Re: orca on the live cd
Hi, I tested Live CD from October 10 with following results: Atleast on my notebook, there is, I suppose, collision between sound playing and Orca speech. Ubuntu on my laptop works, but with these problems: - It is certainly impossible to do eg. installation simply by clicking on the install icon. - When Orca is speaking and some other app tries to play some sound Orca crashes,.

Re: Orca on the live CD of September 29
On the live cd I'm guessing there's no password so I guess you do the same stuff but without the password?

Re: Orca on the live CD of September 29
Almost certainly a password was set up for the user account and that's what will need to be used with sudo to run some of that stuff. When a ubuntu install happens if a root password isn't set and root isn't enabled then a user password will be needed or the system is as insecure as dos.

Re: Orca and the Live CD
Hi Mike, thanks a lot for your reply. Mike reiser wrote: that was supposed to have been fixed but that bug persists. Waiting to here from the person responsible for emplamenting the work on orca on how the progress on this bug is going.. Stay tuned hopefully it'll be fixed before final release. Which bugs are worked on in this regard? I only found bug #128075 that could be connected with this. In the beginning of October I can try and find out whether the alternate CD works. As it probably uses the Debian installer, there should not be any problems.

Upon testing the live CD of September 21, I noticed that my BrlTTY Braille display was recognized but that the screen reader Orca could not be started. My brother deleted a panel applet as this caused an error. Then, I pressed Alt+F2 and entered orca. Nothing happened. Neither was I able to retrieve the Orca version via the console (Strg+Alt+F1) with the command orca --version. I did not receive an output and the input prompt of the shell was not displayed either. How should one proceed if one wants to try out or install the Ubuntu Live CD with the screen reader Orca? The unstable version of Debian GNU/Linux works flawlessly with Orca on my laptop. Therefore, I actually rule out problems with the hardware support of my laptop. Thanks in advance for your hints.
