List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 01:37:40 -0000 Igor, I have been successful in getting kali to work on a virtual machine. The pr= oblem is that accessibility is not enabled by default. In fact, I am not sure that Speakup is built into kali. I tried to get the = kali developers to build it in but I think it got dropped somewhere along t= he way. If I remember right, the system brings you to a gnome desktop and if you pr= ess alt+f2 to open the run dialog then type orca orca should start t= alking. The only caveat to this is that if you installed it with another user, then= you have to login first. If you have a Braille display, you could press c= trl+alt+f1-6 and open a console window, enter root as the user and whatever= the root password is then type brltty to launch brltty. After that you jus= t need to adjust the /etc/default/brltty file so brltty starts automaticall= y. It has been a while since I used kali (maybe 4 or 5 months and I have been = working on my own customized version. If I can ever get my custom iso to wo= rk, it will be accessible either installed or as a live boot image, but lif= e has gotten in the way recently :-) If you have any other questions about kali, I am happy to help.
