Ok. This image indeed doesn't have the "speech synthesis" entry in the
menu.  I don't know what script produces it (it's actually a live CD
image, not a debian installer CD), but it should be reported to its
maintainers that it is missing the "speech synthesis" entry that the
installer has.

I had the hard drive slightly out of the machine so the dvd would boot. 
As soon as the dvd started I pushed the hard drive in and locked it. 
Then I hit s  shortly after the bppbeep and waited some time for 
speech to come on and it didn't happen.

Re: debian-installer issues with no wireless network connection after a text based Jessie installation

[Jude DaShiell]

That shouldn't have killed speech post-install for you.  Only thing I 
can suggest is to do what you did before but this time in main menu save 
log files and save them to a mounted file system.  One will be offered 
on the target disk.  If you can get copies of everything in that 
directory and send it in email to debian-boot, they may either find 
errors that need fixing or assist you to get things going the correct 
way.

Hi, I used the S option to get speech during the installation then enabled 
the network console using the loading menu options and then entered in my 
password so had speech the entire installation and was mainly testing out the 
network console.  Are you saying even if I do that and have speech if I 
install using the network console speech will not be turned on after the 
installation even if it is used to start the network console? Nick Gawronski

and it is in the archive for the debian-installer.  I ran the installation

Re: debian-installer issues with no wireless network connection after a text based Jessie installation

A few minutes ago I tried the debian-8.4-x86_64-standard-firmware.iso 
and discovered something else.  If true for all firmware iso being made 
the only way these can be partly installed to the extent originally 
described in this thread is with a console running aan already talking 
operating system since the whole espeakup dependency stack is missing 
from that dvd and I suspect all other firmware dvd's.

It happens with any install. The thinking appears to be:

You used a wired install without selecting a desktop task. That means
you wanted a wired connection after the install.

You used a wired or wireless connection and selected a desktop task.
That means you wanted to use networkmanager.

That's ok up to there. There is some practical sense in it. You will
have connectivity after the first boot and can change what you want.

If you used a wireless onnection and did not select a desktop task
that means you want to select and set up your connectivity software
after first boot. Basically - you were just kidding when you used
wireless to install Debian; you didn't want immediate connectivity
afterwards.

Setting up wireless all over again is good fun when your passphrase
has 63 characters. Copy and paste? You could download gpm but

That is one of the reasons I preseed.

Re: debian-installer issues with no wireless network connection after a text based Jessie installation

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.  If debian's speech is enabled for installation the 
configuration to enable speech for post-install in stock debian 
distributions is copied to the target system by default to help with 
accessibility.

In the general case, the installer (through its netcfg component) should
be copying the network settings over from the installer system to the
installed system.

I'm not familiar with the firmware version of installer images, so I'm
adding the debian-cd@ list to the loop, so that people building those
images can comment on this. They might appreciate if you could extract
the following log file from your system and attach it to an email:

   /var/log/installer/syslog

We might have a missing integration bit to enable non-free packages on
the installation system (this might be by design because of freeness
issues, or maybe an oversight; no idea), or maybe a buggy behaviour.

The log file mentioned above might help them figure out what happened on
your system.

I preseed this in a file with

  d-i netcfg/target_network_config select ifupdown

The same outcome should be possible with an installer boot parameter:

  netcfg/target_network_config=ifupdown

should do it (I think).

The wired network could be added after booting into the new system;
unless you want to do it by preseeding a late_command.

Brian.

as I am totally blind and found that the latest installer once it was 
installed I had no software speech after installing the system.
It depends on how you install your system. If you install you system in 
braille or in "normal" way it's the normal effect.
I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with just a text based 
system mainly for a rescue system for when X windows is down and for 
times when I don't wish to use X windows.  I found that during the 
installation I was able to connect to the internet and successfully 
install the system but once the system was rebooted I had no internet 
access over any network method. 

As I know, It seems there is no link with accessibility in this case.
What would it take for the debian installation to copy the network 
settings from the installer to the target system as it makes no sence 
why networking would be setup and working during a text based 
installation but not in the target system?  What file should I edit to 
add my wireless network as well as my wired network using DHCP so they 
both will work when my text based system boots?  Nick Gawronski

The tips I use is to install a new driver for your Debian system.
For doing something like that you need to follow some steps :
1) Find the model of your card and the related firmware package in 
Debian, if it's a Intel Wireless card it's the package firmware-iwlwifi 

2) Add the backports repo in your environment as explained in this page 
: http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
3) Install the new package with a command like that : "apt-get install 
-t jessie-backports FIRMWARE_NAME"

debian-installer issues with no wireless network connection after a text based Jessie installation

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, I am using the net installer of Jessie version 8.0.0 that includes 
the firmware as I am totally blind and found that the latest installer 
once it was installed I had no software speech after installing the 
system.  I was installing Debian Jessie on my laptop with just a text 
based system mainly for a rescue system for when X windows is down and 
for times when I don't wish to use X windows.  I found that during the 
installation I was able to connect to the internet and successfully 
install the system but once the system was rebooted I had no internet 
access over any network method.  What would it take for the debian 
installation to copy the network settings from the installer to the 
target system as it makes no sence why networking would be setup and 
working during a text based installation but not in the target system?  
What file should I edit to add my wireless network as well as my wired 
network using DHCP so they both will work when my text based system 
boots?  Nick Gawronski
