Re: [orca-list] vinux not working

[Alex Midence <alex midence gmail com>]

Hi.

Sorry if this is an odd question but, what happens when you press alt f1 
for the main menu or alt f2 for the run dialog?  How about controrl alt t 
for the terminal?  Another thing you might try is control alt o to kill 
and relaunch Orca in case something went wrong on the startup.  Once 
you've gotten Orca talking, I strongly suggest going into startup 
applications in the system menu under preferences and unchecking that 
annoying message.  When the feature was introduced in Vinux 3.1, I found 
that I had issues with sound until I disabled it because of how rapidly 
Pulse Audio loads up and how many things are yammering for its attention 
namely, a startup .wav file, Orca's own startup message "Welcome to 
orca!", and, that audio popup.  The minute I disabled the quickstart 
manual message, it was smooth sailing.

Best Regards,
Alex M

ps You might try posting this to the Vinux support list on Googlegroups. 
The orca list is going to have folks who use many distributions and is .
probably not the best place to ask distro-specific questions like this.
