kalilinux accessibility

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

 



I bought a new open architecture computer and kalilinux was installed on it and orca was set up and enabled. Unfortunately a talking login prompt was not enabled. I was told to wait a minute when starting the system and then to type in credentials I was provided. There were two solidstate disks sent with the system one inside the machine and another in a holder in a box that came with the package both of which had kalilinux installed on them. I have proved the machine is not defective since I put talkingarch on one of those two drives but to date have not figured out how to get kalilinux talking. I know when installing kalilinux before it did not mind installing and working on a system without a monitor. For now I don't have the right connector for the monitor I do have so until this situation is temporarily remedied by tech support somewhere along the way, no sighted person can look at the monitor and tell me what's going wrong. I would like to know what key combination to hit to disable the screen saver temporarily long enough for me to log into the system. This is a really fast machine with much in the way of resources and I experienced things with sata drives where those had to be kept unlocked until the dvd started spinning when I wanted to install something on those sata drives and then quickly locked the drive so the installation could proceed. It may be things are happening faster than anticipated by developers who don't always have the state of the art hardware. There are brailled commands I have for gnome to permanently disable screen savers but you have to be logged in to issue them.
