Description Michał Zegan 2011-11-25 14:21:30 UTC

Hello.
I am a blind user and I want to be able to install fedora linux without sighted help, but it is currently impossible.
Even if I would use the livecd and make it install the system, the next problem is firstboot.
I think firstboot currently does not have any support for orca.

I think that it should be possible to enable the orca screenreader at the firstboot screen by pressing some special key combination.
It would require a working sound hardware, and speech-dispatcher/at-spi infrastructure to be started, then the orca screen reader.
It is required for us to be able to complete all firstboot steps without needing help.
Also, firstboot should ask if the user wants to enable the screenreader at login and in his account.
If the screenreader was enabled after firstboot was booted, it should be selected by default, if someone else installed the system for the blind person, and didn't use a screenreader, it should still be present but disabled by default.
That way, you could select if you wanted a screenreader, or if you just wanted to install the system using it and you don't want it for login and the account, or if you wanted to install the system for a blind person and it needs a screenreader, or for other situations.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Vratislav Podzimek 2013-10-14 11:05:47 UTC

The firstboot utility is deprecated and no longer developed in Fedora 19 and newer releases. It was replaced by the initial-setup utility with a completely different codebase. If you still have any similar problems with Fedora 19 or later, please file a new bug against initial-setup or gnome-initial-setup if you did a GNOME install.
