Re: [orca-list] talking gdm with orca in fedora



Wonder why it doesn't have software speech like Debian.  I haven't had
a hardware speech synth since like 1998 or something when my Keynote
Gold died.  Closest I have to a device that might serve is a cell
phone.  I bet there's a way to turn an android phone into an external
speech synthesizer.  Kind of like what was possible with devices like
Braille 'n Speaks back when.  Somebody smart and savvy ought to look
into it.  =)

That you should be able to install without sighted help, at least if you
have a hardware synthesizer.  My present plan is to use it on a new Linux
machine, assuming the guy at the computer store and I can ever get a deal
done.  (He's quite busy.) I don't know if this will help many people right
away, but I thought it worth mentioning.

Hi.

Your post arrived just fine.  The reason you are probably not getting many
responses is that there are very few of us who use Fedora due to largely
inaccessible install process.  That may soon change, however, as Joannie
has
been working on Anaconda's accessibility.  Hang in there.  Someone is bound
to respond sooner or later.

Best,
Alex M

Hello list,
I'm not sure if my message was received, but I'll repost. I'm wanting to
make gdm talk on fedora this way I can tell when to enter my password when
using fedora.
I've found some messages relating to fedora 11, but I'm not sure if the
same
still applies. I've tried doing
gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility
to see what my system would report for the current user and i get the
following.

Client failed to connect to the dbus daemon.
The remote application did not send a reply, the message buss security
policy blocked the reply, the reply timed out/expired, or the network
connection timed out.
Failure listing entries in /desktop/gnome/interface , no dbus
daemonrunning.

I'd think this is an selinux-policy issue, but I'm not sure.
Either that or values with gconftool-2 do not require dbus. I believe
though
its the latter of what I've mentioned.
I'm running Fedora 17.

cheers to all,
Alonzo
