However, I can tell you, I have experienced this exact sam= e problem under VMware. What I can tell you is that it is definitely not rel= ated to VMware version 11, because the same exact conditions happen in VMwar= e nine. A friend of mine told me that it may be related to how VMware workst= ation is handling the audio device. However, I have absolutely no way to ver= ify this unfortunately like you, there's not a lighter side assistance near m= e, but, I can tell you this. The login is actually occurring without any pro= blem. Also, we also know that the PC speaker is enabled. Because, you can pr= ess backspace, and you can tell that you are in a console log in. I also tri= ed to install why ASR, thinking that it may be related to speak up. However,= there doesn't seem to be any audio in the new VM. I can tell though that th= e VM actually does have a sound card, and other devices. Sorry I could not b= e more helpful, but just want to tell you what I am experiencing here. =20 Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 22, 2015, at 1:21 PM, wrote: >=20 > I know from reading earlier threads that some mention of this problem has > been made. > 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 versio= ns > 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.
