Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu 18.04: logon screen orca preferences

Do you use Orca master?

Hi Andy,

Thanks for this advice. I just logged out in order to try <ctrl+insert+space> on my logon screen but it did 
not open orca preferences.

However, I asked for the admin's help about another problem, (very very low screen resolution) and the admin said that 
the "do-release-upgrade" command I issued to install 18.04 over my 16.04 may have failed with something 
although it finished with the usual prompt.

They fixed the low screen resolution by manually reinstalling the graphics driver but other problems still 
remain. Maybe not being able to open orca preferences on the logon screen is one of them.

For the moment, the admin is gathering information to determine how to solve the other problems I have with 
my PC and if they can't easily fix them, they will completely install a new 18.04 distro.

Many thanks. Have a nice day. ChD

Try pressing CTRL+INSERT+SPACE on the logon screen. Just tried it and it works fine.

Hi Andy,

I had the same question but Kristof asked it before I did. I thought about <ctrl+alt+tab> but I was believing 
that it could only be used once logged in. After reading your advice, I tried it on my logon screen and it worked. 
Many thanks.

Now, I have another question: Why pressing <insert+spacebar> does not work to change orca preferences on the 
logon screen? It did on my previous 16.04 so that I could remove key echo while typing my password.

Many thanks. Have a nice day. Chris D

It depends on your desktop environment. For the most part, Gnome users have to get focus to the top bar with 
ALT+CTRL+TAB, then use the arrow keys to find the system menu. I don't know of a shortcut key for Mate.
Maybe Alex can give feedback on this.

Hi all,

This is mayby a silly question, but how can I open the system menu?
In Ubuntu 16.04 I pressed Alt+F10 but this doesn't work in 18.04.

Thanks in advance,
With kind regards,
Kristof
