ICEBOX - I had exactly the same problem! But I have just fixed it after several hours of pulling my hair out. I had tried everything I could think of, as well as lots of solutions other people had...
I want to make a customised isolinux.cfg file that will allow a blind user to enter a two letter code at the boot prompt e.g. es (for spanish) that will then determine the locale, language, keyboard...

This release includes a variety of new packages and features, as well as...
I am happy to announce that we have now rebranded Vibuntu as Vinux after
discussion with Canonical about the use of the 'buntu' suffix. They were
happy to let us call it the Ubuntu VI Remix but we...
Sindhu,
There is no specific GUI for festival, but if you want to have text read out Orca, the screen-reader built into Ubuntu can use the festival voices if you open the preferences page and...
You may be right, but I hope you are wrong and the only way to find out is to try and that isn't going to do anyone any harm. With the proliferation of netbooks, linux if getting used by more and...
I have now posted a rough guide to how I made Vibuntu 1.2 from a default
install of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on the Vibuntu Development Blog for
anyone who is interested -...
The USB installer provided in 8.10 will only work with the original Ubuntu CD or an iso image of it. Does anyone know of a way to use it with remastered Ubuntu CD's? For example how does it know it...
Hi, unfortunately I think you are correct! But it is just because of this that I want to make Vibuntu. I hope in the future that we can avoid people falling into this expensive trap in the first...
Because Vibuntu uses a pre-configured user account, the username and password
are retained after an install. This has confused a few people. You can change
both your user name and password after...
I had a message today from a large charity organisation who want to fund the development of a nvda-compatible full-screen magnifier to run on windows from a USB pendrive for third world countries...

I have written a short press release aimed at VI users who may not know about
Linux. I would be grateful if you could post it on any general
accessibility/software sites/forums you use if you think...
Forum Hijacker here! I am pleased to hear you have managed to solve the SAPI/Wine compatibility problems. I presume once you have sapi running in wine you can then install and or run windows sapi...
Vibuntu Wishlist!
Please post any suggestions for additions or changes to Vibuntu on this thread. General discussions/issues should still be posted on the original Vibuntu thread!

The magnifier problem sounds like you have compiz enabled - open the appearances window, navigate to the desktop effects tab and disable desktop effects. Orca magnifier should now work.
In order...
Update: From information gleaned from Orca mailing list it seems that there is a relatively simple fix for the orca/administrator problem which involves creating an orbitrc file for the root user. I...
Re: Vibuntu 1.0 - Ubuntu for the visually impaired!
I have only just started this project, but there seems to be a reasonable amount of interest, and I intend this to be a long term commitment. There is certainly a niche for a mainstream distro which...
Update: I am now working on a bash script that will enable Orca to work during installation. It kills the existing orca session, restarts it using sudo so it works with the root user account and then...
