I'm looking forward for 7.3, I hope that Orca will work with Firefox too.

Iceweasel 26 is functionally the same as Firefox 26. Its just 'de-branded' by Debian purists.

Yes, I know, my question was if Firefox/Iceweasel 26 will work with at-spi2 for accessibility and also if Adriane will show back the Graphic mode > Firefox menu. If somebody has access to 7.3 I would really appreciate the input.

Thank you,
Rares

I too would be interested in knowing whether the default version of Orca/At-spi in 7.3 works with Firefox/Iceweasel. Having to source an older version of these from Debian Squeeze has been my biggest disappointment in 7.2 since it prevents me from booting from CD and quickly having a working web browser whenever my experimentation borks my harddrive install(and I don't know enough about re-mastering to compile my customizations into a CD-rom and most of the tools for simplifying re-mastering seem catered to the sighted).

Greetings, Jeffery & rbenea.

I forwarded rbenea's post to Klaus K earlier and got no reply.
I expect Klaus may be quite busy with CeBIT this week.
I know he would be very interested in your concerns if he were aware.

You might try posting your concerns directly to the debian-knoppix
mailing list which he is more likely to monitor than this forum:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-knoppix/2014/03/
However, he's not been very active there recently.

A new community edition of Knoppix often follows CeBIT by a month or
two. The new Adriane edition will be 1.7, but I don't know if this
contains the changes you are asking about. I do know there is one
upgrade of Adriane from 1.5 to 1.6 available via Synaptic.

Another way to get some updates is to look at
http://debian-knoppix.alioth.debian.org/, especially within the folder '/packages' (and sort by "last modified").

Dear Utu, Werner,

Thank you very much for your kind replies. My biggest problem is that It's hard to come by a paper copy of Linux Magazine + DVD in my city. I already alerted 2 friends from Germany to try and buy it for me. I just need a yes/no answer and I hope somebody that has an 'inside' access to the ISO or bought the magazine could give me an answer. If the answer is no, I plan to make a remastered version of Knoppix/Adriane with a downgrade to atspi(1).

Thank you,
Rares

Hi all,

I come back with the answer. With the help of one friend from Germany I manage to come in possession of the DVD with the new Knoppix.

Unfortunately the situation is the same like in 7.2, Iceweasel is not working with Orca and also Adriane has only the Open office and Full graphic mode menus :(

Let's hope for more in the future.

Rares
