Re: [orca-list] starting Ubuntu

["E.J. Zufelt" <lists zufelt ca>]

Good evening Chris,

I would imagine that the best place to ask this question is the Ubuntu accessibility mailing list.  However, I have pasted below the answer that I received from that list when I asked the same question.

The magic key sequence to bring up Orca in a Live CD boot of Lucid is
now: "Press space every 3-4 seconds, several times, then enter, then
F5, then 3, then enter twice"

I have never gotten this to work, or perhaps once, but I am also working in a virtual machine where the timing is trickier.  It is a major accessibility failure in my opinion.  I like OS X where F5, or Function F5 always starts VoiceOver, whether you are installing OS X or using someone else's Mac.

HTH,

Everett Zufelt

Glenn, no offense to the list intended, but I have asked this same question about 10.04 several times on list and no one nor their mother! cares to help.  Please let me know if you figure this out, as people always just point me to the orca wiki and say there, now go read.  Well, people I I, and Glenn kind a would if the solution was there, but it ain't, so, there, back to ya.

Can someone please help us?

Chris.

Subject: [orca-list] starting Ubuntu

Hi,

I haven't had to start Ubuntu from a disk for a long time, and my keystrokes

aren't working, and I am hoping that someone here can confirm my keystrokes.

Ubuntu 10.04

wait for disk to spin up and stop

press enter for English

press F5

press #3 for screen reader (Orca)

Press enter twice

I thought that was what I have done in the past anyway.

Glenn
