Marketplace / Re: Building a new system - please help!

« on: July 26, 2008, 03:47:43 pm »

Hi,
I am delighted to hear that people that are legally blind are looking into using LimuxMCE. I too am legally blind and set up an accessibility section in the Wiki. Things you should know:
- Accessibility is largely untested
- Magnification is crucial
- A gnome enviornment as opposed to KDE would be great. I mean, use KDe for the base and then add on top a gnome desktop.
- You may at this point be better off with Mithbuntu for what you want to do. Accessibility is much better for surfing the internet and possibily music playback.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact me via private message or reply to this thread.
Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Installation issues / Black screen with HP Invent with Mvedia Gforce Graphics Card

« on: July 05, 2008, 09:18:07 pm »

Hi,
I am using VGA as my connection and can't see the AV wizard. Hahaha, well I am blind so I can't see it anyway, but it doesn't come up as far as I could tell with my limited vision and sighted friends say it doesn't. Kubuntu worked fine. Everything was displayed. I installed from CD.

Now it boots, shows the Kubuntu splash screen and some code and then drops the signal to my monitor and beeps.

I can only get it to work under S-video. I have tried DVI, VGA, and S-video. VGA used to work when I installed Linuxmce under Edubuntu 7.10.

My Video card is a HP pci-e nvidia gforce 7500le Comanche graph.

I am also having trouble with my tuner card. It is a Wintv-hur-1600 74551lf.

Thanks for your help,

Help Wanted / Solved Almost: Re: Restart upmp media server fuppesd on a HP Invent

« on: July 02, 2008, 07:35:00 am »

Yes, Edubuntu has issues, but I got it: It works with Linux MCE with KDE installed. Only thing is that I have to start it by hand. I'll try Kubuntu though and then install the "Edubuntu desktop". Also my sorces.list file appears broken.

Thanks,

Hi,

I installed the KDE packages before LinuxMce. What does the error mean. It seems to disappear in a few hours, and mce works fine.

Installation issues / Restarting upmp media server fuppesd on a HP invent

« on: June 26, 2008, 04:34:53 am »

Hi,

I installed Linuxmce from cd on a clean edubuntu 7.10 install. I use an HP invent. Linuxmce installed fine but after the av wizard finishes and I press "I agree", the whole thing goes funny. It says a bunch of stuff, the last line of which is "Restart upmp media server fuppesd". What should I do?

Thanks,
Alex A.
