Re: [orca-list] sonar bersion based off of debian sid and wheezy

Did you get speech in the console?  I have a Wheezy server I set up here at
work.  No Gnome 3.4.2 but I do have a slimmed down gnome classic on here.
Console and x both get speech though.

Hi,

I gave the Sid version a spin, and find that it is the expected GNOME
3.4.2 experience, with speech and audio starting at boot-up;  very nice! 
  The volume and mute toggle shortcuts work, though I'd move them in an
installation to hard drive.  My wifi would not connect to any of the
networks, though about 10 get listed in the menus; I tried one secured and
one open.  For the secured, I was never prompted for the key; the open just
didn't connect.  When exploring the GNOME control center with the arrow
keys, I found that I could not interrupt Orca's speech.  I plan to play with
this a little more on a wired network connection.





Cheers,





Dave  H.

Hello list,


There is a new version of Sonar now based off of Debian-Wheezy and 
also Debian-Sid. I only made the 32 bit version but they are both 
using a pae kernel so it will notice ore than 4 GB. Of ram. Here is a 
link to the download.

Also below are instructions for installing the sonar based Debian the 
install is accessible but some of the fields don't read what you are 
filling in or what you are saying yes or no to. I will have these 
instructions on the sonar-project.org website at some point today.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sonargnulinux/files/


Before you start the install you will want to start the orca 
preferences and choose your keyboard layout.


Now press the windows key and type in the word live. This will bring 
up the installer.


Then it says that the installer itself will use english and you choose 
yes or no. After you tab to yes then press the spacebar.


Next you will choose extra locals to be installed. If you just want 1 
language installed you can just press tab to next and press the spacebar.


After this you will choose the default local for the installation. 
Arrow through the choices and then tab to next and press the spacebar.


Now you will configure the keyboard configuaration. If you are using a 
u.s. Keyboard you can press tab to next and then press the spacebar.


Next is setting up the keyboard layout. The default is u.s. Again if 
you are using a u.s. Keyboard you can press tab and then the spacebar.
During this point of the installer you will have the option to set up 
the kill x by pressing control, Alt and backspace. You will see this 
option as you are tabbing through the menu. If you would like this 
option just press the spacebar to check the box.


Next is creating your partition. Here it says if you already have your 
partition set up you can press quit and you will quit gparted. Or if 
you don't have any partitions set up yet you can press continue to 
open gparted and start your partitioning.


You will arrow down and it will show your HDD. Here you will press 
enter to choose your HDD.


Now you will arrow donw and it will show 3 partitions if you already 
have been running a Gnu/Linux operating system. The first partition 
should be the largest and this is the one you will want to format. 
Here you will right click on this and arrow down to format. Press the 
right arrow over and select the file system you would like to format 
your partiton in. I recommend either x3 or x4. Now press enter to 
choose your file format. Then tab or arrow until you see apply and 
press the spacebar. Then it will ask if you are sure that you want to 
format and press apply again to continue. This will take a few moments 
to format your HDD.


After formatting you will want to tab and then press close. Now press 
control q to quit gparted.


Arrow down until you see your hDD which will be labeled as sda.


Arrow down again and Then you will choose sda again.


Arrow down and Here you will choose your file system again either 
choose
x3 or x4 and press the spacebar.


You will arrown down and it will ask if you want root on home 
partition this is the only choice so press the spacebar.


Here the first text box is to enter your root passward.

The next text box is to reenter your root password.

Next is to choose the full username.

Now you will choose the name of the user to create.

Here enter the password for the user it must be different from the 
root password.

You will enter your username password again here.

The last text box is to choose the host name of the computer.


Now it will be asking where do you want to place the master boot record.
It is set to mbr by default. Then you can press the spacebar.


Now it says that your system clock is set to your local time. 
Answering no will set it to UTC. So choose yes or no and then press enter.


Now you will arrow throught the time zones and choose one and then 
press the spacebar.


It will ask if you want to continue and you will press yes or no with 
the arrow key and then press the spacebar on your choice.
