[orca-list] Ubuntu 8.04.1 installation problems, Orca wont launch!

["Hrvoje Katic" <hrvojekatic gmail com>]

Hi all,

I'm writing for the first time so I'd like to introduce myself first. I am 
Hrvoje from Europe/Croatia, I am 21 years old and I am a low vision person. 
I have experience with various Windows versions, and I also tryed Ubuntu 
since 6.10 release.

So here's my problem. Yesterday I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04.1 from Ubuntu Web 
site, however I've got some problems.

So I tryed to install Ubuntu 8.04.1 on my NEC laptop with 512 MB of RAM, 
Intel Pentium 1.86 GHZ processor, Intel Mobile graphics card, Conexant AC 
Link Audio sound card. So I bought some blank CDs and burned Hardy on one of 
them. Ok, it boots well, I choose english by pressing Enter, then I down 
arrow to install, I press F5 then 3 for Orca, then Enter twice. However, 
with my little vision I can see that the installation screen shows up, but 
Orca doesn't launch, because there's no speech output nor Orca's window. I 
tryed it a lot of times without any chance. Then I tryed the old method 
using the Ubiquity script, however when I type in
sudo su
orca --no-setup --disable main-window
Orca then starts and says "welcome to Orca"
However after I type
ubiquity
the installer screen shows up but Orca wont speak! I thought it was fixed in 
final release, and I'm even using 8.04.1, not 8.04! So I really don't have 
an idea why this didn't work, since on my another PC (AMD Sempron 2600+, 
1.61 GHZ, 512 MB of RAM) it works fine and orca starts speaking when I boot 
with the installer. I previously tryed older versions of Ubuntu (7.04 and 
7.10) on the same Laptop and everything worked as expected, however in 
current 8.04.1 release, Orca doesn't launch or work with the installer like 
before. O yeah, and also I'd like to note that I had the same problem before 
on my PC as well, but only with 8.04 release. With 8.04.1 it works on my PC 
as I said above.
I have no idea is this problem with my laptop configuration, or simply a bug 
in Ubuntu. So please help!

Regards
Hrvoje
