Then hit backspace to hopefully get the beep that you're still in the terminal. Then you just put in Ubiquity without the speech and speech will come up for install. This odd way has to do with the fact that Orca can't communicate across accounts so it needs to be running as root, as would the installer be. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Schlosser" To: Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 2:09 AM Subject: ot: install help > Hi all, I know this is off-topic for this list in a way because it > deals with orca, but then not so ot, because I want to get speakup > running after install.
