Re: [orca-list] Problems with Audio in Ubuntu 9.04

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi Damian:

If you install using the screen reader option on the Ubuntu live CD, 
things are apparently supposed to work.  I don't develop on Ubuntu, 
though, so I'm not sure where things stand with it.

You might have better luck raising Ubuntu issues on the Ubuntu 
accessibility list -- some of the Ubuntu folks are on this list, but I'm 
sure they'd appreciate having Ubuntu issues raised and discussed on the 
Ubuntu forums.
