Fudge | AlanBell ping - you tried gdm3? | 10:05 |
---|---|---|
AlanBell | hi Fudge, no, don't think I have, just lightdm | 10:06 |
AlanBell | which doesn't work :( | 10:06 |
Fudge | gdm is worse it seems | 10:07 |
Fudge | do you have somewhere you can try it? | 10:07 |
Fudge | the idea was to use gdm for a while till lightdm comes to the party with orca access | 10:08 |
Fudge | more to the point so i can select unity2d, the command TheMuso gave me to do it I am doing something wrong with loL | 10:08 |
AlanBell | I can try installing it on a precise VM I have here | 10:09 |
Fudge | sweet thanx | 10:10 |
Fudge | should be the same state I guess | 10:10 |
AlanBell | to get to unity2d in lightdm it is: tab enter down down enter tab password enter | 10:11 |
Fudge | oh AlanBell i did not realise i can just cheat and edit lighdm.conf | 10:16 |
Fudge | I went to do your suggestion but I had autologin turned on, so looking for that config setting found the other one | 10:16 |
Fudge | wow this is much better in 2d | 10:20 |
Fudge | quick launcher reads out lots more | 10:21 |
Fudge | must be difficult to maintain two desktops in essence | 10:21 |
AlanBell | there is a fair bit of common code, I think they were kind of not sure which was the best approach so decided to do both | 10:25 |
Fudge | i find it strange that 2d works better than 3d | 10:27 |
Fudge | im just happy now the workspaces work how i expect them to | 10:27 |
AlanBell | great | 10:33 |
AlanBell | I am surprised that 2d ended up working better, I always thought 3d would be the more accessible one, but the Qt stuff actually came together fairly well | 10:33 |
Fudge | me too | 10:36 |
Fudge | thats a neet output module for sd you did, very practical uses | 10:38 |
Fudge | I imagine it could come in quite handy for docs | 10:38 |
AlanBell | yes, also means that someone sighted can just use their application and see afterwards what an unsighted user would have heard | 10:39 |
AlanBell | I guess it also means a deaf person can support a blind person as a niche side effect! | 10:39 |
Fudge | voiceover has funtionality built in, actually doesn't orca have something similar? | 10:39 |
AlanBell | not really, I asked joanie about it, there is some debug log outputs, but not a clean transcript | 10:40 |
Fudge | maybe i am thinking of voiceover, cant recall | 10:40 |
Fudge | lol imagine an upgrade with that | 10:41 |
Fudge | 3 percent ... 4 percent ... | 10:41 |
Fudge | AlanBell did you have a chance to check gdm out | 10:50 |
Fudge | I figured as lightdm is not complete for accessibility people will revert to gdm | 10:51 |
AlanBell | oh, I installed it, let me reboot | 10:51 |
AlanBell | I hope lightdm will be accessible in precise, they wanted to do it for oneiric but ran out of time and there was a problem starting orca over it or something | 10:52 |
AlanBell | ok, it started, no orca though | 10:52 |
AlanBell | no bottom panel where the accessibility stuff used to be | 10:53 |
AlanBell | I can't start orca | 10:55 |
joanie | why not? | 10:55 |
AlanBell | from gdm, there is no bottom panel to start it from, switching to a terminal and DISPLAY=:0 orca does not work either | 10:57 |
joanie | oh in gdm, not in a session | 10:57 |
AlanBell | indeed, starts fine when I log in from gdm | 10:58 |
Fudge | mm must be something here then causing my probs | 11:02 |
Fudge | was looking for at-spi-registryd or something similar to that | 11:02 |
Fudge | a few times ive ran orca from gnome-terminal and gotten the text setup, even though i already have orca configuration files | 11:03 |
Fudge | hey joanie how you | 11:11 |
joanie | fine thanks. you? | 11:11 |
Fudge | going good, sorry i havnt sent that email yet | 11:11 |
Fudge | is it beer-o-clock yet | 11:11 |
joanie | no worries | 11:11 |
* joanie is busy working on other stuff | 11:11 | |
Fudge | no good mate | 11:12 |
