[orca-list] Resp.: Really bazaar issue when installing Ubuntu

["Marlon Brandão de Sousa" <splyt lists gmail com>]

Hello,
I only tried feisty, and orca did talk in the boot process. I then did
alt+f2, gnome terminal, then enter, then ins + q and closed the orca,
sudo so and enter and started orca again as --no-setup, as you just
described. From now on it had the same behavior as your did, it gave
the well come message and didn't speake in the terminal window. As you
typing ubiquity brought the installer but no speech.
I asked for help but had none so I am still trying to figure out what happens.
