Re: [orca-list] Vinux-3.01X64dvd speech problem

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

HI.

I'm personally not one who feels keen on monkeying with the pulse
audio init file and telling it to sleep for 12 or whatever it is.
Another suggestion which, incidentally, worked for me in Vinux 3.1
which also has this quickstart thingy is is to disable the quickstart
manual message.  For this, go to Gnome's main menu > system >
preferences, startup applications.  Get rid of the one that is the one
that tells you to press control alt q or whatever it is for the
quickstart manual.  You are not a beginner to gnome or Linux and I
don't think you will miss being told what to do to launch the manual
every time yo start a new session.  It was my very first order of
business when I installed.

Regards,
Alex M
