workaround for installing ubuntu 8.10?

2008-10-30 Thread Simon Eigeldinger
Hi all,

I am Simon from Austria.
I am new in this list but I installed and used Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 
before. I also used Debian for my old server a few years ago. So I 
know a little bit about linux but i am still a newbie somehow. :-)

I saw in the archive that there are some issues with the ubuntu 
installer in the official release.
Are we able actually to install ubuntu 8.10 somehow or does it not 
work?

Greetings from Austria,
Simon

Oh Yes,

Only Ubuntu 8.04 hardy Heron was able to automatically launch installation 
program from A boot menu, when user pressed F5, choosed accessibility choice 
for running orca, pressed enter again and thenn user choosed install by 
pressing down arrow for once. But because probably At-spi architecture is 
working differently for Intrepid, todays live CD version of Ubuntu, it will 
be necessary to launch installation program as A root user. In earlyer 
versions, users had reverse problem, Orca runned as a Ubuntu user, and 
installation program run like a Root. Now, is probably all working 
viceversa, but problem is similar, Orca and installation program are working 
as A different user accounts. There is may be one possibility.

Please, try to normally boot to A gnome without trying to access 
accessibility options by pressing F5. After Gnome will be completely loaded 
in The RAM, press Alt+F2, run Orca, complete setup questions, do not answer 
yes when Orca will ask You to logout, press Enter key instead and then press 
CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart our popular Xserver, Gnome.

After Gnome will be loaded, run Orca again, YOu should hear The Speech.

Then try to type exactly A following command to The edit field inside run 
application dialog box accessed by pressing ALT+F2.

sudo ubiquity --desktop %kgtk_ui

Will Orca provide speech support inside installation program? If no, try to 
create The desktop icon in Gnome and save this link to a USB flash drive, 
and try to use command line which I wrought previously for creating this 
desktop icon.

If You will not be able to use installation program, try The last think, run 
The command from A terminal window,

Activate this Window by activating run application dialog box and type

gnome-terminal

And when terminal window will appear, type A command, which I described 
previously.

Please if someone will receive error, describe this here, please provide Me 
a Feetback.

The kindness regards.
