Hello Nick, lists, Issues regarding the live images should go to [email protected] (but I'm subscribed to all lists you've used)
Thank you for providing details that help me to try to reproduce your issue. See also my talk at about helping with test recipes: https://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2026/MiniDebConf-Hamburg/hamburg2026-44-onboarding-in-debian-improving-debian-with-high-visibility-low-effort.av1.webm On 12/05/2026 07:43, Nick Gawronski wrote:
Trying to use the Trixie live iso image with speech is presenting several major chalenges for me
Which trixie live iso image are you using? I tried the 13.4 image from https://get.debian.org/images/release/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-13.4.0-amd64-gnome.iso Next weekend the 13.5 image will be released. Unfortunately the 13.0 image was broken.
First, the gnome system does allow the starting of orca with windows key and alt and s to launch speech.
That works for me. However, there is no automatic boot in GRUB and no audible notification that GNOME is up and running. It takes a while to boot into GNOME.
Second, I get in this totally unusable tour of the gnome desktop that orca will not allow me to exit out of
When I press 'Skip' (or press 'enter'), the tour stops properly.
from the very few times I have managed to get terminal open and run nmtui my non-free wireless networking card does connect to the wireless network.
Do you mean the application 'GNOME terminal' or a tty like Ctrl-Alt-Fx? All non-free-hardware is included in the live image. Can you provide details about your wireless card?
Once I am in terminal orca does not automatically read the output of the screen as I had expected it to
That works for me as well. (After I've pressed Windws-Alt-S when the tour dialog is shown) Unfortunately, so far, I've been unable to reproduce your issues. However, you've given me a recipe for an automated test, so I'll try to add that to our openQA test suite. I stop answering your questions now, because I think that you are using a too old live image. With kind regards, Roland Clobus Co-maintainer of the Debian live images
