Hi all: I've been trying to install debian 9.x in a VM (vmware) on Windows. I use this approach for testing purposes and I also wanted to have a couple of vms running debian stretch. I have used the same iso files (written to usb flash disk) and used the flash to boot up and install stretch on physical hardware without a hitch. However, on vmware speech suddenly goes silent. It happens during install. Last time I tried it stopped when I was about to select keyboard layout. I've tried it on vmware on 3 different machines (host OS) both windows 7 and windows 10 with the same result. I've also tried using usb headset and I always get speech after pressing 's' at the boot menu but speech stops after a while during setup regardless of host machine and/or soundcard. I wanted to try VirtualBox 5.2 when I read that the 5.2 beta includes accessibility improvements but the UI was not yet usable. I could setup the vm but booting up the vm and select boot media UI was inaccessible. I don't know of other virtualization software on windows that is accessible for me to try. Is this a vmware issue or the debian installer with speech. I'm pretty sure it would work just fine without speech and accessibility activated. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
