Activation of Speech Dispatcher under squeeze

Hi everybody, I'd like to use Speech Dispatcher under Debian squeeze. After the installation of the packages speech-dispatcher and python-speechd I changed the configuration so the spd will be started when the computer is booted and the communication goes via inet_socket. I stopped the speech

Hello everybody, I do my first Stepps with KVM on my Debian Lenny system. I recognized the following: If I boot the Debian Install CD on the wirtsystem a audible signal is played if the boot menu appears. If I boot the CD in the virtual KVM machine, the audible bell is not played. I hear t

Supports BrlTTY alsamixer?

Hello everyone, when I start alsamixer on my Debian Lenny system, I can not readout the volume control data. No cursor tracking is taking place here. Can the program be operated with BrlTTY and if yes, with which tricks? Which mixers do you use on the console except for amixer? Thanks in adv

Re: Release notes: section about Braille displays in installing.dbk/installing.po

Hi Christian and Samuel, I would not remove the Braille section as it describes how one can install Lenny with a braille display. The procedure is different compared to Etch and was not explained in any official documentation back then. Thus I created the bug #500441 and submitted the section.

Voxin 0.19 cannot be used

Hello everyone, I installed [1]Voxin 0.19 on my Lenny System. If I choose the IBM voice output in the orca settings afterwards, I cannot hear anything. The language does not work. Can you help me? I wouldn’t know where to look for the error. Thanks in advance, Simon 1.

Re: Bug#505564: Please document the braille support

Hi Franz, I am blind myself and I suggested the paragraph "Install debian with a Braille display" in Bug #500441. It has been taken into the release notes. As I have actually little to do with the speakup support and the "dark" themes, I am rather reluctant towards writing a patch for this. I

Questions about Netinst and Live CD

Hi everyone, I am interested in the Netinst and Live CD. I noticed about the Netinst CD that there is no audible beep when the boot menu appears. I believe to have read that a blip was planned to be installed. I had assumed that I - like with the Etch CD - would stand at the boot prompt and c

Hi Mario, The shortcut for the preference menu is correct. Can one find this information in the online documentation for BRLTTY as well? If so, one could refer to this before using BRLTTY. It would be great if one could find the help integrated into BRLTTY on the website as well. After all, how i

Re: Debian-Installer with BRLTTY (USB) test report

Hi Mario, How did you access the BRLTTY preferences menu? If one has never accessed and read the help integrated into BRLTTY, one does not know the shortcut for accessing the menu. From the reference manual [1] for BRLTTY I did not learn how to access the preferences menu with the Braille display
