However since I wanted to get a fresh start on solving the problem I = hope that a new message will keep it focused. I first took a working VM of Debian Wheezy 32 bit and did an update, = then upgrade. After that I followed instructions on how to upgrade to Debian Jessie. All seemed to go well. However on the last reboot suddenly no speakup. I checked with a sighted friend and the login screen was there and I = could login but no speakup. So I decided to start a new VM and I tried both Jesse 32 and 64 bit = versions from the 8.1.0 iso dvd1. Installer talked perfectly through the entire process. First reboot, no speakup. Login worked but still no speakup. So since it is a VM I tried several more times with both versions = changing things like desktop and various servers in the software = selection area. Nothing mattered. No speakup after reboot to installed machine. I am not even close to being able to compile or debug. I can't do more = than follow a careful string of instructions. Without any speech in the new VM I really can't do anything at all and = sighted help is not usually available. So what and how can I figure out what is wrong with speakup in a brand = new VM. Settings for the VM include 1024MB ram, standard VM scsi virtual = controller, defaults for network and sound as well as display. The VMware version is 11.2.x. Since the exact same settings in my old Wheezy VM worked I have no idea = what is going wrong. I have however had problems now and then when building a new VM under = Wheezy both 32 and 64 from the DVD iso images. Changing a software selection seemed to fix it and I never pin-pointed = which package was toasting speakup. So bottom line, why is Debian 8.1.0 in a VM failing to have working = speakup after install completes? What info can I provide to help define the problem? How can I fix it? tnx =20 _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@linux-speakup.org http://linux-speakup.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/speakup
