Hi all,
I am attempting to test the Zod live CD and have a few questions.
First, I am able to boot the disk and run Orca. After Orca completes its
initial setup, it is necessary to logout of gnome and then log back in. At
this point, I'm pressing control alt backspace to restart the GDM. I'm
Hi all,
I've noticed that by default in Feisty, the administration menu seems to be
gone, and all of the functions it contained can now be accessed via the

there doesn't seem to be a way to navigate the control-center UI ef
Hi all,
I am working with two machines running Edgy. One is a 4 year old desktop
with an antique sound blaster live, probably dating back to the late 90s.
the other is a 1 year old IBM ThinkPad T43 with SoundMax integrated audio.
I have ESD enabled on both systems. I'm finding that when I att

It would actually be extremely cool to have this functionality available
from anywhere on the desktop. I know that at least one Windows screen

I'm running Edgy with Gnome 2.15, and am experiencing major weirdness in

Some of the issues I've noticed are as follows:

Hello Christian,
To permanently enable root login to gnome under Debian, edit the

In the [security] section of the file, add the following line:

After doing this, you need to reboot or just restart the gdm for the change
to take effect.
Hope this helps,

Hi all,
I'm noticing a weird issue in FedoraCore5 that I'm wondering whether anyone
can verify?
It appears that the ability to manipulate slider controls via the keyboard
is broken. This doesn't seem to be a screen reader specific problem, as it
occurs with both Gnopernicus and Orca. I initi
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone is aware of any good accessible, gui based package
management tools for FC5? Pup works well enough in terms of downloading
updates, but I would ideally like to see something that would allow browsing
of packages in similar fashion to synaptic. I can't yum install
there, where as the installer will replace the default version
of mozilla currently living on your system.
Good luck,

Hi Lorenzo,
actually, the latest Bon Echo alpha versions of Firefox will yield better
