I was able to enter my gmail <BR>credentials and get to the inbox using I think it was shift-f10 inside <BR>of thunderbird but haven't got email down for reading yet. I may have <BR>to install gnome but with only a gig of ram on my athelon X86_64 gnome <BR>will probably crash the computer. Inside mate to get to a terminal you <BR>want to run mate-terminal since that runs faster than gnome-terminal. <BR>The mate-terminal also works under unity. Firefox works pretty well <BR>from my limited use of it so far. The chromium app isn't accessible for <BR>orca at all and isn't worth messing with for now at least. Emacs is <BR>available and probably very accessible as a work environment which <BR>should help cover any of libreoffice's shortcomings. Thunderbird is <BR>easily crashed over here, but then again I'm a touch typist and have <BR>little tollerance for keyboard latency unless I get some kind of audio <BR>indication that something I've done is being worked. Some clicks from <BR>the speaker would help in this respect but I don't know that any form of <BR>Linux offers this feature that can be enabled yet.<BR>More than that I don't yet know but will find out as I hack through this <BR>system.<BR><BR><BR>On Thu, 17 Mar 2016, Daniel Crone wrote:<BR><BR>> Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:44:28<BR>> From: Daniel Crone <<A href="">quirky.wizard@gmx.com</A>><BR>> To: <A href="">ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com</A><BR>> Subject: introduction<BR>> <BR>> Hello one and all.<BR>> My name is Daniel, and I have used different operating systems through the years.<BR>> I have decided to give ubuntu mate a try.<BR>> I am very new to linux.<BR>> Before starting, I welcome anyone?s words of wisdom for a totally blind user, new to linux.<BR>> I liked the idea of sonar, but I have tried to install several times, and the installer never finished.<BR>> But that could be due to my machine?s being so old and slow.<BR>> From the dvd, sonar worked very well.<BR>> I hope ubuntu will be equally good.<BR>> So, hats off to all, those on the sonar team, and to all on the ubuntu team.<BR>> I would really like for all linux accessibility people to benefit each other.<BR>> -- <BR>> Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list<BR>> <A href="">Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com</A><BR>> <A href="">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility</A><BR><BR>-- <BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
