Re: Debian Install Suggestions

You are asked for the name and password of your Wi-Fi router during installation. Did you select this when installing? You are given the choice of Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection, if you pick Wi-Fi, you will see a list of possible connections, if you select yours, you will be prompted for a password if needed.

But when you've installed, you have to connect again and supply the information.

What are you using to try to connect to WiFi?

There are nmtui and nmcli for console, and MATE has ORCA and a GUI network program.

David

Hello all.

Thank you i didn't know that there is a firmware non free cd netinstaller.

But my problem is that even when I try to install a firmware version it cannot find a wi-fi network after the installation process.

My laptop is toshiba satellite l500-12m, i used windows from 7 to 10 on it before. What can I do? How can I find the needed drivers? The managers can see the network but they cannot connect to it.

Can be that problem because of my wi-fi router is a usb one?

SP,

Here from the Debian Wiki on accessible installation.

5.2.4. Software Speech Synthesis

Support for software speech synthesis is available on all installer images which have the graphical installer, i.e. all netinst, CD and DVD images, and the netboot gtk variant. It can be activated by selecting it in the boot menu by typing s Enter. The textual version of the installer will then be automatically selected, and support for software speech synthesis will be automatically installed on the target system.

If several sound cards are detected, you will be prompted to press Enter when you hear speech from the desired sound card.

The first question (language) is spoken in english, and the remainder of installation is spoken in the selected language (if available in espeak).

The default speech rate is quite slow. To make it faster, press CapsLock+6. To make it slower, press CapsLock+5. The default volume should be medium. To make it louder, press CapsLock+2. To make it quieter, press CapsLock+1. To get more details on the browsing shortcuts, see the Speakup guide. To just accept the default answer for a question, simply press Enter at the prompt. To provide an empty answer for a question, type ! at the prompt. To get back to the previous question, type < at the prompt.

Here is the image I recommend. I'm not a free software purist, I just want a system that works.

To get the install CD:

wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/current/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-10.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso

Remember to press s as described above and then to follow the instructions to press RETURN when you hear the sound on your computer.

After installing, get the multimedia gpg key.

wget http://www.deb-multimedia.org/pool/main/d/deb-multimedia-keyring/deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb && dpkg -i deb-multimedia-keyring_2016.8.1_all.deb

I include an updated /etc/apt/sources.list file, save the one you have using root to move to sources.list to sources.list.orig and then saving this one as sources.list.

File attached.

Update and upgrade.

David
