Re: installing 2012.10
I'm definitely glad you got 12.04 back up and running. So far, it's the best Ubuntu for accessibility, unless you want/need the latest GNOME and plan to use it mostly unmodified. Sonar versions of 12.10 are currently still in the works. I was referring to the fact that you should be able to take the Sonar of your choice based on 12.04 and update to something very close to what Sonar would be if based on 12.10. However, if you decide to run Sonar, I should note here that versions based on 12.10 should be available in less than a month. Versions are being made based on Ubuntu with and without gnome-shell and also based on Lubuntu for light-weight systems, or if you just want a system that runs extremely fast, even if it doesn't have the very latest hardware. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: installing 2012.10
Hello, Good news I was able to fix my 12.04 installed system. Oh what a shame. That was a verry verry stupid mistake. I have got no free space left on the system partition so the system was unable to even create lightdm session and thus it was displaying an error. So what I did is that I have moved some files to the external drive, rebooted the machine and voila... I am now again using my perfectly working system. Still I am verry curious about new gnome 3.6 accessibility improvements. I will most likelly install it into the virtualbox first. Now a reply to the discussion: is there a sonar distro based off of 12.10 or are you still talking about gnome powered 12.04 derivative which should be easily updated to new gnome?

However, Sonar has a modified installer that will fully install GNOME 3.6 either with or without gnome-shell, depending on the image you download, and configure it to run by default. I'm not 100% sure that Orca speaks the login screen on Sonar, but it should as far as I know. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: installing 2012.10
Hello, does orca reliably start and work on login screen in 12.10? Once the system is installed using the built-in installer it installs unity I assume. I have never tried to install something else than the default. Can I somehow configure autologin so it will use gnome instead of unity? I know 12.04 is still the recommended however I would like to get the maximum out of available possibilities. In gnome 3.6 accessibility is turned on all the time and I hope this is a big move and hopefully may be helpfull.

Re: installing 2012.10
Sonar is based on Ubuntu 12.04, so the update manager should get you the latest packages, while still allowing you to keep Sonar's modifications, and therefore should update to GNOME 3.6. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

installing 2012.10
Hello, Today My PC got hard power off due to power outage. Unfortunatelly it is now broken and displays low resolution mode at the beginning. I have not enough expertise to fix it my-self fsck did not help. I am therefore speculating. Is there a more recent distro preferrably running gnome 3.6 which I can install without sighted help and get fully operational my self? I think I can backup my files using live cd before installing. I would be happy to do it tonight. Can you please give me some advices?
