I have the trouble coming my way only first time.

Basically, I have it on my pen drive but soon to be installed on my netbook.
Actually when I booted the pen drive for the first time, I waited for 
the drums to sound which they did.
Then I pressed ctrl + s for the speech.
I waited for the desktop to come after I selected try Ubuntu.
As you might be aware you got to press tab once after the first screen 
on live boot comes up.
But then the trouble started.
I had to do some guess work and after I was sure that the desktop had 
come up, I pressed alt + f2 and typed orca.
sure enough, Orca started.
But mind you we get the unity 3d desktop by default.
So naturally menus and all won't speak.
Yet, I pressed alt +f10 and got orca to read the menus.
But if you don't get the same result, just press the super key and type 
log and press down arrow 2 times.
Hit enter.
Now you logout
Again the drums will sound and Orca will speak.
Press the tab key once and hit enter.
you will get the choices for the session login.
Press shift + tab and you will hear Orca say "unity 2d"
press enter and come back to the username entry field.
Type ubuntu for the username and hit enter.
now just press enter for password.
Wait for 5 or 10 seconds and just start orca using the alt + f2 method.
This time sure enough. orca will speak all as I had mentioned in my 
previous email.
Happy hacking.
