Hi there.
I'm sorry of this has been covered ad nauseam, however I am a new user of orca and Ubuntu (and especially Linux in general), thus am asking this.
I followed the instructions found at
http://live.gnome.org/Orca/UbuntuEdgyEfttt
related to installing ubuntu in an accessible manner. granted, these instructions are for Ubuntu 6.10, and there may be newer ones. Let me know if there are.
I was able to go into gnome-terminal, do a sudo su to change to root, but, then went I did orca --no-setup & and pressed enter, (not forgetting to type ubiquity to initialize the dtk accessibility thing), orca loaded, but, wouldn't really talk. did I do something wrong, is there a better and/or more efficient way of doing it?
I did get it to half-way install, (of course I kind of forgot, and/or was confused about how I got it to talk me through the installation in the first place, so couldn't relay it to you to troubleshoot),however when I got to the part about partitioning the harddrive, it didn't talk, and I was forced to abort. so, either way, I wouldn't have been able to complete the install.
On a related matter, is there something wrong with orca and the partitioning program, cause when I launched gnome partition editor, it wouldn't talk there either. maybe they're one in the same, which would make sense why they both wouldn't talk.
any help and/or suggestions as to how I can get this to better talk me through the installation, would be appreciated.
Thanks much.
