Bug#1002921: installation-reports: No Screen Reader, Cannot boot into MATE GUI, Root only can

["D.J.J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea@arrl.net>]

I made a new partition for /home and I reinstalled Debian, this time I could lot in to MATE and I could log into the CLI.

But the issue remains of after the Installation disk detects my sound card, it seems to find my sound card, but immediately after finding it, no further sound is heard.

This remains.

Thanks for the help.

I believe I have already done what you are speaking of.

I have /home/djringjr.

At first I reused this, the installer permits NOT formatting a separate /home partition.  That's what I did.

I had problems I could not log in as my regular named user using my old /home/djringjr files.

Then I reran the installer - again no sound during accessible installation, This time I made up a brand new never before user name.

The result was the very same, I could not log in with my user account, only root.

What is your next suggestion?

There is an installer issue, not having speech during an accessible installation is an installer issue .

Making a brand new user account and not being able to log in might be something else.  Where do I go to get this part fixed?

Thanks,

David

When performing a default installation it is known, that logging in as a normal user.

So, if you have over and over the same issue, using that unusual installation
concept (re-using pre-existing home data), which is not officially supported by
the installer, you should probably try a default install, without any old-home-data
tricks - just for a test.

If that works, you could then carefully merge your home data back into the new
system.


In summary, this all is not an installer issue, by the way.
