My Trouble Starting Ubuntu 12.04?

[Krishnakant Mane]

hi Dave,
Wondering what has gone wrong?
I tryed my usb pen drive both on a netbook and on a machine with I5 
processor with 3 gb ram.
My netbook has 2gb ram.
I made the disk with a sighted assistant using the USB startup disk creater.
I absolutely have no problems.
I hear the drums sound.
As I mentioned before, I wait for about 3 or 4 minutes and select try 
Ubuntu by just pressing tab and then enter.
I again do some guessing and then I press alt + f2 and type orca and hit 
enter.
Now just logout and I get the drum sound.
Press ctrl + s and wait for a minute or so and you will hear Orca start 
talking and every thing is fine from now.
I press tab, then enter followed by shift + tab to hear Orca say unity 2dd.
Again press enter to select it and come back to username.
type Ubuntu and press enter.
Hit enter for password.
Here I don't get the login music.
I am pritty sure though that it does not take more than 15 seconds and I 
again press alt +f2 and type orca and enter.
Now I get all accessibility on Unity 2d.
Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
