You need to enable orca at the boot screen using this special magic sequence:

I am unable to use Ekiga with Orca. Once a connection is established,
there is a bit of sound, then nothing. When I try to hang up, Orca
becomes unresponsive, and the computer fan races. My only option seems

Hi,
I know this isn't strictly an accessibility thing, but I seem to have

I'm running Lucid from a live cd of about 5 days ago. When I start the
system and attempt to login at the audible prompt, my system locks up on
most attempts. Why it works sometimes,
