prevent ubuntu 18.04 login screen from saying my key strokes back to me

enter image description hereI'm sure there's an answer to this somewhere but I don't know the right key words to search for it.



At the login screen when I type my user name, for some inexplicable reason
ubuntu has decided that it's a good idea to repeat back to me at full volume the letters that I'm typing. and then when I type my password, it says blah blah blah blah at full volume. I can of course mute the sound by moving the sound slider, but (a) this kills sound for other applications and (b) when I turn sound back on and then reboot, there it is, talking to me at full volume, which means I can't use my computer in a meeting. Is there some way to disable forever this most absurd of all 18.04 features? Thanks very much!



In response to a response by @S_flash, I'm uploaded a screenshot of my Universal Access settings: everything is switched off

  • The default in Ubuntu is not to say the characters of the login password. I think you have installed something or tweaked some setting to make it happen. Can you remember what you did or what happened before it started (to say the characters of the login password)?

  • I turned on 'screen reader' and it worked, when logged in, but was silent when at the login screen. So it should be something else.

  • Thanks @sudodus, The speech happens intermittently, typically but not exclusively immediately after I log in. I don't know what on earth I did. After googling around for screen reader I purged orca. since that appears to be the program that is talking to me, it should in principle fix the problem. We'll see.

flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

Image
0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So...
