Dear users,
Yes, The restart keyboard short cut for restarting Gnome has been
removed also from Ubuntu Jaunty. But please, keep in mynd, that You are
allowed to use CTRL+ALT+F1 to activate console while Gnome is being used,
You can type Your user name and password, then You will be able to use
special command for manipulating with Gnome, including exit of this desktop
environment. Please, try to study documentation for command gnome-session.
You are even able to install yasr while You will be used console for those
commands for exitting Gnome, You will have a Feetback.
I occurred software problems while restart of Xserver has been presented in
Ubuntu intrepid and in older releases of Ubuntu. The less dangerous effect
has, that every next restart of Gnome caused higher temperature of my
motherboard and that sped of CPU fan has increased.
There were even problems with Orca.
For now, i do not know about better Linux distro, which is being so good
supported by The core developers to be usable by visually impaired
community. Kernel has been specially optimized to reduce The CPU fan speed
while running Ubuntu Jaunty, even special complex programmers modiffications
has been made to whole Ubuntu architecture. Pulse Audio audio server is not
more used while installing from A boot menu with accessibility features
enabled.
The sound preferences function is really switching correctly between various
audio servers, such as between Alsa and OSS.
Espeak is now reallay using The correspondent Audio server according to The
server, which has been chosen from The preferences menu.
Debian leny Gnome-live CD from january of this year can not offer You
installation of this CD to A hard drive, user must install Orca manually,
The problems with root applications are also presented.
The update manager and Gnome menu in general is being very simple in Ubuntu
Jaunty and in other Ubuntu distro.
Do not forget, that core developers of Ubuntu are constantly monitoring, if
A new version of At-spi is awailable and if The significant changes has been
made to At-spi infrastructure, users can use automatic updates feature.
Core developers of Ubuntu are doing their bbest to bring users The latest
changes related to various audio servers, including alsa, OSS, Pulse audio.
Ubuntu Jaunty is even able to automatically install support for A
corresponding language for braille devices, this has never been possible in
The previous versions, and other LInux distros are not using this technique.
The random crashes of Espeak are reallly gone forever, even while using live
CD, so You can safely use Gnome partition editor for manipulating with The
disk partitions.
Many device drivers are included, including various models of scanners and
multifunctioning devices, this is even possible in A .iso image of
Gnome-live CD.
Ubuntu can be safely and stably installed, without random crashes of Espeak
while installing.
Ubuntu can be installed while using braille support even in The live mode,
if sound cart has not been correctly autodetected during booting up.
Ubuntu is including safety warnings related to The most modern Lion
batteries in laptop, system will be turned of if a minimum safe stored power
in The battery is awailable.
Safety warnings are also included in The power manager, if YOur Lion battery
is too excharget, this can prevent from The fire on YOur flet.
So, really, everybody upgrade to Ubuntu Jaunty. Next future updates of
included packages can be installed automatically.
Scim devices can be configured.
So, I Am wisching You much positive experiences while using Ubuntu Jaunty,
and advanced users are welcomed during testing of Ubuntu Kalmic. But please
be aware, that even complex changes can be made to vmlinus and other kernel
related modules, so do not store important data to The experimental
installation of this distro, which is being developed.
