hi all!
in regardds to your comment chris i didn't know how to do an 
accessible upgrade from one version of ubuntu to another via 
network manager.
i am not sure if i still do because i get to a point where orca 
gets garbled but despite the garbled speech and having to force 
pcs to shutdown with the power switch after the drive has stopped 
churning around, upgrade does seem to work.
i just have to be confident that an on-line upgrade has taken.
i know some people i have spoken to who are blind on some of the 
linux accessibility lists do a fresh install of ubuntu when a new 
version is out.

i have found that when in update-manager, if i do a check for 
upgrades with the button, maybe have typed a password or closed 
the window and had access to the screen where i enter my 
password, i can then see all the stuff that is difficult to see 
because of the sudo problem ie the settings dialogue in the 
up-date manager so then i can check what my upgrades are set to 
in that particular dialogue box.
as long as i have entered my password to get via the sudo bug i 
can then see the bits i have problems accessing as a totally 
blind user.
