Re: [orca-list] Orca in VMWare

Hi,

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu on a Vista PC with VMWare.  It's really pretty straight
forward.  First, download VMWare Server (it has no cost) and install it.
Then, decide whether you want to install from an ISO CD image or an image of
a fully built hard disk version of Ubuntu.  

Next, if you chose CD, start up VMWare and add a new VM.  In the hardware
page of the dialogue, add a sound card (using the default works well), make
a virtual hard disk, a virtual CD ROM which should point to your ISo image
and, once the set up is complete, turn on your VM.  After a little while,
you will hear the Ubuntu tune play.  Hit ALT-F2 and type orca and, after a
minute or two, it will start talking and you can enter your default options
for orca.  After that, go to the Ubuntu desktop and hit ENTER on the
Installation icon.

If you choose to install from a full Ubuntu image, find one to your liking
with the VMWare web site search.  Download it and unpack it into the folder
where you want it (it requires something that can unpack tar files).  When
complete with the copying, go into the folder where you put it and hit ENTER
on the Ubuntu VM configuration file.  This will start VMWare with your newly
installed VM.  Make sure you read the instructions for the appliance as it
may have users and passwords set up.

Enjoy,
cdh

Hi all,
Has anyone managed to boot a linux virtual machine, from a linux host
and get speech? Or even any sound at all?

If so, what distros were you using?

Cheers.
