Re: a question about the live cd
Hi Mike I'm not even sure it's asking for username/password, because as soon as I hear the login sound on these new live cd builds my keyboard locks and X won't take any input from it. I noticed this started with the Live CD builds from 12/22, the 12/21 build worked just fine at least for amd64. For now, I get lucid installed by installing Karmic and doing an upgrade. It's a bit of a pain since the Karmic live cd's speech-dispatcher crashes a lot, and the upgrade itself involves a few steps because of different packages and a conflict, but it can be done and you will get lucid installed that way eventually.

Re: a question about the live cd
I'd venture a guess that you still would want the accessibility install in order to enable Orca during installation, and to enable it by default when booting Ubuntu. I would guess that pulseaudio will be enabled in Lucid either way. With a Vinux/Lucid install, speech would be enabled regardless, with pulseaudio, but ideally you'd get options for whether or not to boot into Gnome, or go with raw speakup in a command line interface. In an ideal world, Ubuntu would incorporate many of the accessibility improvements found in Vinux when you select the accessibility install, and Vinux/Ubuntu as a seperate ISO would go away (Vinux would still be needed for other distros). That would include critical accessibility programs like speakup, the Vinux key bindings, Stormdragon's cool Orca utils, emacspeak in the DVD version, etc. Ideally, the background would be black, fonts would be 18-ish points, and we'd even have an audio-book creator app that talks to bookshare.org. Sounds pretty pie-in-the-sky-ish to me, but is there any chance us Vinux guys could get seriously involved with what happens in an Ubuntu accessibility install? I'm confident there'd be a lot of interest from the blind/VI community, and there are a bunch of us who are big geeks, with a personal stake in the game.

Re: a question about the live cd
Hi Mike, Looks like speech-dispatcher has some issues starting up on LiveCD. Filed a bug, hope Luke would address this issue soon. https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/speech-dispatcher/+bug/428293 Cheers --arky Rakesh 'arky' Ambati| IT Consultant| http://www.braillewithoutborders.org | Blog: http://playingwithsid.blogspot.com --- On Sun, 13/9/09, mike kb8...@verizon.net wrote: From: mike kb8...@verizon.net Subject: a question about the live cd To: ubuntu ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com Date: Sunday, 13 September, 2009, 1:38 AM Hi, has anyone had luck getting orca to speak on the latest live cd. It seems like everything is loading, but there is no sound when using the f5 and 3 keys at boot time. Just booting the cd does give sound when it is booted, but you can't start orca.

My question is, does this reboot the computer to the CD? Or does it reboot into windows and install ubuntu from there. it doesn't reboot into anything. Its an installer that allows you to start installing Ubuntu from Windows, and then reboots into ubuntu to complete the process. Note that using this method doesn't do anything to your partitions, but creates a file on your windows parttion for Linux to be installed into. at this point, I am not aware of how accessible it is, but I certainly hope we can get it as accessible as possible for the Hardy release. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHLm7DjVefwtBjIM4RAhkUAKCA9AB8qsIfdUudw0uTEXCl0QpzXgCfQcZv fWxM1lJ2pLv/1bGnNT2Lzn0= =XTE5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
