Hi, it would be helpful to try what's available in unstable: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/20140208/images/ so that we can spot whether that's a regression over the past few days, or whether the regression was in the uploaded debian-installer package already. I seem to recall speech synthesis was OK when I uploaded the images, which I tested on amd64. I haven't checked the dailies yet.

Re: problem with speech in latest debian installer dailies
Thank you very much for your quick and helpful reply. I tried the following image and speech as well as braille worked. http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/20140208/images/netboot/mini.iso The image that I tried this morning where speech was not working is http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso The date from this iso was 2014-02-24 05:04 as I tried a newer build from today when I did the testing in my second message. IF there is any more info that I could provide that would be helpful let me know. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: problem with speech in latest debian installer dailies
I apologize for this mix up. The working iso was actually http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-amd64/20140208/images/netboot/gtk/mini.iso. I read somewhere that speech was only on the gtk cd's which is why I used that image although I could be wrong about this as I read it a while ago and things might have changed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Simply see the official Debian Installer documentation: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch05s02.html#idp6206528 It really is the gtk images. By space constraints design, actually. The issue you reported may be related to differing espeak versions, I'm having a look. Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: problem with speech in latest debian installer dailies
I did some testing of the daily builds from d-i.debian.org. It appears that the first one that is broken as far as speech is concerned is http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/20140209-00:16/netboot/gtk/mini.iso I hope this might help narrow down where the bug was introduced. One thing that I also noticed is that a few of the gtk images before this one failed to build, however, the last successful build before the failed builds did have working speech. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-accessibility-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
