Hi greg, You don't need to start gnopernicus from a text console. the way I do it is login to gnome, then press alt-f2 to bring up the run dialogue. I then type gnopernicus and press enter. gnopernicus hsould come up taling if you have gnome-speech configured properly.

Since I have a bell character in my /etc/issue, I am assuming that's where the beep in question comes from. I then go ahead and login, by typing my username and password as usual. After that, I hear a very small amount of hd activity, just like I do when logging in on a text console. > > I then try to do ctrl+alt+f1 to get a text console to start gnopernicus, but I don't get a text console.
