Most releases do not change after release, however, since 12.04 is an LTS release it will receive updates to the cd. When 12.04.1 releases, the image will be an updated image. This means it has all the updates included up to the week of release. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.

Here is a page which should hopefully be helpful to you. http://askubuntu.com/questions/28086/what-are-unitys-keyboard-and-mouse-shortcuts Ubuntu no longer uses GNOME 2.x as its default desktop; it now uses its own desktop which is called Unity. Unity has two variants, Unity-2D and Unity-3D. Unity-2D is by far the most accessible, but it is evidently being dropped as of Ubuntu 12.10. When you boot your live Ubuntu system, you can press CTRL+S when you hear the sound of a bongo drum in order to start Orca. doing this will also place you into an Unity- at d session. The Applications, Places, and System menus which you are probably used to no longer exist in Unity. I wish that I could write more at this time, but I need to head off. I hope that the little information in this e-mail is helpful to you. Take care.

Anyone that in the past were loading the bridge should depend on that library. So thats include: * gtk3 (already ported) * gnome-shell (already ported) * Unity (work in progress, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1023542) * Firefox (when it gets migrated to gtk3, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627699) > Installing gtk 3.5 in Ubuntu atm doesn't bring that service in and gtk > triggers warning, I'm unsure if one of the at-spi libs should depends > on the service or if gtk itself should do it > gtk3.5 should bring that service for any "usual" gtk application (ie: gedit, etc). Unity will not bring that service (see bug before). Mozilla should still be working as it is still using gtk2. That warning is caused because gtk3 atk-bridge module is already there, but it will be removed soon (bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=678315) BR -- Alejandro Piñeiro Iglesias From gervin at cableone.net Mon Jul 16 03:11:42 2012 From: gervin at cableone.net (Lenny) Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2012 22:11:42 -0500 Subject: Vinux with Voxin Message-ID: Hi, I have been installing Vinux onto a thumb drive, an 8GB thumb drive. Every time I try to install Voxin, it will sometimes act like it installed okay, and other times, the Voxin does not install, in fact, the speech goes out in the middle of the install. I have tried it using the USB install, using their USB installer program. This is the stable version, using Ubuntu 10.04. I have tried both Voxin 0.37, and Voxin 0.41. Is there a reason that it would not install onto a thumb drive? I downloaded the CD version, and although it was too big to overburn onto my 700 MB CDs, I burned it onto a DVD, and it runs okay. With the USB version, it will boot okay, and I can change Orca's voice settings, but as soon as I then go into installing Voxin, it quits working. I have tried a 2GB persistence, as well as a 3GB and a 4GB. The way I install Voxin is to copy the extracted folder into /home/ and then I go into terminal, and after running sudo su, I run: bash voxin-installer.sh and that normally works well, but I haven't gotten it to work on this thumb drive. I am running a more recent version of Vinux in a netbook as a dual-boot system, and Voxin works well on that system. I have used this Voxin with Ubuntu 10.04 as well. So it seems to me that it is the thumb drive. Any ideas?

I was using sb audigy soundcard as a main systems device. Using pulseaudio device chooser I was able to transfer the speech-dispatcher output to the built-in soundcard. The resulting effect is that I had all the music, system sounds, yotube skype etc playing through the loud speakers connected to the main soundcard and speech-dispatcher output playing through the headphones connected to the second sound card. Is there a way to do this with ubuntu 12.04 if yes can you give me some advices? It appears package padevchooser is not available for ubuntu 12.04.

I havent figured yet how to move playing stream to different output device. BTW by experimenting I have found out speech-dispatcher input source has most likelly always id of 1. Most likelly sink index of default audio device is 0 so in order to switch speech-dispatcher to the first non-default sound device I can type pacmd move-sink-input 1 1 of course these numbers may change I have just verified in two independent machines running ubuntu 12.04 and it lead me to this exact command.
