Package: debian-cd Version: 3.2.1 Severity: normal Tags: d-i a11y X-Debbugs-Cc: phil@hands.com User: debian-qa@lists.debian.org Usertags: openqa Hello maintainers of the installer,As seen on openQA, the speech version of the installer is currently not working.
When booting the daily netinst image, or a weekly live image (in a VM), the following is shown:
<quote> Starting speech synthesis, please wait while we probe your sound card(s)... Found 1 audio card(s), waiting for 1 more second for any other card... Found 1 audio card(s). </quote>When I press a key, I can hear it being spoken, so the speech synthesiser is working properly. However, the installer is not started.
I've tried booting for 'espeak.synth=dummy' instead of 'soft' and then the installer offers me all the languages on the serial console.
Another thing that I tried: * Boot the live image to the GUI (I tested XFCE) * Switch to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) * apt-get install espeakup * Speech is now working (i.e. a keystroke is read aloud) Judging from the history of the openQA builds [1] of the netinst image:After #1081950 got fixed, the message 'E: unimplemented function' disappeared, but the installer still did not start. The oldest run on openQA for the netinst image is from 2024-09-24, this issue was already present by then.
For the live images, the last good build for trixie/testing is from 2024-09-18T20:19:20Z [2], the next build is from 2024-09-25T20:15:17Z [3]. For sid live images, I have a bit more history:The last good build is 2024-09-14T08:19:04Z [4] and the next build is from 2024-09-15T08:14:02Z [5]
I hope this helps in finding the correct package and a possible fix.
