The Ubuntu beta doesn't work for me
Hi all, I tried the Ubuntu beta Live CD yesterday on my Asus A6Rp AP050. It doesn't work: - I cannot switch to console for starting brltty (I don't have USB one). - The Alt+F2 doesn't work. I think that nothing works at all. Too bad I haven't some experienced person who would tell me what is happening precisely. - It seems that only thing I can do is to restart it and instead of restarting it freezes :-D. - I tried acpi=off of course. (I must do it for Ubuntu and in general any kernel to boot) Note that I have the 7.04 working so something in beta is broken. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Orca on the live CD of September 29
On the live cd I'm guessing there's no password so I guess you do the same stuff but without the password?

Re: Orca on the live CD of September 29
Almost certainly a password was set up for the user account and that's what will need to be used with sudo to run some of that stuff. When a ubuntu install happens if a root password isn't set and root isn't enabled then a user password will be needed or the system is as insecure as dos.
