Re: installing 2012.10
Although Ubuntu 12.10 is not considered to be accessible out of the box, I believe the installer still works without needing extra help, and once installed, you can configure it to use standard GNOME 3.6. The recommended Ubuntu for accessibility and eyes-free installation is still 12.04 LTS. You could also try one of the Sonar images at http://sonar-project.org/ which is based on Ubuntu 12.04 and then update it to run GNOME 3.6. Hope this helps. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility

Re: installing 2012.10
Sonar is based on Ubuntu 12.04, so the update manager should get you the latest packages, while still allowing you to keep Sonar's modifications, and therefore should update to GNOME 3.6. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: installing 2012.10
Hello, does orca reliably start and work on login screen in 12.10? Once the system is installed using the built-in installer it installs unity I assume. I have never tried to install something else than the default. Can I somehow configure autologin so it will use gnome instead of unity? I know 12.04 is still the recommended however I would like to get the maximum out of available possibilities. In gnome 3.6 accessibility is turned on all the time and I hope this is a big move and hopefully may be helpfull.

Re: installing 2012.10
I'm not sure that Orca is working properly on 12.10's login screen. I could drop it into VirtualBox, but I'll need to download it first. Ubuntu 12.10 will install Unity by default, which has problems with Orca. However, Sonar has a modified installer that will fully install GNOME 3.6 either with or without gnome-shell, depending on the image you download, and configure it to run by default. I'm not 100% sure that Orca speaks the login screen on Sonar, but it should as far as I know. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk -- Ubuntu-accessibility mailing list Ubuntu-accessibility@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-accessibility
Re: installing 2012.10
Hello, Good news I was able to fix my 12.04 installed system. Oh what a shame. That was a verry verry stupid mistake. I have got no free space left on the system partition so the system was unable to even create lightdm session and thus it was displaying an error. So what I did is that I have moved some files to the external drive, rebooted the machine and voila... I am now again using my perfectly working system. Still I am verry curious about new gnome 3.6 accessibility improvements. I will most likelly install it into the virtualbox first. Now a reply to the discussion: is there a sonar distro based off of 12.10 or are you still talking about gnome powered 12.04 derivative which should be easily updated to new gnome?
