Re: Lenovo Thinkpad P16s Gen3 espeakup support (Was: Heads-up: please look at the proposed fix, Was: No speech in the alpha Installer, and speech freeze in Bookworm)



Hi,

Great news, thanks! The complaining and/or modalias-based stuff will
have d-i pick them up later on anyway.

(I'm leaving the question around firmware-intel-sound's metadata for
later.)

Re-used/adapted some logic in debian-installer.git, see speech-support
branch (the commit message sucks, and at least that would need some
editing before merging into master).

See kibi/for-master for the debian-cd side (patch 2/3 compared to
current master).

(also contains partman-crypto fun, unrelated, but one build/stone, two
bugs/birds, right?)

I've at least confirmed I can `modprobe i915` manually…


Cheers,
