Dear users, I would like to give You some useful hod keys for The situation, when You will lose speech support and if Gnome will stop to operate. Please remember, that CTRL+ALT+F1 and other key combinations with some of function keys are awailable for You. So if You will not be able to even shut down computer by pressing power button, Gnome shutdown process will not recall, do not panic. Instead of force shutdown,which may corrupt Your harddrive if You will do it very often, press CTRL+ALT+F1. The user name login screen wil appear. Type Your user name followed by pressing Enter key, then type Your password and You will press Enter key again. You will be at The console.
You can start brltty or even install Yasr, Yasr is able to work in Ubuntu Jaunty. apt-get install yasr You will be able for example to shutdown your computer from The console. But Gnome data will probably will not be saved correctly, but You will not be forced to shutdown Your computer by forcing shutdown it. YOu are able to switch between console and login prompt and Your Gnome session by pressing CTRL+ALT+F7 for recalling Gnome session or by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 to recall login prompt and after login, YOu will use standard Linux console. So i think, that this information would interest somebody of us.
