Re: [orca-list] Trisquel

Trisquel 6 is coming out in September, and will be based on Ubuntu 12.04, probably with classic Gnome or Gnome Shell as the default. I'm using 5.5, now, and find that is running T-bird and ABrowser 12, after updates. You should, perhaps, make your wishes known on the Trisquel user forum or developer lists, where someone is in a position to act on them.

Well, with reference to Trisquel, this is my ideal wishlist.
1, latest version of Firefox and Orca to make web accessibility like in
Ubuntu Precise
2, preferabally an older version of thunderbird may be 3.1 or so
3, a well behaved version of Libre Office calc
Rest all seems to be perfectly ok.
Happy hacking.

Hi Krishnakant,

When I checked the beta it was using Gnome 3.2 and Orca 3.2.1 I
believe. However, Gnome 3.2 was setup to boot in fallback mode so it
had a Gnome 2.x look and feel. As Dave says it is quite accessible,
but I prefer Ubuntu as I have access to newer packages etc faster.

Cheers!

I tried Thunderbird 13.
But no luck.
I press enter on the executable, but Orca does not respond for long time.
My wife looked at the screen and told me that password prompt had come
long before Orca ever responded.
This means that there is some veard thing happening with Orca.


I don't see this problem with Thunderbird 12 and Orca 3.1.9.


All other things such as the list of emails not working with Orca after
a new email is received are well known to users.


I also don't see this problem.


I guess we are also aware that Key echo and word echo does not work when
we write an email.


I do see this problem.

I think these problems are well understood, and I think w'ere waiting
for fixes from Mozilla, but I just found i interesting that I don't see
these problems with Orca xdesktop-3.1.9.


Happy hacking.

I don't know anything about Trisquel, but couldn't you use apt-get to
update Firefox?

Also, I'm still running Vinux 3.2.1 with Gnome 2 and Orca 3.1.9 on my
production system. I recently upgraded from Thunderbird 3.1 to
Thunderbird 12, and I don't have any problems with Thunderbird at all.
could it be the problems that people are seeing with newer versions of
Thunderbird have to do with the interaction between the newer versions
of Thunderbird and the newer versions of Orca or one of the pieces of
the accessibility infrastructure?

this
list so I can first get some insights as to issues for blind
computer
users working on a Linux/Orca platform. As such, I have some
questions
of curiosity:

1) What is Trisquel and what is it for? Is it a Linux/Unix
application?

2) When Daniel related that he's using a Mac Mini with VMWare
Fusion,
I'm assuming that this means that a Linux OS is being emulated
through
the Mac native OS (although I understand the Mac OS kernel is in
fact
Unix). How does that work, to get one of the screen readers to
function
I mean?

I want to migrate to a Linux system because I'm a retired Software
Engineer from Bell Laboratories and honestly prefer Unix and it's
various versions to any version of Windows.
