I created and used the Edgy Live CD yesterday. (and blogged about it: http://blogs.sun.com/richb/entry/orca_on_ubuntu_edgy_live ) I didn't have the benefit of your HOWTO, but I did everything you suggested albeit in a different way (with thanks to Mike Pedersen for his help). Here's some comments: * First a minor spelling nit. You have "wring" when you mean "wrong". * I used Control-Alt-F1 to bring up a virtual console to do the initial run of Orca. It's less to type blindly then Alt-F2 and "gnome-terminal" and "orca". Alt-F7 to get back to your desktop. Control-Alt-Backspace as you suggest to logout. * I logged back in and started up Orca, but then had real problems with none of the applications I tried starting up. Visually the little wheel icon would "spin" and there would be a "Starting <application>" tab in the gnome-panel but the application would not come up on the screen. By going back to the virtual console, I could see that the app was running. I "solved" this by logging out again, then at the login prompt, rather than wait the ten seconds or so for the live CD to automatically startup, I hit Return. After the desktop was shown, I started up Orca again, and this time the apps would start up nicely and be spoken by Orca. This live CD is *really* impressive Henrik. Many thanks to you and your team for putting it together. _______________________________________________ gnome-accessibility-list mailing list gnome-accessibility-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-accessibility-list
