Hi, You might be right, I'm not sure. I was using the 7.10 or 8.04 live CD, so hopefully the problem is fixed in newer versions. However, the sighted help said that Orca wasn't running and I certainly had no speech. When I launched it manually, I saw no indication of two copies running. I think it was a bug in the CD though because it worked fine on a different machine with more memory and the instructions for booting with speech were wrong. As I say, I'm sure the problem is fixed in 9.04 but I went with grml instead which I later converted into Debian unstable. I would still like to try Ubuntu again, perhaps in a virtual machine.
