Re: I have a real show stopper here
Hi, what version of ubuntu?
I think that in ubuntu 13.10, the shortcut to start orca is somethin
like super+s, super+ctrl+s or super+alt+s, I am not sure exactly the
correct combination.

Hello everyone.
I have a real show stopper here. I can't seem to get orca to start up from the
installer dvd. I tried control-s right at boot and nothing. the documentation
doesn't seem to suggest any other way to do this.
is there another way?
I really would like to have an operational linux machine here.
I have tried Vinux, but there isn't a lot of available software other than a
few paltry apps and the gnome desktop.
I need this working.
HELP!

Re: I have a real show stopper here
it is ctrl+S after the sound of the drums. If you don't hear the drums then it is possible that there is an issue with your audio and orca has cheerfully started and is silently talking. The installer is basically broken at the moment because there are 7 progress bars at the bottom of the screen which are visually very very short because they are being used to be coloured dots. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1154345 I will poke some people about that bug, low seems a bit inappropriate given how unuseable it makes the installer Alan.

Re: I have a real show stopper here
All software that can be installed on Ubuntu can be installed on Vinux. The softwarecenter is accessible, or easier for many of us is using apt-get to install from the command line, i.e. sudo apt-get install vnstat mutt pcmanfm just to give a few suggestions of programs I always put on any Linux system, OK, if it's cli-only I won't have pcmanfm, but anyway... Write me off list if you need suggestions for programs for a given task. You may also wish to join the Vinux list for more suggestions. -- B.

Re: I have a real show stopper here
What do you mean when you say vinux only has a few poultry applications? If you mean at install time, the DVD version will have more applications installed than the CD version. Otherwise, you can use the Software Center to pretty much install anything you want, the same applications you can install on Ubuntu in fact. Remember too that Vinux uses Unity, so if you're just looking at the Launcher, you're only seeing a dozen of the most commonly used applications on your system. You can use the Dash to get to the other applications installed on your system and even install more applications. Use alt+f2 to bring up the Dash. The vinux wiki has articles on how to use the Dash and get around the Unity desktop in general. On 10/01/2013 09:03 AM, eric oyen wrote: Hello everyone. I have a real show stopper here.

Re: I have a real show stopper here
What apt.sources file are you talking about? The /etc/apt/sources.list file as well as the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory contain everything Ubuntu contains plus a few Vinux specific repositories. The Software Center doesn't segfault on my Vinux 4 systems.

The exception is some server stuff that will still be supported in vinux3.0.x. Some repos that have server related packages may still be active on vinux3.0.x, but for for full supprt you need Vinux \4.0 that is based on precise with upgraded packages in some cases and a 3.5 kernel. Much newer Orca and accessibility stack is coming. On Tue, Oct 01, 2013 at 08:32:13AM -0700, eric oyen wrote: well, given my experience of late, there needs to be a few changes. The default install of vinux doesn't appear to have much in the apt.sources file. also, I tried to enter some sources in the software center dialog only to have it freeze me out before I could press OK (segfaulted). I may be a version or 2 behind on that distribution as well. anyway, I wanted to try Ubuntu for other reasons. -eric On Oct 1, 2013, at 8:08 AM, Burt Henry wrote: All software that can be installed on Ubuntu can be installed on Vinux.
