What version of Ubuntu should I be installing? I have version “ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso”. I have a few earlier versions but all of them kee wanting me to update. I am new to anything Linux and I am not sure what I am facing when I try to update. character is found in how you treat people who cannot do anything for you! *** From: Linux for blind general discussion Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2018 8:26 PM To: Linux for blind general discussion Subject: Re: Installing Ubuntu on an AMD HP Laptop In earlier versions of Ubuntu drums would play when it was ready for a login. Maybe a way around this would be for espeak to run in command line environment to get a log in and then perhaps a user could run startx to bring up a graphical display and perhaps start orca. You could also try orca -s after keying in alt-f2 or alternatively orca -r to replace whatever is running and start orca again from scratch. discussion wrote: > Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2018 18:11:46 > From: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Installing Ubuntu on an AMD HP Laptop > > Hello, > > I tried this already but I didn't hear anything.
