This is generally true, Greg, and I get that, but every new version,
which should just continue what works, doesn't cuz somebody moved a
config file and last years fix doesn't work this year. And you can't
ask for help when its not working. So YOU have to fix it based of what
YOU know works. Makes one wonder about the motives.
I use host files and I don't have that problem.
And where, if you don't have a network, did you find the info to fix
it?, when two junk 2T seagates around 6 weeks old die in the same week,
making one start from square one with a new bookworm install? And
install that pulled in and enabled orca and brltty and which could not
be rebooted once they were disabled. You could only reinstall to reboot,
which I did 22 times before someone suggested unplugging any
usb<->serial adapters, the installer was assuming I was blind and NEVER
ASKED ME if I wanted them.
Have you, I assume with decent hearing, ever tried to use a computer
that is locked up and spending about a second for every key press by
announcing in a barely understandable but loud voice, every key's
identity as they are being pressed? Distraction is a wholly inadequate
description. I rest my case on that one.
Take care & stay well John.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
