Re: new 10.3 install, Gnome, screen reader starts talking then system appears to freeze, how can I troubleshoot?
I'm not sure what you are referring to with "install Debian with speech". The live USB boots, I hit S , and the text installer starts.

Thanks Alex. Under Debian-testing, build uploaded 2020/03/09: Mate speaks correctly. My first Linux desktop. I suspect Debian 10.3 would be fine. Gnome. Same failure result, speaks a few words then nothing. Enter, Alt+Tab, Super+Tab, Alt+F2 orca --replace, nothing. I guess Debian's defaults are the defaults for a reason. Here I thought Gnome (Gnome 3) would have fewer bugs than Mate, a fork of Gnome 2. I can imagine an incompatibility, but orca under Gnome does speak a few words. I'd be willing to try some log collecting to perhaps diagnose Gnome 3. The Ubuntu 19.10 live CD has never spoken, considering their speech shortcut is Super+Alt+S, they are probably using a similar subsystem that just doesn't like my sound.

Re: new 10.3 install, Gnome, screen reader starts talking then system appears to freeze, how can I troubleshoot?
Thanks Jude for the response. On one attempt, after I hear "screen reader on" I tried Alt+F2, orca --replace, still silent. On the next attempt, after I hear "screen reader on, 13 push button", I do nothing. About four minutes later, I hear "panel. long pause. panel. 13 push button grayed". No keys speak. I also try the Alt+F2, orca --replace and nothing happens. Let's talk about software selection. SSH server and standard utilities are constant, let's leave those out of this discussion. I have consistently chosen just "Gnome". Do I need to choose both "Gnome" and "Debian desktop environment"? I have no idea what Debian desktop environment is, because the other environment choices are very specific like Gnome, KDE and Mate.

new 10.3 install, Gnome, screen reader starts talking then system appears to freeze, how can I troubleshoot?
Hello, I installed Debian 10.3 to a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive is a brand new, higher end Samsung USB, that I just bought for this purpose. This USB boots. I hear one beep (MBR boot?) then Orca speaks (or, I think its Orca): screen reader on, 13 push button [word] I missed the final word. I think "13" refers to the day of the month. Then the system stops responding. Enter, Super+Alt+S, Super+Tab, or Alt+Tab yield nothing. I think the system has frozen. This is not inside a virtual machine. The CPU is 64-bit, and I have 16 GB of RAM. When I was using the text installer, I chose Gnome (menu choice 2) along with SSH (11) and standard utilities (12). I believe I can find a way to mount the USB drive and review logs. What can I review to help narrow this down? Alan
