Hello james
it seemed that ubuntuGnome uses the same installer as ubuntu does, and
since tim confirmed it last night, i went for a vm install.
I did the vm settings and powered on the machine, and i waited for the
drum sound of ubuntu installation.
(it plays a drum sounds when the screen loads up)
i waited for 5 minutes, and it still didn't play the drum sound. so i
decided to press control+s, and immediately i got speech feedback. and
ScreenReader kicked in.
it was the screen which you can decide if you want to run ubuntu live or
press the install button.
I installed the system, and after system reboot ScreenReader automaticly
kicked in, and everything was setup already!
gnome-orca (which seems that was renamed to screenreader BTW) is
extremely speedy on gnome, (it comes with gnome)..
it is laggy on unity, and makes navigation hard in that desktop manager.
I expect more blind and visually impaired people coming toward
ubuntuGnome, as it installs ubuntu plus latest gnome without any hassles
or extra configurations, so i believe a wiki page that states that
ubuntuGnome comes with speech installation helps.
p.s it would be awesome if a sound could be played when the installation
screen comes up.
Cheers
Hadi

Hello
Please excuse me if this question has been asked before on this
mailinglist, I'm a new User.
I wanted to know, that does UbuntuGnome come with accessibility options
for installation like ubuntu does?
In this case, speech-guided installation, for visually impaired. In
ubuntu, at the boot screen, hitting control+S fires up the speech
guided installation, so blind and visually impaired users can install
the system as well. then after the installation, gnome-orca (the
screenreader), will automaticly run.
I'm really interested to run ubuntu gnome, as Unity is extremely laggy
when navigating with orca
Gnome-orca has been improved a lot in gnome 3.8 as well, that's also
one of the reasons that i'm eager to install this distro.
Cheers
Thanks.
------------------------------
It does, but I don't think that it's as simple as pressing CTRL + S.
When I started the installation from a VM, I had to select a language
first, and then press F5 for accessibility options. This gives you a
list that you select from with the arrow keys. I've attached a
screenshot of the list. (Obviously if you're visually impaired I
understand that this doesn't help, but if you're not I thought I
should be as complete as possible.)
Good luck, and keep us posted if you try the install and learn
more. I would like to add info about this to our wiki pages.
Someone else should also test this in case I'm missing something. :)
