Re: debian stretch testing findings
Hi, I upgraded from Jessie and am not sure what happened as I do lose
speakup as packages are being upgraded. I let the hard drive stop
making noise and then powered off and back on the system and was able to
kind of finish the upgrade process. Now when the system boots up I hear
all of the boot messages but I am placed either into an accessible login
screen with orca or lose speech all together and control and alt and f1
does not bring me to the console. I did a fresh installation of Jessie
before doing the upgrade process. Orca was working in Jessie but I do
the upgrading using speakup. Nick Gawronski

I was able to install debian-stretch-testing using the 3.5MM jack

to get a wifi network setup working using command line instructions
and wpa_passphrase to add to wpa_supplicant.conf. I got a start job
is running related to bringing up the network after trying that.
While inside mate, screen reader only works for user accounts and I
need talking root access to configure the network using mate. Since
debian does not save any detected network configuration files so far
as I can tell during installation one almost has to do the network
configuration post-install.
When I tried that install of mini.iso earlier I didn't change priority
notifications from medium to low so if a kernel was installed I didn't
hear any choices for it.
I'll try what I did in sonar with debian and see if I can get root
access that way.
If I remember properly I logged in as user; got a terminal, used su -
in terminal and entered root password. Then hit control-alt-tab and
got the top bar menu and went from there into internet and configured
wifi network.
Now I'm going to clear the junk I created with the command line
failure so I start from a known state when I try this next procedure.
