A little introduction, and some curiosities/questions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Good day everybody,

 

I’m Francisco, and I’m a blind high school kid who just recently started using Fedora 33 Workstation, both for fun, and hopefully, with guidance from you guys, for actual day to day school work.

I have a little bit of experience using Linux. I started with Ubuntu 3 or so months ago, almost immediately switched to Arch, to Debian, and now, I’m trying Fedora.

As you can see, I switched a lot, cause all those distroes, eccept arch, somewhat, weren’t the distroes that were right for me, that’s the beauty of Linux I guess.

Well anyways, everything went smoothly once I booted the iso on my macbook air, I just had to switch to Zorg so I could get the Anaconda installer talking.

I managed to activate all four rpm fusion repoes, some copr once, install snap and enable flatpak, and all the initial stuff without a single problem.

Now though, there is one problem, that I don’t like at all: being both a speach and braille user, I use Orca as my screen reader with Gnome, and BRLTTY, which you might have heard of.

Now, this question is mostly for blind users that might be in here, but of course, everyone who has experience with this sort of thing can answer.

I had to enable the bRLTTY daemon with systemctl enable brltty as sudo user, and that went fine.

Problem is, even though BRLTTY starts up as it is supposed too, my Focus 40 with which I’m using the thing with, shows me “screen not in text mode”, which, I guess, means that something’s wrong.

I don’t know what though, and I can say that with the other distores it just worked out of the box.

So my question is, has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone know a solution to this, for me, huge deal? Using brltty 6.1, the one that comes inclooded with F33.

Thank you all, and best regards,

Francisco.
