need help with a program install please


Recommended Posts

Packaging now fixed, sorry for messing it up in the first place.

Remove previous package by typing:

sudo dpkg -r magnifier

Re-download the file attached and install it again by proceeding the same way as done in the previous install.

Regards.

magnifier.zip

Consider this problem Solved. Nice job and props to you guys for the help and patience with this noobie to linux. I got this bad boy backed up and if i need to reload ubuntu its one of the first programs to go back on.

Is there a way to put this in the start up folder of ubuntu? The reason I ask, I THINK that is the only way you can configure a shortcut key to open. Think on windows I used ctrl+alt+z. If not thats just fine. I have driven you guys nuts long enough. Have a nice day.

Sure there is. In the menu at the top of the screen choose:

System > Preferences > Sessions

A dialog will appear. In the Startup Programs tab press the +Add button, then type:

Name: magnifier

Command: /usr/bin/vmg

Comment: Screen magnifier

done

Also checkout the options included with GNOME in the menu at the top of the screen choose:

System > Preferences > Universal Access

It's also possible to create a shortcut on desktop like it is described in a previous post.

No worries, we are here to help. Just feel free to ask any time you need, regards.

You are welcome.

Regarding your question, I believe some people are working on a robot powered by Debian for those kinds of tasks (still in development). Till then please motivate kids to complete the task by saying something in the lines of "kids pick up the room or no video games for a week!". That should be able to resolve the issue.

Regards.
