Hi, In maverick, how do you get out of the menu on the top panel once you right arrow into it? I hit escape twice and get to the same menus, but I can't get back to the point where I can use alt and f1. 2, I don't see a orca directory in my home directory anymore. So, Storm, where do you put your custom orca file now?

I have two questions
Hi, I was thinking of downloading the latest live CD. Is speech-dispatcher now the default on the live CD? Second, I am having no luck enabling the root account in karmic. I have tried the custom gdm file, but I must be doing something wrong. I assume enabling the root account is still the best way to get the admin apps to work from the menu in karmic?

Hi, does anyone know how we are suppose to configure gdm now? Also when will speech dispatcher be part of the live cd? Thanks Mike. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
I have two questions about permissions
Hi, I want to set up a guest account on one of my computers. However, when experimenting with this I found that if you set the new user to unprivileged they can still access other drives if they have another users password. Ok, that isn't so bad because there may be times I would access the drive for them. But even when the user is unprivileged, ubuntu still lets them choose whether to remember authorization or not. This could be a problem. My questions are, is there a way to block this feature in a account? If not is there a easy way to remove the permission if a user chooses to remember the authorization? Thanks for any help, Mike. -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Hi, I notice I can not get to the top panel when using the latest live CD. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, how do you set up speech-dispatcher. I tried to add it in sessions, but get a empty command message. Mike. X-Antivirus: avast!

Hi, is there a good program that can make a ramdisk for linux. This disk doesn't have to load each time the system comes up, but it would be good it the program could guide a person through the process. Size of disk you want and so on. Also what program can tell you the CPU usage and amount of memory being used. Mike. X-Antivirus: avast!

Re: I have two questions.
Hi. The volume control is the icon just to the left of the clock on the top pannel. Orca reads it as "icon". You will have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list as root and uncomment the lInes for universe. Although you can do it in a Gnome session, it won't be easy. The best way to edit files in /etc as root is to use the text console and either speakup or brltty as your screen reader.

Hi, I asked about this before, but maybe the message didn't get out. 1, How do I change the volume in edgy. I don't find a control for this. 2, I am having a hard time trying to enable universe. The following is listed for dapper. Adding Extra Repositories X-Antivirus: avast!

Select Add To enable the Universe repository, check the Community Maintained (Universe) button. [Note] Adding this repository will mean that the majority of the Free Software universe will be available to install on your system. This software is supported by a carefully selected group of volunteers within the Ubuntu Community, but is not supported by the core Ubuntu development team and may not include security In edgy there is no software properties. I tried to edit the file, but it is read only. I tried to open the file with administration privileges in terminal and orca stopped speaking. Has anyone been able to do this in edgy.
