MeanwhileOCRdesktop is listed amon

Hello Blaine,
For folks with low version I highly recommend using the Compiz window manager.
I have no idea if/how it can be installed in LMDE. I didn't find it this
repository: packages.linuxmint.com
But I am not a Mint user myself, so it's quite possible that I miss something
obvious.
Else,

cp does too, I learned that from Thomas Schmitt.
As it takes some time to complete for a big file and doesn't provide
an output I usually use it like this/
cp /path/to/iso /dev/

Yes, if you use the version shipped in the GNU coreutils package.
But as this option is not specified by POSIX one can't be sure that it
be available.
I also try to avoid the GNU extensions of grep, sed, and als
Hi John,
No, the haven't a mailing list.
They have an IRC channel though:
mate @ irc.freenode.net
I hope pidgin is accessible enough with braille through Orca.
But I guess your questions can be answered in debian-accessibility as well.
Also, the Slint distribution that I maintain also ships Ma
Hello John,
As Alex said, at least here (Slint distribution) there are several ways to
access the help for the Mate desktop:
1. With the focus on the desktop, just press F1.
2. Press Alt + F1 to put the focus on the Application menu, arrow right twice
to switch to the System menu, then Arrow do
Hello John,
In Debian Buster Mate is at version 1.20 but in Slint currently it is at
version 1.24.
This could explain (or not: to be honest I didn't check) some of the
differences.
This being said the sources files of the various components of Mate come from
the same repositories, but the cho
Hi David,
lynx is really better used on the command line with a console screen reader,
like espeakup, speechd-up or fenrir, or brltty if you have a Braille device.
Cheers,

Hi David,
currently we ship lynx-2.9.0dev.4 in Slint, but I hardly understand why
lynx itself would behave differently between Debian (which version?) and
Slint on this regard, but maybe if your config file makes a difference.
Anyway we need more information to investigate.
Please attach your co
ith Speakup for instance.

Hi,
Maybe OT, but very possibly Qemu does a better job than VMware Workstation 15.
At least its audio is very good, with a choice between several sound cards.
You can find an installer here:

Hello John.
To delete a file in Caja if it has the focus, indeed use the del key.
But this can fail in two cases:
1. This file can't be deleted as it has the "i" (meaning immutable)
attribute, as indicated in "man chattr"
2. The user running caja does not have the "write" privilege for the
PS: the file should be owned by the user who tries to delete it
if the directory where it is stored has the sticky bit set. This
is generally the case for the /tmp directory.

Hello John,
I tried it on Slint with Chrome on Firefox on Mate and it works.
It is also accessible with speech from Orca, in both Firefox and Chrome.
I am not able to try with braille though.
Maybe post on the Orca mailing list?
Best regards,
Didier
