Hello, Could you please indicate your first name when posting? I am not comfortable speaking to anonymous and this list don't preserve senders' address. You can increase swap, but I doubt that changes something as the system should need less RAM in console mode that in graphical mode, at least if you use startx to start mate. I will try to investigate on the sound issue, however I don't have USB speakers to try. Does the same issue occur if you use another page like most instead of less? About the installation logs, they go in /dev/tty4, that you can hear during installation typing Alt+F4 However, this is not very useful as you can't scroll. This is set in /etc/syslog.conf in the installer, so could be changed there. When the system is running the logs go partly in /var/log/syslog, partly in /var/log/messages, both are text files readable by root. You can also type as root dmesg|less or dmesg|most to check the messages from starting the system. Thanks for your reports so far.

Could swap partition size be under-stated for screen readers? I have a root partition of 1996GB and a linux-swap partition of 4GB and available memory on the machine ram is 1GB. I'll try taking the swap partition size up and see if this problem goes away. > > On Wed, 3 Jan 2018, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > >> Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2018 02:03:31 >> From: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >> To: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >> Subject: Re: slint release install findings >> >> When I ran the slint release earlier it was on only one set of speakers. >> Adding the usb speaker set to the system had no effect on speech output quality. >> >> On Wed, 3 Jan 2018, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: >> >>> Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2018 01:34:10 >>> From: Linux for blind general discussion <blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> >>> To: blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx >>> Subject: slint release install findings >>> >>> speech in console mode with mate as default graphical user interface >>> dstarts sounding choked shortly after login.
