Re: installing ubuntu with windows
Hi, I think that you have some alternatives: * Use the Ubuntu LiveCD partition editor to resize the windows partition. * Use VirtualBox (a virtual machine, so you can install many operating systems over windows as you want) * Or try Wubuntu. I only read about it, but don't know how it's works, but AFAICT, this does what you want. Best regards, Carlos. 2008/1/11, mike coulombe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, here is my situation.

Re: Are there any D-Bus based accessibility packages availabe on Ubuntu? Or any planning for this? -
Hi, I don't know about the KDE desktop, but the GNOME desktop is planning port AT-SPI (Assistive Technologies - Service Provider Information) to D-BUS. This is the heart of accessibility in GNOME. These days a thread started on gnome-accessibility-devel about the design of DBUS ATSPI: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-accessibility-devel/2008-January/msg1.html Best regards, Carlos. 2008/1/8, Yang, Lei A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Thanks, > Lei Yang > > > -- > 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
Re: possible bug with orca
Hi Mike, I think that you will get better support and will find Orca developers more easily reporting these problem directly in the Orca mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Best regards, Carlos. 2007/9/17, mike coulombe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, I got orca to work with several admin apps in the root account.

Re: networking
I don´t understand... how are you accessing the ubuntu machine from window? If it´s throw ssh, you need to install the ssh-server package.

Re: Advice for newcomer please? (thanks)

I do not think the screen magnifier worked for me on my desktop machine, but it works well on the laptop, which is great for a good demonstration this morning. If things get taken up today I will need to find out a bit more about what the screen magnifier needs. Why do you think that the magnifier isn't working on your desktop? Could you share the problem with me. Thanks, Carlos. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: Advice for newcomer please?
Have you tried Ubuntu? It's come with GNOME, that has better accessibility support. Best regards, Carlos. 2007/7/24, alan c <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I do not usually use any special accessibility features, and have a few hours to familiarise with what is offered in Kubuntu. The reason is that I have a meeting tomorrow morning with a small local organisation here who are soon to set up a few PCs for people with learning difficulties. Their obvious direction will be for ms stuff, but I would like to offer as much an alternative as I can, regardless. I have had a look at the facilities listed in Kubuntu 7.04 I recognise sticky keys I think, but not any of the others I think. Is there any quick guide for new helpers such as myself, or can anyonme offer a feww initial hints, with a demonstration oin mind maybe? A subset of facilities would be fine. tia -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- 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
Re: gnome-mag cursor focus position
Hi Aurelian, Send a message to the Orca mailing list: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list This is certainly the best place for you question. You can also find a lot of informations about Orca configuration in http://live.gnome.org/Orca, although I don't find anything related with the option you want at a first glance. Best regards, Carlos. 2007/7/10, Aurelian Radu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi Peter, Thank you for your answer. I was referring to the cursor in applications where you enter text. The mouse pointer is indeed centered when using the magnifier alone or through orca. But I need to use orca if I want gnome-mag to follow text editing or keyboard focus. The cursor is not centered, the magnifier follows it only when it reaches the end of the magnification screen. I know my "description" isn't very clear, but try to write something in oowriter or gedit while using gnome-mag through orca and you'll see what I mean.
