Hi,
I'm blind user and for interact with pc use assistive technologies such as Orca screen
reader.
A few day ago I downloaded Fedora Workstations rawhide and I tried to install on my pc,
but when I try to open procedure installation Orca don't speak.
I set also environment variables such as ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED=1, QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 and
QT_LINUX_ACCESSIBILITY_ALWAYS_ON=1 but result is same.
This problem is very important especially for next releases of Fedora.
I hope that it's solved.
Thanks for attention
Gigi

New subject: New version of Anaconda don't work with Orca screen reader on Workstation
Hello!
There is currently a rather unusual situation with the Fedora
Workstation installer, which uses a new UI based on web technologies
that is still in development. But stable versions (this means Fedora 39
and Fedora 40) are still be using the classic GTK based interface for
now.
It is possible that some of the issues you are seeing are due to the
change to the Web UI. Likely not because it would not support
accessibility features as we use Firefox for the Web View and
PatternFly for the widgets - both should have robust accessibility
support. Rather it is more likely we configured something incorrectly
when we did the switch to the Web UI.
In any case, thanks for the heads up! We will look into this & in the
meantime I suggest using the Fedora 39 or Fedora 40 images for
installation, as those should still have the "old" GUI and therefore
working accessibility.
Best Wishes

New subject: New version of Anaconda don't work with Orca screen reader on Workstation
Hi,
I think the issue is that browser for Anaconda is still running as root.
See this comment

Best Regards,
Jirka
