Re: [orca-list] Problems installing Fedora Workstation 36

[Nimer Jaber <nimerjaber1 gmail com>]

Hello,

The solution that worked for me is as follows:

When starting up Fedora, and Orca is started, go to the terminal, and change the password for the default liveuser account. In terminal, type 'passwd' and create a new password.

Next, log out. The goal is to log back in with the Gnome on Xorg display server. When logging out, you should be able to start Orca and get speech on login.

Press enter on your username, then tab to the session chooser. Choose Gnome on Xorg, type your password, and log in.

At that point, you should be able to start the installer with speech.

Once the install completes, I did have to add some lines to my .bashrc file to export some variables to enable accessibility, to enable QT accessibility, etc., otherwise, apps such as Chrome and Zoom won't work.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,


Firstly apologies if this has been discussed already.


I'm trying to do a fresh install of Fedora 36.


I can boot the live image and get Orca running, however as soon as I
select "Install to hard drive", Orca goes silent.


Is the Fedora installer no longer accessible or am I missing something?


If the standard graphical installer is no longer accessible are there
any other ways to install Fedora?


Thanks,


Nick
