Congratulations to the Debian Developers on the release of Bullseye. I just tried installing with the non-free firmware AMD64 net install CD and the installed system is still inaccessible using the regular user account It is accessible using root account, and MATE graphic User Interface will run using root, but it will not run using the user account.
Only my system, I know the second sound card is the correct card, so I wait until the installer asks a second time if that's the card I want to use, I press ENTER to select it. I truthfully don't remember if the screen reader was working during the installation, but I doubt it, so let's put down a "no", I did the accessible installation by looking at the screen. A good improvement would be to configure the screen using the large VGA fonts by selection in the installer. When the system was installed, I was unable to log in as user, but only as root. There was NO username/.xsession_files or username/.Xsession_files or anything like that. I have uploaded by /var/log files and the installation log files from this installation here: http://qsl.net/n1ea/debianbullseysreleasevarlog.tar.gz http://qsl.net/n1ea/install.logs.tar.gz Best regards, David On Sun, Aug 15, 2021 at 11:23 PM Angus Mackinnon <[email protected]> wrote: > > > https://www.theregister.com/2021/08/16/debian_11_bullseye_released/ > > Debian 11 formally debuts and hits the Bullseye11,294 packages added, > 9,519 removed, and five years of support starting … now! > > The Debian project has released the eleventh version of its Linux > distribution. > > Code-named “bullseye”, the new distro emerged on Saturday and will be > supported for five years, a lifecycle made possible by its use of version > 5.10 of the Linux kernel which is itself a long-term support release that > will be maintained until the year 2026. > > New features that the project saw fit to single out as noteworthy include > > - Native support for exFAT filesystems is now a part of the kernel, > rather than requiring use of the separate FUSE driver; > - Support for the GNOME Flashback desktop environment if installed as > part of the task-gnome-flashback-desktop package.
