hmmm, what is YaST written in? qt, gtk? if it is possable to have a copy of all the rpms for your installer I could test the accessibility of the app i'm running a system that deels with rpms presently, wish it was opensuse, a note, when i need accessibility of root apps such as gparted, I run sudo -E gparted. the importent flag is -E I think it coppys enviroment settings or uses them note sure, would this info be of some use? i'm so glad you got back to me, was getting worried that this would have been abandend it's happend in the past with other things. thanks, Majid Hussain On 24/07/2018, Fabian Vogt <fvogt@suse.de> wrote:

hi there, who setts iso file size limitations?
It's at 1 GiB, a compromise between CDs and USB sticks.
brltty would be used for braille, orca for the speech along with espeak. I assumed having orca installed to the gnome live enviroment would gain speech when booted and you were to press alt plus f2 and type orca? ?
I assume so, yes.
without speech I am not able to install opensuse. or would it be possable to get your net install images talking? you would require espeakup and espeak to provide speech via the consol.
You can boot the net install (or the dvd) with "textmode=1 Y2_BRAILLE=1" to get a braille-compatible installation wizard. I'm not sure which state it is in though. No support for speech output I'm afraid.
I'm also not sure how well orca works together with YaST, especially if YaST is running as root in an otherwise regular session. I just wanted to give it a try in a live session but was actually unable to get speech-dispatcher working properly, it refused to load the espeak(-ng) module. Every button and tooltip resulted in "It seems that speech-dispatcher is working", which is a bit ironic.
If YaST works together with orca in a live session, it should be fairly easy to produce a special live media with tools for accessibility as a quick workaround. Hopefully temporary, but I don't see a solution yet. Additionally, the installed system might not have orca enabled on the first boot, that might require some additional work.
Cheers, Fabian

hi there, i'm very sorry if this is not the list to ask this, I am blind and require a screen reader to navigate around the screen. would it be possable to have gnome orca function from when the boot screen is ran?
It is unfortunately not possible right now:
Orca is only started if a gsetting key is set on the system (org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications to the value screen-reader-enabled )
Some development would be needed to: - when enabling screen reading in boot menu, add a command line to kernel, to inform the system screen reader capability should be started
I just checked - it actually adds "braille=1" to the cmdline.
- once the system is started, automatically set the gsetting key I mentioned earlier, system-wide (so it would apply to gdm and logged user), so orca would be started automatically.
That sounds like something which shouldn't be specific to the live cd, but rather get included in gnome startup scripts.
Unfortunately there's another issue: The gnome live cd does not have enough free space for orca, brltty and co. left.
Now, somebody has to pick the ball and do the work..
