Thanks a million for your help. I tried your suggestions to no avail. However, something strange happened, when I connected my braille display it connected to accessible coconut right away. I was able to browse the menus and connect to the internet. During my browsing the speech came on. I have two questions, how can I get a command line prompt? My second question is, what is the command to turn off the computer? Alt f4 did not take me there.

I was able to boot the machine from the usb, but there was no speech to guide me. I was able to confirm that I indeed booted from usb with accessible coconut by using my iPhone camera. I have no idea how to get the speech going. So please if you have a tutorial, send it my way. >> Ibrahim >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>>> On Oct 29, 2021, at 10:29 AM, Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> >>> Hello, >>> When using the live CD, The screenreader started at boot. >>> But a after I installed it, I get no screenreader at startup. >>> All settings as far as I know are correct. >>> The only way to get speech is to go to the run window with >>> Alt+F2 >>> Then type >>> orca >>> And press enter. >>> I reinstalled linux and got the same result. >>> As I was doing the install, I checked the box to get updates during the install.
