debian firmware July 22, 2020 install
Hi Jud, What kind of computer is this by chance. I ask as I have tried installing debian with the standered install though I am using the non free firmware it still complans about nededing wifi drivers, but downloading the firmware driver set from the debian site and then using the advance installer works. Any ideas? Thanks. Matthew I had gone with the default software selection of 1,6,10,12 for accessibility. Speakup says ok on booting and nothing else until I ctty into tty1 then I get a login prompt and can log into the system. orca does not come up talking when system is allowed to run until the disk drive goes silent. Using orca -e is ineffective. Will it be possible to have orca come up talking on this system and if not I hope I'll be able to remove the debian desktop environment and mate. Haven't tried that yet since I'm to move and haven't got time to do much with computers for a few days. -- .
Hi all, Not sure if this should go to the users list but here is the question.
Hi all, Just rejoined this list today. I am wanting to nstall Debian testing or stable depending on what can be done about the following. I have an hp note book which is only a couple of years old and I have since replaced windows 10 with ubuntu and now I am looking to install Debian, but here are couple of questions. First, the first ime I tried to do the install, I used the nonfree firmware version as I figured that would have the drivers it might need, but during the detecting of hardware I was told that I would need a driver which I can't remember the modle name of rite now, but any how, with ubuntu and orca, is there a way to get the modle name of my wifi driver so that I can search for it. Second, this has to do with the installer itself, I notesed when looking at the expert installer, you can select an opsion by typing in a number of the opsion you want, but when looking at manual for the install, it metions using the arrow keys to move through the choices. Am I missing something? Thanks. Just thought I would point this out since I have always used the normal opsion for the install. One other thing, is the gtk installer accessible with speech? It has never been mentioned that I remember so thought I would ask about it. Matthew
Not sure if I should report it hear but be careful not remove mate as a opsional removle package in buster/unstable/sid.
Hi all. Not sure if I should report this here or not, but this morning, I updated my debian unstable box and as an orca user of mate, I saw that mate desktop was listed as an opsional removle package. After updating the packages that needed to be upgraded, I ran sudo apt-get autoremove and mate desktop and libreoffice were both removed from my system. I can reinstall these packages ofcorse, but I wanted to bring it up to anyone who may be upgrading there buster/unstable/sid system. Not sure if this was ententional or not, but if not, this should be reported. Thanks. Just thought I would report this. Thanks again. Mattheqw Sent from Mail for Windows 10
Hi all new member
Hi all. My name is Matthew Dyer and I have just joined this list for watching the accessibility of debian devlopment. I am also on a few of the other debian lists as well. I am using orca which brings up a question. Is there a reason why debian 8.3 is using orca 3.14 when orca is now up to 3.18.2. Just wondering. I am ffinding that in icedove that orca doesn't tell me that a conversation is expanded when pressing the right arrow key to expand. I just find this strange. Just my observation for now. Thanks. Matthew
