was that control-alt-t? If so you got into the terminal. If you can do
that, first try typing man sudo then hit enter and read. After that
reading, you may get some ideas.

Subject: Re: is ubuntu good?
the main problem I am having on the mate distros is that
administrative apps running as root is not working
this happens on a live distro invirement
I tried control t
as well to go to terminal with same results.
I am unable to find a work around for this
I am not trying to miss spread infomation
but from what I can tell there is no fix for this.
one of the examples I tried is
gparted
when it is ran orca stops speaking when I alt tab away from the window
and back
it says
the hard drive name
gparted is not accessible.
what the heck are people doing to get around this?On 8/18/2015 2:23 AM, Tony

Well, if what you're saying is true, how was I able to do a complete
install by myself without help and why have other people on the Orca list
had the same success? I'm sorry, but you're spreading misinformation.
Please don't do that. If you're having problems, please ask or do some
research, but please don't assume that Ubuntu, MATE or Orca are
automatically at fault. In this case, you didn't press Super-S when the DVD
booted, so Orca didn't start automatically. You shouldn't be running the
partition manager with Alt-F1 or Alt-F2 regardless. You should get a
message spoken when you press Super-S telling you that the screen reader is
running. This is clearly documented on the Ubuntu accessibility wiki page.
The super key is also known as the Windows key. If Super-S doesn't work,
try Super-Alt-S. Also, no, it doesn't run Terminal at all during the
installation. Orca speaks great in the terminal, even as root with sudo.

Hello you may want to give ubuntu mate a try?
how ever you are unable to run the partition manager when you alt f 1 and
go
to the respective program to run it.
think it is running mate terminal wich causes orca to stop speaking have
yet
to find a fix for this wich is causing me to have second thoughts on
ubuntu
mate and mate as a hole have had nothing but problems with it.
