Re: [orca-list] Other best distros that are useable wit Orca?

Hello,
When booting an installed system you are supposed to get boot messages displayed on the screen in a text mode until graphical login screen is shown. If you have your system to start with graphical UI. If not then text mode login prompt should get displayed. Espeakup should also be started in that case. If you are on a laptop having multimedia keys have you tried to play with the volume control keys to discover if the speakers are not muted inadvertently.
Do you have a bit of sight so you have discovered you can only see numbers or some text  messages displayed on the screen.
I am thinking I'll going to also try installing debian testing as I feel it's extremely important to help you make the most of your system as we don't like to contribute to somewhat negative review at cool blind tech :-) .

Other systems you can try include Fedora which starts up with graphical UI and you can press alt+super+s to start orca and archlinux by booting talking arch image. There is an excelent audio walk through created by Kyle on how you might install arch linux if you like to take that route... https://talkingarch.tk/tutorials.php


Oh yeah, Chris you are awesome, helping you as best as you can after you have rejoined here just a week or two ago. Excelent! And thanks for your time.

Greetings

Peter

Hello, Installing the OS is not the issue. I did that no problems, it’s once done and I rebooted, I get a bunch of jarggin numbers, and nothing is being read to me on screen on Lenovo edge e520, i386. Thanks.

Armando

You say nothing spoke.

 

Did you try the steps which were outlined earlier by booting to the image, hitting s, then enter to install with screen reader support?

 

What type hardware are you installing on, and don't just say a laptop. I mean, what make/model, what architect is it, like I386, AMD, AMDX86, etc.

 

I just tried booting over here from the net image, which was suggested earlier to you to try, and though I didn't complete the install, as I really don't want it, I was! able to get speech up and talking after booting, hitting S, enter, then waiting for a second or two.

 

Where are you downloading the image, and exactly on the page which you'll give us the link to, what exactly from the very beginning to the end links are you clicking to start the download? This way we can be totally totally sure you're downloading the correct ISO.

 

Also, are you sure your bios/UEFI is properly set in the boot order to boot to CD, USB, then hard drive? If your hard drive is first in the boot sequence, then you'll never get the media booted, most likely... not unless your PC has a boot menu, and you know how to get into it. And even then, it's dicy.

Hello, I tried Linux debian with no success. I installed and well, sadly it does not read anything. So, what are other good alternatives that are useable and will not give me complicated issues when it comes to installing programs like teamTalk? I’ve messed with Vinux and Ubuntu and have no success. Thanks.

Armando
