hello,

Since synaptic is not a ccessible using orca, is there another way to
enable all the repositories for apt-get?

Along the same lines is there a way to enable updates since the updates
manager is also not accessible?

Synaptic is just a GUI frontend to various commandline apt programs.
Apt repositories are listed in /etc/apt/sources.list. You can just add
entries to this file using your text editor of choice. To get any
available updates, from a terminal type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

For more information, 'man apt-get'.

Yes.

gksu /etc/apt/sources.list

You can modify to whatever your requirements are.

I'm sure NoOp meant

gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
