Re: [orca-list] Latest Version of Orca


Hey There,

Actually, I simply switched to Vinux, and everything seems to be
working beautifully; the problem seems to be solved. Orca hasn't
crashed once. As for what the trouble was, I really can't say, and
neither can the technician who did the work for me.

I really want to sincerely thank all of you who offered help in the
form of pointers, advice and other information. I sincerely
appreciate all of you very much.

cheerio,
Riv

You upgraded? The same computer? Are you saying everything was working,
then you did X to upgrade?

What were you running before the upgrade? And, what did you do to
upgrade?


And just to be clear, we're talking about the same computer system, yes?

PS: I should have said this sooner. You can run Vinux without installing
it by run off a bootable image. Let's get that option on the table here,
too.

Hey There,

You offer some really sage input here, and you pose a perfectly
valid question. You see, before I upgraded to the latest version of
Squeeze Disk that came out of beta during the first quarter of this
year, I didn't have this problem. I am serious about wanting to
learn Linux, but at present, I am unqualified to ferret out the
source of the problem at hand, because of my limited knowledge and
skills.

If what I am dealing with is a distro issue, then going back to
where I started would solve the matter. Either that or just
switching distros that are at least roughly equal when it comes to
currentness. If it is a hardware issue, then it matters not a wit
what distro I employ; I am just scrucked. The anomaly has to do
with my not knowing wherein lies the root of the difficulty; for
that is the million dollar question.

cheerio,
Riv

Ok, I am actually running orca 2.30.2 and  Gnome gdm  2.30.5.



OK. Forget all that stuff about reinstalling.


... However, we still
can't pinpoint the source of the constant crashing.



Chasing down problems like that can be time consuming, and can often
require skills. Do you have those kinds of Linux skills? Are you even
interested in going down the road of learning those kinds of things?

I ask, because I keep recalling that you paid for this system. Seems to
me you might want to ask for your money back.

Not that you should give up on Orca and Linux. But, you might try it on
different hardware.Yes, the hardware you use can matter. I don't know
for a fact this is your problem, but it well could be, and chasing that
down would also not be trivial.

So for the sake of experimentation, I would like to switch my gnome
version back to "gnome.2.32" and my version of Orca to "xdesktop."
Would I need to download specific disks, or will I be able to
accomplish the switch online, via say, something like the "apt-
get?"


Which version of Gnome are you currently running?

In Debian, Gnome 3 is available from the experimental repository only, so
unless you've specifically installed it from experimental, you won't be
running Gnome 3.

In Ubuntu, so far as I've read on the list, you have to enable the fall-back
Gnome environment and there are instructions available for this which have
been discussed on the list previously.
