Audio Walk through now available. install OpenSuSE 11 independently.

Hello all, Some of you may have heard of me, others ..... maybe not. I've recorded a number of audio walk throughs in the past aiming to guide new users through the installation, configuration and use of differing Linux distributions. The walk throughs are mainly aimed at new users however in the case of this one, I am hoping that as many people will listen as possible to highlight the exceptional work the OpenSuSE developers have done with this release to make it the most accessible release ever! The walk through demonstrates the new text to speech functionality found in the boot menu. Simply boot the Gnome Live CD or the DVD, wait for the beep to signify that the boot menu is displayed, press f9 and you will instantly hear speech feedback when you arrow through the options. OpenSuSE 11, boot from hard disk failsafe, memory test are normally options we would have to memorise. In this version we have full access! Press f2 to choose your language and again, it's spoken! I could rant and rave about how impressed I am but really, I would suggest you take a listen to the walk through and download 11 for your self. Of course, there are quite a few Yast GTK bugs to iron out and I've not had the time to submit them to bugzilla but I'm very confedent that once their submitted they'll be acted upon very promptly. Get the walk through at www.digitaldarragh.com/linux/opensuse-installation-with-orca-walkthrough.mp3 You can see more audio walk through's at www.digitaldarragh.com/linuxat.asp I've written a post guiding users through the installation of the ESpeak synthesizer in OpenSuSE for use with Orca at http://www.digitaldarragh.com/2008/07/23/InstallingEspeakInOpenSuSE11ForUse… I've also written a walk through for installing Speakup, the console screen reader at http://www.digitaldarragh.com/linux/showpage.asp?section=linux&category=acc… Other audio recordings can be found on the Orca wiki at http://live.gnome.org/Orca Please do not hesitate to contact me either via this list or privately if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or problems.

New OpenSuSE 11 Accessible installation. Audio Walk through now available.
by Darragh 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Greetings all, OpenSuSE 11 has seen the introduction of some great leaps in terms of accessibility in this distribution. When you boot the DVD, you'll hear a short high pitch beep. If you press F9, you'll hear a synthesizer that sounds like a poor quality ESpeak speak the grub menu items such as boot from hard disk, installation, falesafe etc. When you press f2, f3 f4 etc you will again hear the synthesizer speak the items you arrow over. This is a fantastic step and one that I am delighted to see OpenSuSE introduce. However, when I press enter on install, the installation loads in text mode however I don't get any further speech feedback. This is very unfortunate. I've been able to install OpenSuSE 11 using the Gnome live CD. That worked well however the GTK+ version of Yast still has a lot of accessibility related bugs. I unfortunately don't have time to report them all at the moment but I@d love to get around to it soon. Brien, Hans and JP Rosvier set out to make this the most accessible version of OpenSuSE 11. I think they've done a fantastic job. I've posted a few howtos on my website over at www.digitaldarragh.com to guide users through installing ESpeak from source along with Gnome-Speech and Orca from SVN in OpenSuSE so Gnome-Speech can use ESpeak. Any thought's on making the text installlation speak would be very appreciated. Thanks Darragh www.digitaldarragh.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: blinux+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: blinux+help(a)opensuse.org

Hello to everybody I write to this mailing list to look for some help, recently I tried to install openSuse in my pc, I download the is,burn it and I test the DVD with the openSUSE DVD tool, I install SUse with no problems, the problems came after the instalation, the instalation finished and at the end linux did not load the graphic desktop, I selected during the instalation the KDE 4.0. my PC specs are the next: Processor: AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+ Graphic Card: Radeon 9200 PRO MB: Gigabyte NvIDIA GeForce 6100/nForce RAM: KIngston 2GB "Playing" a little bit with the unix language I have tried some commands as kdeinit, but the graphic desktop does not load, but I can give you some details I have seen rare. During the boot when Suse send me to the console I can read this Checking/updating CPU micromode unused and almost in the bottom before hte login it says this: Master Resource Control: runlevel 5 has been reached Skipped services in runlevel 5: microcode.ctl other thing I logged in with root and accesed to yast, inside yast when i go to see hardware I can se that my graphic card it's being recognized bad. It shows me that my VGA is Radeon 5690 and shows me also that there is my graphic card but for secondary displays this is normal to show me a secondary graphic card, It shows me something like this: VGA controller: Radeon 5690 Video Controller: Radeon 9200 PRO (Secondary) and other thing i can tell you is when I write in the console "initkde" the console answers me: kdeinit: Aborting. $DISPLAY is not set So can anybody help me please, I'm a noob with linux, please I hope you could undestand me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: blinux+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: blinux+help(a)opensuse.org

Daniel, You do know that this is a list for discussing assistive software with OpenSuSE such as SBL and other software e.g: Orca, Speakup, BRLTTY etc? Sounds like your asking a graphical question. Are you just seeing a black screen? Do the following: Init 3 Log in as root. Use sax2 --help There's an option in there for starting with vesa modules. I cant remember what it is. Now type sax2 --(Option) replacing the option with that found with the --help command. Here, you can configure your graphics adapter. I'm writing this very briefly on here as it would probably be considered to be off topic however if you need more specific assistance, email me at lists(a)digitaldarragh.com and I'll help.
