installing hardy from live
how do you install hardy with orca after running the live cd? i ask because at the moment i have got a hardy cd which i burned before experienceing problems with my laptop and i have a copy of lucid beta which will not allow me to login after going through the setup because it says "welcome to orca" just after asking me if i wish to logout after running through the settup. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: upgrade preperations
If you have an LTS to LTS upgrade actually work, please report back and let us know. I have been adminning about 150 Ubuntu boxen at work here for 3 years and have never had an LTS to LTS upgrade go smoothly. If you read the docs for Lucid Beta 1 it seems to imply, if you read between the lines, that such an upgrade would only work for servers but not for anything with a GUI. I think your best bet would be to make a back up of your root partition so that it is recent and then do a fresh install, recovering anything from your fresh back up of your root partition that you might need. I personally tend to install a lot of customized programs locally and so my partition scheme includes 4 partitions if you include swap, the others being / and /usr/local and /home That way, I only blow away / when doing an upgrade and my locally installed programs don't get bothered.

What will be happen Firefox accessibility problems with Ubuntu Lucid?
Dear List, This letter I already sent with Vinux mailing list, but I would like ask your hints: Unfortunately, Firefox 3.6 version containing some possible important accessibility related bugs, with now yet not full fixed: For example: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608149 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609890 Of course this is absolute not Joanmarie mistake. For example, because the second bug is present, the headings list extension is not working correct, see my last comment the second bugreport, we found what the last date version when this extension is working right. I don't no Mozilla Developers when fixing this second bug. Another very disturb issue is following with Firefox 3.6: When I launch Firefox with normal way or a shortcut, impossible to navigate a webpage the arrow keys before I press a Tab key or F5 key, possible the webpage caret is not focused? Another problematic issue is Firefox running with sudo command. When I do this with Firefox 3.6, Firefox is inaccessible with Orca Screen Reader. I don't no what the best strategy with this situation, this is a complex and difficult problem. We downgrade Firefox with 3.5.8 Karmic release after Lucid install? For example, this version is working absolute right? Yesterday I try play this with my PPA, the result is relative good, but unfortunately for example new Firefox PPA package does'nt containing 3.5.8 hungarian translations, I don't no what package generating this translation files. But, Firefox working absolute right with Orca. :-):-) For example, in Lucid have firefox-3.5 package, but ofcourse depending following Firefox version: firefox-3.5 | 3.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu6 | lucid/universe | all So, I think normal simple way now impossible to toggle back Firefox 3.5 version. Of course, possible install Firefox 3.5.8 version with ubuntuzilla package (not present with Ubuntu repository), but this is difficulting later maintenance when Mozilla developers later fixing this bugs, and if I known right, Ubuntuzilla does'nt install 64 bit version with a 64 bit system. Ubuntu developers what can possible handle this situation? Possible do an official maintenanced method to users possible switch back Firefox 3.5.8 version if want?
