workaround for installing ubuntu 8.10?

[Mgr. Janusz Chmiel]

Oh Yes,

Only Ubuntu 8.04 hardy Heron was able to automatically launch installation 
program from A boot menu, when user pressed F5, choosed accessibility choice 
for running orca, pressed enter again and thenn user choosed install by 
pressing down arrow for once. But because probably At-spi architecture is 
working differently for Intrepid, todays live CD version of Ubuntu, it will 
be necessary to launch installation program as A root user. In earlyer 
versions, users had reverse problem, Orca runned as a Ubuntu user, and 
installation program run like a Root. Now, is probably all working 
viceversa, but problem is similar, Orca and installation program are working 
as A different user accounts. There is may be one possibility.

Please, try to normally boot to A gnome without trying to access 
accessibility options by pressing F5. After Gnome will be completely loaded 
in The RAM, press Alt+F2, run Orca, complete setup questions, do not answer 
yes when Orca will ask You to logout, press Enter key instead and then press 
CTRL+ALT+Backspace to restart our popular Xserver, Gnome.

After Gnome will be loaded, run Orca again, YOu should hear The Speech.

Then try to type exactly A following command to The edit field inside run 
application dialog box accessed by pressing ALT+F2.

sudo ubiquity --desktop %kgtk_ui

Will Orca provide speech support inside installation program? If no, try to 
create The desktop icon in Gnome and save this link to a USB flash drive, 
and try to use command line which I wrought previously for creating this 
desktop icon.

If You will not be able to use installation program, try The last think, run 
The command from A terminal window,

Activate this Window by activating run application dialog box and type

gnome-terminal

And when terminal window will appear, type A command, which I described 
previously.

Please if someone will receive error, describe this here, please provide Me 
a Feetback.

The kindness regards.
