Hello Adam,

The bug that was opened and closed was about Orca actually not talking at all once Fedora rawhide or 34 was installed.

Yes, until a fix is put on Anaconda, the installer won’t talk, unless the gnome environment is switched to Gnome on xorg, then, it’ll talk as expected.

A workaround is to install the Mate respin, on which the installer works beautifully.

Best regards.

Francisco

Hi folks! Sending to test@ and desktop@, and CCing two folks who

reported problems.

So I finally got some time today to look into the reports of screen

reader functionality not working well in F34, with GNOME 40 and

Pipewire. I wrote the latest F34 nightly live to a USB stick, booted it

on my test laptop, and turned on the screen reader. It initially seems

to work - it reads out some of the contents of the welcome window, and

it reads out things in the GNOME environment when I click on them.

However, after I launch the installer it does not seem to read anything

in the installer. Is that normal/expected?

I do see that a bug was opened:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1940311

and closed as 'fixed' by pipewire 0.3.24:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2021-2c994d0609

but I'm not sure if that's the whole story.

I haven't tested how it behaves after install yet, I'll try and do that

tomorrow.
