[Fwd: Ubuntu-accessibility Digest, Vol 21, Issue 18]

This becomes long, so if not pertinent, quit reading now.
Note my answer doesn't fix much; and now I think the question was meant 
for another Will!!. 
Note the continuation of another list, that specializes, and is trying 
also!!    Wil
==========
I think I know of an easy way to do a reinstall, but one must be able to 
see to do it.
If one goes to the add/remove programs, simply unchecking orca and 
rebooting will remove it.  Then going to the same box, and checking it, 
and after a time (I don't know, maybe 5 minutes?) Rebooting and Orca 
should be reloaded, just like it was when first came.
  I have to fill in a username, and password, without ever hearing 
anything.
Then run mouse up to Applications, in top left corner, and then down 7 
arrows to add/remove.
Then I get a list of all available programs. I see to click 
acessibility, and then note ORCA as checked, and It was working this 
afternoon, but not now!!
So I may have to try something more also!!  This has come and gone 
before, and I know not why.  Sorry.

Hi Will,

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately, the problem is that sound 
isn't being heard, not the inability to load orca. I've had orca up and 
running on the machine since January, so it's probably safe to assume 
it's speaking even though nothing is being heard. I suspect something 
happened to the ESD mixer since that's the output port I selected in the 
gnome audio preferences. If I could reset these values to their 
defaults, that would probably solve the problem. Would a complete 
removal of gnome and reinstallation from the ubuntu repository do the 
trick? Seems like overkill to fix such a small problem, but I'm willing 
to do that if it's my only option left.

- All my best,
- Steve

Hi, any news yet on when the live CD will be fixed so orca will work. I have people who want to try it, but don't want to waste my time downloading it until orca works.
I can't use the mouse, so need speech to use the desktop and wxplain it to them.
If it is going to still be a while, let me know, and I will see about having someone install ubuntu on a old computer so I can show it that way.
I did get orca to work with speech dispatcher when tribe 2 came out. So I guess I can do that again.
Mike.

Hi,

I can't get ubuntu 7.4 feisty to boot using the live cd. I have an nvidia 
video card, logitech USB headphones, pentium processor 512mb of ram and 
sound blaster live sound card. it runs on my wife's computer with a celleron 
processor, intel video card, on-board sound using soundmax digital. we also 
have USB keyboards, and linksys wifi adapters that are USB. but it won't run 
on my computer.

Hi,

Is there a way to bypass my nvidia video card so linux will boot? I think 
that it may be the cause of my problems.

The accessibility select control needs to be changed from a single select 
radiobutton to a multiselect radiobutton to accommodate installers who use 
speech and cannot use the mouse.  As of now, it's an either/or and it 
needs to get to an and situation when necessary.

In some flabors of Linux a boot parameter exists that tells the booting 
Linux not to do hardware probing.  That may be what you need to use.
