Good Luck Maurice -----Original Message----- From: ubuntu-accessibility-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com [mailto:ubuntu-accessibility-boun...@lists.ubuntu.com] On Behalf Of Eric Oyen Sent: 27 October 2010 10:37 To: ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: strange problem with orca in 10.04 PPC version hello, I have decided to take my powerbook G3 (lombard or "bronze keyboard") into the world of linux because I cannot get OS X to upgrade to the point where voiceover would be of use to me (I happen to be blind and need speech). the strange problem is, I cannot seem to get to an accessible installer from the directions given on the ubuntu accessibility page. so. I let it run into full live cd mode, then when the sound chimes indicating the desktop has loaded, I hit alt/option+F2, then type sudo orca and hit enter. at this point, I am greeted with no speech and no way to determine if orca has started. I had to look up the screen its supposed to present, and answer the questions. after pressing 1 then enter, I answer y <enter> and y <enter> then orca starts to speak, telling me that the speech-dispatcher is working but that something else is wrong and that I need to check the logs located in .... unfortunately, I have no sighted assistance available, and I really would like to have a working accessible powerbook. since I cannot read the screen, or the logs, I am at a loss as to how to continue. can anyone help? -Eric -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility Maersk Oil North Sea UK Limited, registered in England and Wales No. 03682299.
