How did you actually drive the grub menu, precisely? How do you run your VM? I'm using qemu-system-aarch64 -cdrom mini.iso -m 1G -cpu max -machine type=virt -bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd -device intel-hda -device hda-output -serial stdio -device virtio-gpu-pci -device usb-ehci -device usb-kbd and that comes up talking after pressing s on the virtual USB keyboard or on the serial port (i.e. the graphical window or the terminal) > When I arrow down to the entry that should be "install with speech" I don't > get any output at all on the serial line. You mean after validating in a grub menu that does show up on the serial line? Please be *very* precise in your report, since I have no idea how things are happening on your side. > I've been trying to find the build instructions for the Debian Installer.

Indeed, the sound drivers have not been included in the arm images. When the issue with wxwidgets will be solved, I'll have a try at including them. >>> >>> I have uploaded a test image, could you give it a try from: >>> >>> https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/mini.iso >> >> The first thing to note is that the image does not come up talking at all in >> stock configuration. > > I have updated the image above with the latest kernel from debian, which > now includes sound drivers, could you download it again and try it? I have tried it. I have found that I couldn't, unlike the last image you made, get it to come up talking. However, since I wanted to try to finish the installation process, I did so over a serial connection. On reboot into the installed system it came up talking, when I thought that I'd have to install those bits. I'm not sure how to read your message that I'm replying to hear. Is it that you thought that speech wouldn't work? If so, you are correct, it does not. It seems as though the boot loader isn't including the appropriate kernel options, but I can't tell because when I press 's' it gives me the graphical installer. When I arrow down to the entry that should be "install with speech" I don't get any output at all on the serial line. Thanks for providing us another image to test. I was going to write you mail yesterday, just before you sent this, to ask you to build another. I've been trying to find the build instructions for the Debian Installer. Do you know where I can find them? Best, --FC

Re: Debian Installer Bookworm Alpha 2 release
I am installing with a USB stick.
My user password is correct.
I'll send the logs in a separate email from '/var/log/installer'.
After a while the console with the user account becomes unstable and will
not respond to keyboard input. I am not running the GUI at all. Other
consoles work fine.
A big help would be to include nmcli or nmtui in the utilities installed
with the Debian installer.
Who do I speak to about this?
Also it would be very beneficial if a question be asked during installation
if the user wishes to log into command line or graphical mode.
During the last two installations I didn't have sound for the screen reader
while installing from the ISO image. Fortunately I still had enough vision
to see the screen with a magnifying glass and also run "dpkg-reconfigure
console-setup" as root and make the letters larger on the screen.
More later.

Re: Debian Installer Bookworm Alpha 2 release
Logs should be sent to debian-boot list if memory serves and size doesn't
matter on that list either.
