Well, maybe the edgy cd would work for me; the feisty one wouldn't. As I
recall the edgy livecd wouldn't boot on this computer.
At any rate, there are some instances I've seen online of people migrating
from debian to ubuntu via apt-get. that doesn't mean it is now possible
necessarily but appa

ubuntu-users might not understand the problems of braille/speech.
But i know this is more a ubuntu issue than a gnome issue. So if this is too
offtopic, redirect me and I'll take my question elsewhere.

Thank you so much!!! I had to try it a couple of times to get the
timing right but this work so splash is the problem. But as long as
there's a reasonably easy way to get aroun it, I have no problem.
Thrilled to be able to use edgy!!!

I'm noticing that brltty appears to be in /sbin on ubuntu. As the
default installation for brltty has been in /bin for some time now,
I'm wondering if there's a reason for the /sbin placement.

I do know the prolific usb cable can be a bit flaky with the Mac so
may have to get a keyspan.
After looking at your post further though, you are talking about the
x86 cd; I don't have a problem with brltty on the x86 cd, at least
for Dapper Drake; it's the ppc version where there's a problem
Just to clarify:
I do have debian unstable libgnome-speech3 and libgnome-speech3-dev
installed.

These two issues may be related so I'm discussing them both in the
same email.
1. I can't get the version of gnome-speech recommended for orca to
compile on my debian unstable system. It hangs after checking for
javac and responding "yes" in the configure. Does anybody know what

I am totally puzzled about this. Dapper Drake boots fine on my main
linux computer; so does grml so it's not my cdrom causing the
problem. the ppc version of ubuntu boots fine on my mac--never mind
that I can't get sound to work and can't get brltty to work--it does
boot all the way. howeve
I dont know about a null modem adaptor; is this a difference between
the old braillelites and the braillelite 2000? Wih my braillelite,
all I have to do is use the serial cable that came with my
braillelite and add on the usb-to-serial adaptor.

Ok,; here are the results of my latest attempt on the mac with the
ubuntu live cd.
First of all, if you leave the cd alone it will indeed boot all the
way so you do have to catch it; the bootup prompt appears to be
pretty soon after the spin-up. However, using "live nofb" does not

Dave Mielke thinks my problem with question marks on the braille

to modify the iso i

speech in either gnopernicus or orca at this point.

I'm getting really good at restarting gdm, logging in, doing alt-f2

I have encountered the same error that Jason White reported in debian

gnopernicus from using dectalk; I didn't look to see what was being used,
probably festival. Seemed awfully repetitive though which made it hard to
tell where I was. anybody else have this problem?

Thanks Remus.
I don't think you are supposed to have to set the port for brltty.
I can check my brlapi.key permissions and see if that helps.

Maybe this is already known but thought I'd post just in case.

Ok, I had somehow gotten lost but when I went back the combo box made more

Hi.
No, your assumption is incorrect: I'm using gentoo, and currently it
doesn't have a /etc/init.d/gdm connection; am working on figuring that
out.
You said it would change to user gdm; so what do I do at the beep; do I
type gdm for user; if so, do I need a password?
Altf-f1 etc. haven't been
I appear to have everything installed and configured but I'm having
problems. With startx, I don't even know if I'm getting as far as

Ok kenny, but if accessibility isn't enabled yet, am I even going to be
able to read the dialog box. Can I still use gconftool-2 to do that
beforehand. and don't I need to set up for brltty beforehand with
gconftool also?
Thanks.

Hi all.
I am once again going to attempt to set up gnopernicus. can anybody tell
me if there's a link to follow to find the most recent procedures for
setting up gnopernicus. I will primarily be using braille with brltty,
although I may also include speech.
