Problems with gnopernicus and ubuntu

[Henrik Nilsen Omma]

Hello Bram,

I have had the screenreader in gnopernicus working on Ubuntu previously 
with a full hardware install. As it happens I have just done a virtual 
PC install now, so after reading your message I tried installing 
gnopernicus as well. And as with you, it didn't work. Gnopernicus comes 
up but there is no sound. I then tried downloading a music file (ogg) to 
try playing that, but still no sound. So it seems that there is a 
general problem with VirtualPC/Ubuntu and sound. (can anyone confirm this?)

Do you have a chance to try it on a clean machine or at least as a dual 
boot? Hopefully the next version of the Live CD will have gnopernicus 
easily available, so that will make it easier for people to test. You 
might want to try the Live CD now already though. I think you can 
install software from the net while running the Live CD, but you will of 
course loose it when you reboot.

- Henrik
