I always use netinstall :-)
It happens when you boot the live CD and then don't touch the controls when
it gets to the boot menu.
Strange that so many people seem to have this problem- what with Orca being
turned on and the like. I've never had it- I just keep Orca turned off in the
login screen, and disabled in the desktop.

I believe (from having a look at the package browser) that Trisquel 6 uses
GNOME 3 like Trisquel 7.

Have you tried turning off Orca for good in the Accessibility menu under the
GNOME Control Centre?

You won't likely find orca in your startup applications list, and
turning it off in the desktop won't turn it off in the login screen.
To silence orca in login, use ctrl+s before typing your password. For
the main desktop, the toggle is alt+super+s.
In order to prevent Orca from launching at Login screen (and resetting my
keyboard to us…), I also had to type in a shell:
cd /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
sudo mv orca-screen-reader.desktop orca-screen-reader.desktop.bkp

Thanks for the input. I was able to shut it off with the instructions
provided by Onpon4.
Occasionally it is just good to live in a pure clean terminal with no GUI to
bother with at all. I discovered that little virtual terminal trick by
accident about 6 months back, very cool indeed.
pizzaiolo's right.
If you want to permanently get rid of your GUI you can uninstall gdm or
lightdm (depending whether you're on 6 or 7). To stop it once, switch to
virtual terminal 1 with Ctrl + Alt + F1 and then login with your username and
password and then e.g.sudo service gdm stop
I guess theoretically the more programs you have on your computer, higher the
risk that one of them will have a serious bug. I think that's what he or she
meant.
Is there a specific security threat when orca and/or speech-dispatcher is/are
present? If you plan to remove the screen reader, the package is called
gnome-orca.
BTW, I've been trying, since 2011, to get the GUI off my system; it';comes up
and I cannot stop it. LOL.
It's a feature, not a bug (happens when you don't touch anything after
booting the live system, for blind people), and you're trying to turn off
Orca the wrong way. Go to System Settings, Universal Access, and turn off the
screen reader there.
Hello,
I just installed Trisquel 7 on my second laptop PC right next to a fresh
Debian 8 install. So it is a dual boot setup. When I booted into Trisquel for
the first time, I noticed that the Orca Screen Reader was on and reading all
the on-screen text on the desktop by default. It is
If you're not going use it you might just as well uninstall it. That'll save
you some disk space and potentially some useless updates. Also it will make
your system marginally safer.
Welcome to freedom!
