Does ubuntu-gnome have accessibility support for, installation?

[Ivan Ivanov]

Yes, I accept the idea that accessibility options have to be promoted and explained in the Wiki. Good! I think this should be a blueprint and we have enough time to achieve this.

Ali is offline, but we can discuss this and the documentation team (where I am) can do this.

That is, as both of you say, guys, very important. One of the best things about GNOME is its accessibility features. We should promote them and explain them on the wiki.   
  
Also, if we could re enable that sound, that would be great.

      Hello james
      
 
      
 it seemed that ubuntuGnome uses the same installer as ubuntu does, and since tim confirmed it last night, i went for a vm install.
      
 
      
 I did the vm settings and powered on the machine, and i waited for the drum sound of ubuntu installation.
      
 (it plays a drum sounds when the screen loads up)
      
 i waited for 5 minutes, and it still didn't play the drum sound. so i decided to press control+s, and immediately i got speech feedback. and ScreenReader kicked in.
      
 it was the screen which you can decide if you want to run ubuntu live or press the install button.
      
 I installed the system, and after system reboot ScreenReader automaticly kicked in, and everything was setup already!
      
 
      
 gnome-orca (which seems that was
 renamed to screenreader BTW) is extremely speedy on gnome, (it comes with gnome)..
      
 it is laggy on unity, and makes navigation hard in that desktop manager.
      
 I expect more blind and visually impaired people coming toward ubuntuGnome, as it installs ubuntu plus latest gnome without any hassles or extra configurations, so i believe a wiki page that states that ubuntuGnome comes with speech installation helps.
      
 
      
 p.s it would be awesome if a sound could be played when the installation screen comes up.
      
 
      
 Cheers

Hello

Please excuse me if this question has been asked before on this 
mailinglist, I'm a new User.

I wanted to know, that does UbuntuGnome come with accessibility options 
for installation like ubuntu does?
In this case, speech-guided installation, for visually impaired. In 
ubuntu, at the boot screen, hitting  control+S fires up the speech 
guided installation, so blind and visually impaired users can install 
the system as well. then after the installation,  gnome-orca (the 
screenreader), will automaticly run.

I'm really interested to run ubuntu gnome, as Unity is extremely laggy 
when navigating with orca
  Gnome-orca has been improved a lot in gnome 3.8 as well, that's also 
one of the reasons that i'm eager to install this distro.

Cheers
Thanks.

 It does, but I don't think that it's as simple as pressing CTRL + S.
 When I started the installation from a VM, I had to select a language first, and then press F5 for accessibility options.
 This gives you a list that you select from with the arrow keys.
 I've attached a screenshot of the list. (Obviously if you're visually impaired I understand that this doesn't help, but if you're not I thought I should be as complete as possible.)
 
      
 


 Good luck, and keep us posted if you try the install and learn more.
 I would like to add info about this to our wiki pages.
      
 


 Someone else should also test this in case I'm missing something. :)
