Using Accessibility in Solaris 10

Hello,
I've installed Solaris 10 03/05 and am attempting to use the included Accessibility (explicitly the gnopernicus screen reader with Gnome). I have followed the instructions in the Java Desktop System Release 3 Accessibility Guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7307) RE: changing the GDM greeter, sym linking the two jar files (enabling accessibility), defining a line in AccessKeyMouseEvents to run srcore when pressing CTRL-s, but there's still something I'm missing, as pressing CTRL-s at the login screen, or once logged in, produces nothing.
I've also tried logging in, and as I can not use X at all, login in a second time via SSH, setting my DISPLAY variable, and running srcore and (for something to try) gnopernicus manually from the SSH window - I get messages in the SSH window about speech access initialization succeeding, but no speech.
My sound card is detected by Solaris (no 3rd party drivers required) and I can play audio with audioplay. I've looked in logs (syslog, xorg) but found nothing that appears to be related to this issue.
I'm wondering whether anyone here has more experience with this than I (undoubtedly) and has a suggestion?
Some things I've thought to try, but have not yet found enough info about, include:
1. Perhaps sound needs to be turned on in Gnome first - can this be done without using the GUI? I've read about the sound-properties application but it requires use of X.
2. Perhaps FreeTTS (or what default synthesizer is gnopernicus wanting to use?) is not installed? I installed the full Solaris 10 distribution and the companion CD.
Thanks very much for your time and patience - it'd be great to try the accessible desktop out, I've gotten this to work under Linux a while back, but it's nice that Sun is bundling it with the OS.

Hi Peter - thanks for your reply.
I had already tried including the full path to srcore in AccessKeyMouseEvents (apologies for not mentioning this before) and still no luck.
I've just now re-verified that I made the correct changes as outlined in the JDS3 accessibility guide. My AccessKeyMouseEvents line is:
<Control>s 1 1000 1000 /usr/sfw/bin/srcore login disable-magnifier enable-speech enable-braille
(it is all on one line)
Any other suggestions?
Is there a way I can determine (via a non graphical method) whether the proper modules are being loaded by gdm?
Thanks,
Ivan Fetch.

  • Problem to connect to mdb using java on solaris 10

    hello I'm trying to connect to my mdb using the code below
    String database = "/export/home/test.mdb"; String url = "jdbc:odbc:DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)};DBQ="+ database+ ";DriverID=22;READONLY=false"; try           { Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"); conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url);           }           catch (Exception e)           { System.out.println(e.getMessage());           }           finally           {               if (conn != null)               {                   try                   {                       conn.close ();                   }                   catch (Exception e) { /* ignore close errors */ }               }           }
    the javac returns no errors, but when I'm trying to run the program "null" is printed ( I think that is the e.getMessage). I supose that conn is null and I don't know why. I'm sure that test.mdb exists and it is located to /export/home. I think the problem is that I haven't install an odbc driver on solaris for mdb I don't know where to find it (if anyone can give me a link !!!), but I'm not so sure if this is the problem.
    help me please
    thanks in advance.

    Joe, I know that you are a skeptic, and need proof for everything said. I heard about the demise of Access, or more correctly the database most frequently associated with the Access front end, JET, several years ago from a Microsoft employee. Yet it is still here.
    There is plenty of documentation online about this. Here's just one example: http://www.answers.com/topic/microsoft-jet-database-engine?cat=technology. MS themselves are rather less clear.
    That link would suggest that MS Access 2007 is not in fact SQL Server.
    MS has been trying for at least 5 years to wean its users off Access-JET and onto one flavour or another of SQL/Server. I'm a Microsoft Partner and see their marketing on a regular basis. Access is rarely mentioned and SQL Server is a hot topic. Note that most MS/Office applications, such as Outlook now use SQL/Server.Ok.
    However marketing is different than technology. In terms of that I can only note that I don't see Bob on my desktop.
    And Office 2007 is still using Access (which apparently is not SQL Server according to what you posted.)
    Conversely, for example, Microsoft has specifically announced that FoxPro will no longer be supported.
    Thus I am still looking for something that would suggest that either it is SQL Server right now (2007) or that it shortly will be - like perhaps the beta for the next version is.
    And I can only note that some of the stuff that Access does would be difficult to seamlessly do via SQL Server. The article that you posted suggests that upgrades from MS Access exist but that those can lose functionality that will require manual work to replace. Thus if MS did decide to replace Access in Office with SQL Server they would need to come up with a solution for that or risk people not upgrading.
    I am not claiming that this can't happen but rather that I question whether it is relevant to suggest that it anything of concern in the near future (especially for an app that is targeting it anyways.)

  • WRT54G2 and WRT54G locks-up (freezes) when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions

    I am convinced that a few Linksys routers such as WRT54G2 and WRT54G have a major issue when blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy). After a few hours of internet access by 15 wired users the Linksys locks-up and blocks all internet web access. The only solution is to restart the power on the router.
    We are currently using a Linksys WRT54G2 v1 (firmware 1.0.04). We upgraded the WRT54G2 v1 firmware to the latest 1.0.04 version which did not resolve the issue.  NOTE: We were previosuly using a a Linksys WRT54G v1.1 (firmware 4.21.1) until the power supply blew a week after we started blocking web sites using Access Restrictions (Internet Access Policy).  
    Basically, we have a T1 internet connection and a hub connected to the Linksys router. We are trying to block several web sites such as facebook, myspace, etc. for 15 wired users. We do not use wireless connections.
    This is the 2nd time it happened with 2 different models.
    Please help ASAP.
    Thank you,
    Lance
    (Mod note: Edited post. Some parts off topic.. Thanks!)

    Also,  you have already upgrade/re-flash the firmware of your Linksys Router you need to reset and reconfigure your router from scratch. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...

  • CRM_MKTPL_CAMPTYPE data element use access error in z-table

    Hi Friends,
    I am using CRM_MKTPL_CAMPTYPE data element in my z-table for one z-field. While activating the z-table I am getting the folowing error.
    The Object Table Zxxx uses Data element CRM_MKTPL_CAMPTYPE, Package Zxxx does not have sufficient use access.
    Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Vishal,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    I added "SAI_TOOLS" in Package Interface Tab but I am getting the following error "Package interface SAI_TOOLS available already".
    I was tried with other option adding SAI_TOOLS in Use access Tab from the previous posts. But it didn't wok for my case. I think we need to add similar kind of Package Interface which is related to CRM Campaign.
    If any one face this kind of issue please respond to this post.
    Thanks.

  • Problems using access control in sender agreement for SOAP adapter 7.1

    I am trying to use Access Control Lists to restrict user access to web services/interfaces which are exposed via PI. This can be configured via the Integration Builder Directory using the u201CAssigned Usersu201D tab of both Communication Components (Business System) and Sender Agreements.
    The configuration is via the above mentioned components. However, I understand that itu2019s the adapters which at runtime are responsible for actually applying these checks.
    I have been having problems getting the access control to work using a setup involving a SOAP adapter of type SAP BASIS 7.10.
    The symptom of the problem is that although the access control works as expected at the Business System level, any settings at the Sender Agreement level appear to have absolutely no effect whatsoever.
    I have confirmed that I have no problems if I use an adapter of type SAP BASIS 7.00. However, I really need to get this working on 7.1.
    I have looked on the SAP support portal but can not find any notes that relate to this.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem? And have you found a fix for it?
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

  • Using access keys in inactive frames

    We are trying to make an existing website DDA compliant and want to use access keys to assist the keyboard-only user to navigate without a mouse. The site uses frames; we cannot change that as some 6000 pages are involved.
    We have implmented access keys in one of the 3 frames. This works fine in Internet Explorer and Firefox regardless of which frame you are on. However Safari does not see the access keys unless you are actually on the active frame. The thing is that we want to use the acess keys to navigate between frames.
    Is there anyway that we can get Safari to behave the same as IE and FF?

    For 1: you can try and access the af:query component and call getChildren() to see if you can get a hold of inner components (e.g. buttons). By default, the access key for the advanced mode button is not exposed.
    For 2) Same as for 1. This is not exposed and all you can do is to check if getChildren issued on the RichPanelCollection component reference allows you to access the command button and then set the access key to it
    Meanwhile I'll file an ER to make access keys generally accessible for change (which however may take time before this gets implemented)

  • Is there a time limit for how long a free form can be used/accessed?

    Is there a time limit for how long a free form that is created can be used/accessed, or is it soely dependent upon when the 50 respondent max has been reached?  I am creating a form now, that will likely be distributed in early January, and I want it to be accessible through the end of June, 2013.  (I am simply using the option to create a single form for free- not the 30-day trial). 

    There is no time limit. The limit is the 50 responses.

  • Issue in OIM 11gR2Ps2 while provisioning using access policies

    Hi,
    we  are provisioning resources using access policies, we  are facing any issue while provisioning resource using two access policies. we are populating the main process form data using two access policies, according to  the access policy priority we are seeing the first access policy form data value in the user process form, but the second access policy value is not showing in the user process form, for example we are populating processform  fieldvalue1 using access policy1 and processform fieldvalue2 using access policy2.
    Thank you,

    Hi,
    we are facing issue in the following scenario
    we are provisioning a resource based on the user position through access policies, for example  a user  position "contractor" is satisfies two rules based on the rules he will get two roles, these two roles trigger two access policies, and two access policies giving same resource for example "AD", in AD main  process form there two lookups(lookup A,lookup B), we are giving looukp A value in acess policy1 and lookup B value in access ploicy2, when ever user gets AD resource through these roles, after provisioning when we see the user process form only lookup A value is there and lookup B is empty.But i want to get both lookup A,lookup B values, what i observed was based on the  priority access policy values are comming to user resource form, the next access policy form values are not reflecting the user process form.
    Thanks,

  • Extreme mouse cursor lag when using Accessibility Zoom (Fullscreen) in Yosemite

    I have a Retina MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite (10.10), clean installed, connected to an external Thunderbolt Display. When I zoom in using Accessibility, I experience a very prominent lag, moving my mouse cursor (either with my Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or the built-in Trackpad) around or when zooming out. It is especially visible when zoomed in on applications like Calendar and Mail. This never happened in Mavericks. My settings are as follows.
    I've tried creating a new user account on my Mac and the problem still persists, which leads me to believe it's a bug with Yosemite.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    I also have the same exact problem. I have a i5 iMac Mid 2011 with an upgrade to 10.10 Yosemite connected to an external display. I like you never had this issue with Mavericks. Zoom is so painfully slow now that I had to disable it. My iMac has 12 GB of RAM and even with no apps opened, zoom is killer slow.. makes me want to punch a wall-kinda slow.
    I think it's clear to say that something is up with 10.10.. some bug.
    Apple please fix us zoomers

  • How to use access database

    is it possible to use access database in visual basic 2012

    Hello,
    There are two main methods for working with MS-Access databases in Visual Studio with VB.NET. One method you go through several steps which the IDE data wizard creates strong typed classes and assist with binding fields in the database table to controls
    such as a DataGridView, ListBox, TextBoxes etc. The second method you actually write all the code which can go in two different directions.
    Which one to pick is dependent on your expertise in general with VB.NET. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
    The following shows the beginnings of working with data wizards in the IDE while
    this page is an index for the link just provided with a mixture of examples.
    If open to suggestion and dependent on your needs please consider looking at using SQL-Server since there is an Express version of SQL-Server installed with Visual Studio. SQL-Server is overall and better choice but does not mean it's best for you at this
    time but worth considering.

  • How to use rsync on Solaris 10

    I have set up rsync to run as a daemon on 2 Solaris 10 servers
    rsync --daemon

    Any ideas as to how to use rsync on Solaris 10

    When given a file source lie l3:/usr/ptraq/man with one colon (:) ssh attempts to connect using ssh.
    If you want to connect to the rsync daemon, you need to give 2 colons l3::/usr/ptraq/man.
    Your other alternative is to setup ssh keys so you can log in without a password and then you won't have to run rsync in daemon mode at all.
