lucid very promising
after reading the latest posts about running ubuntu lucid with speech, i now have the beta installed on my laptop. it seems very promising with the login screen seeming to be more accessible and although i got a crash in it, it appears the ubuntu software centre also seems to work better with speech. however i have not been able to as yet access the wifi icon for networks so i am having to run my laptop off the ethanet cable for my bt router. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
ubuntu lucid
i have had a bit more of a look at the software centre in lucid and it just appears to say image so it may still be inaccessible when choosing software. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: ubuntu lucid
Hi, I know this isn't really a solution to the problem, but in my brief use of Karmic, I just used apt-get from a terminal to get apps or remove them. Still, that doesn't fix the not accessible software Center. At least Add/Remove worked Alex On 4/11/10, michael weaver weavermi...@googlemail.com wrote: i have had a bit more of a look at the software centre in lucid and it just appears to say image so it may still be inaccessible when choosing software. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Dear All
Is there an accessibility team on launchpad? How do you generally coordinate work and track accessibility-related bugs and feature requests?

I just joined both the launchpad team and this mailing list. The references I have found on the wiki[1] appear to need to be updated, however, there may be some valid information. The launchpad team[2] does exist and does use launchpad to track bugs[3], with a couple of bugs in need of some help. I will be looking the bugs today or tomorrow.

Wifi Does appear to be now working in Lucid. After downloading the updates for Beta 2 I managed to locate my Wireless network icon so was able to enter my key for my wireless router. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Booting Asus EEEPC 111 HA from USB
Hello List! I Just acquired the subject netbook; it is equipped with Win XP home. In the Ubuntu community docs, it is suggested that hitting the escape key, during power-on, will bring up the list of bootable devices, from which I should be able to choose the USB stick. This does not happen. The machine boots immediately into Win. I've also tried using f2 to enter setup. My sighted helper has looked in the user manual for this machine, and can find nothing about how to get into bios setup. Thanks for anyy help!

Re: Booting Asus EEEPC 111 HA from USB
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Dave You need to be quick, very quick, to get the USB boot menu. Begin hitting esc directly after you hit the power key, even before the disks start spinning. This is necessary to get past the quickboot feature which, if enabled as it is by default, skips much of the boot sequence and boots directly onto the hd. On some netbooks, such as the 1005PE that I have, it may take you several tries to hit it fast enough. That quickboot feature is very quick indeed on some models. Once in the boot menu, USB is the second choice so hitting down arrow once should get you there. Note. If you want to leave the quickboot feature enabled for use with Ubuntu, leave the EFI partition (Ubuntu installer sometimes says it's unknown) at the end of the disk in place. This is where the information for quickboot is stored. Otherwise, erase the partition and quickboot won't bother you again. Personally, I like quickboot as it does shave five seconds or so off of the boot process. However, if you upgrade the memory or otherwise change your netbook's internal configuration in any way, you'll need to erase and remake the quickboot partition so the new information can be stored there. hth On 04/12/2010 12:05 AM, Dave Hunt wrote: Hello List!
