after the package gets installed?  If not, this may be
an opportunity for a little software development.

The Fedora Mate image is also fully accessible.? The Mate edition seems to use an older version of the 
instaaller, in which, you can specify the default user info and host name with in the
installer; the Gnome doesn't let you set up users until first post-install boot.? Note, new user will have to guess 
when the Gnome "welcome to fedora" screen is up; when it is, 'alt+super+s' works
as expected.? Once you fill the form, you login in, and can start using Fedora right away.?


One more thing:?? if you want qt accessibility, you'll have to do some fiddling; I never got this part 
working.?

?To me, running Fedora is kinda like getting the semi-annual Ubuntu STS releases, rather than staying on LTS.




Cheers,
