Hello Holger Wansing, Thanks for helping me with these problems.
Here are my answers to my best ability to answer them. 1. Cannot boot into MATE GUI means that I cannot boot into the MATE Graphical User Interface with the user account - which is what is expected to happen after a normal successful installation. I did some investigation into this. This is what I did: . I disabled lightdm using systemctl disable lightdm then more recently I used the root command "systemctl set-default multi-user.target" and now I see I cannot even log in as my regular user. I tried a new named user and did the same installation, I had the very same problems with the new username. My /home/djringjr/ folder was used successfully with the last Debian Buster release. If I reinstall the last Debian 10 firmware which I had been using prior to Bullseys 11.0 release which also failed in the exact same way, everything is excellent, my sound card is detected during accessible installation, when I boot i go to the lightdm screen and I can log in as my regular user. I also have sound as my regular user in GUI and also I have ORCA in the GUI. I have entered the root account and re-entered my useraccount password. I have done this several times. Remember this also happened when I had an entirely new user account with a newly made /home/newuser folder. When installing for my normal user account, I do not format /home/myuser folder. I know the username password is correct because as root I enter "su myusername" and I am in user account, then from my user account, I type "su myusername" and I receive a prompt for my password. I have further checked by entering an incorrect password and received "authentication failure" response. root@debian:~# su djringjr djringjr@debian:/root$ su djringjr Password: [I enter the correct password\ djringjr@debian:/root$ exit exit djringjr@debian:/root$ su djringjr Password: [I enter an incorrect password\ su: Authentication failure djringjr@debian:/root$ You asked me to state the problems again, here they are. 1. During installation I chose accessible text installation, the installer appeared to detect my sound card, but after that I hear no sound from the screen reader. I do not use a Braille device, so I cannot comment on Braille. I still have limited vision, so I was able to finish the installation. When I rebooted, I had screen reader, but there were additional problems. I also tried the live DVD to install and I had the exact problems. I believe I tried the 11.0 release with firmware four or five times, and I have tried the 11.2 firmware release at least four times, and the 11.2 live release twice, all gave me the exact same problems. The system was unusable as regular user in every case except it WAS usable in the console if I logged in as root, then logged in as username. 2. I cannot log in as my user account into console. This also means had I not disabled graphical user log on with lightdm, I would not be able to log on to the MATE GUI as is the subject of my error report. 3. I can log into my root account in console, and before I disabled lightdm I was able to log in with lightdm to the MATE GUI, however, running orca -s says no speech available. See the error file I produced by running "orca -s 2> orcaerrors" then interrupting the terminal with control-c. I also get multiple AT-SPI errors which are in the attached orcaerrors file. .
