ot: install help

[Guy Schlosser]

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.  I am trying to install ubuntu 7.04, and was 
wondering if someone here can help.  An over-the-phone walk through 
would be awesome, but will settle for E-mail.  Here is my 
problem:  When I boot the live cd and enter a terminal, speech seems 
to be fine.  When I follow instructions I found on the orca wiki, 
that say to enter "sudo su, unload orca, then type "orca --no-setup 
--disable main-window", I get the welcome, then a message that says, 
"switching to focus tracking mode", then no speech.  If anyone can 
help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much,


Guy

You have to use the & sign to put Orca in the background. 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.

Hi,

Same problem.  Could you let me know if you get it sorted.  I have 
only found instructions for the previous version?

Thanks

setup argument.

Oh, that will put Orca in the background so you stay in the terminal window.
