I tried trixie on an acer spin #713 chromebook with disasterous results for
accessibility. Putting this in context chromevox is barely useable in bookworm
many times it says too much output to announce when installing packages. To
cover for that, https://github.com/tspivey/tdsr is useful. tdsr
Many other linux flavors connect through our wi-fi network with no problem.
Debian for whatever reason cannot connect. I learned this trying to install
bookworm and I have no ethernet available. How is our wi-fi network so
misconfigured that debian cannot get to the internet?
The part of the code used to connect a computer to wi-fi after passphrase
has been entered is defective. It cannot be used to connect to any wi-fi
network in the neighborhood and no ethernet connection is available. That
is why this computer uses a variant of archlinux called Jenux.

I moved to a new location where wi-fi connection fails. In old location
wi-fi connection was successful so driver for card already comes with
debian bookworm.
The network is found and I select wpa psk and key in the password when
prompted and the installer goes through trying to connect and cannot

If dummy was used for monitor type, the screen reader could come up
talking without any monitor attached. Many linux distros including
debian can get a monitor turned on and off during operation and don't
let a screen reader know now we have a working monitor and now we don't
have a working monito
Another possibility could be to have the installer check for a monitor
and if no monitor is connected, turn on a screen reader.

Apple solved this problem back in 2006. That was when Mac OS Tiger 10.4
became available. What Apple did was to put a message asking for
language to be used on the screen for about 10 seconds I think. If that
message didn't get a keyboard response then VoiceOver got turned on

First the log files I tried to get the system to save in /mnt were not
saved and those choices got made using the debian main menu.
I checked the disk integrity and the disk was found to be valid.
I installed the mate desktop using the defaults in software selection.
On boot, I get two voices first
Where can I download a validation file for this release? I'll be testing
the amd64 iso. I like to run sha512sum on isos before I test to ensure I
have a good download of the iso so I don't submit any bogus bug reports
caused by a less than perfect iso download.

If in the course of a debian install I need to execute a shell and logs

The least debian-boot membership could do would be to have a note come
up for installers to execute a shell and do the file copy before
rebooting once hard drive got mounted. This is a problem for wifi users
with no impact for ethernet users.

A few minutes ago I tried the debian-8.4-x86_64-standard-firmware.iso

I don't know if preserving installation logs menu selection captures an
additional entry when debian's speech is enabled for an installation or
not. If so preserving log files and saving to a mounted file system
would show whether or not debian speech was enabled for firmware install
or not.
Windows 10 was probably why you didn't get speech post-install.
Starting debian with the s boot parameter turns on speech that debian
produces for the installation then by default keeps speech turned on
post-install. Use of a console with windows 10 enabled you to get the

I managed to install kali linux which is a security-minded fork of
debian and default is a desktop interface post-install. I used speakup
in text mode to do the whole installation too in the usual manner.
