Hello,
I think it is verry difficult if not inpossible to install gnome 3.14 on a debian wheezy system. I would advise you to stay with debian but install debian unstable instead of debian wheezy. Gnome 3.14 is just rolling into debian unstable as I was able to find out on the gnome page on the debian wiki. I have never tried this my-self but I think debian installer on the unstable image is also accessible like the debian wheezy one. the accessibility page on the debian wiki is also worth to read. And of course feel free to ask more questions if you need help please. Greetings Peter On 14.11.2014 at 17:14 Vincenzo Rubano wrote: Hi all, at university, we need to use Debian for a project. So, I installed it on a laptop to verify its accessibility. However, I found out that Debian wheezy ships with Gnome 3.4. Since I’ve been told that between Gnome 3.4 and Gnome 3.14 there have been a lot of accessibility enhancements, I’d like to upgrade the Gnome version installed in my Debian. Could you give me any advice on the best way to proceed? I tried adding the Wheezy-backports repository to apt, but after entering in terminal apt-get -t wheezy-backports install gnome-shell or apt-get -t wheezy-backports install task-desktop apt-get me tells me that the packages are up to date. I tried adding the Vinux/Trusty PPA to apt-get, but when entering apt-get update and after that apt-get upgrade Debian informs me that it cannot find packages for Wheezy. I read about apt-pinning, but a lot of people discouraged me to do it to avoid problems with my machine. The last option I considered was installing Gnome after compiling it from source, but that’s an option I’d like to avoid: I would prefer to install already compiled binaries from the package manager. Could you give me any advice, please? I don’t know what to do, but I need to absolutely upgrade Gnome hoping that accessibility has been enhanced, since in my current setup it’s half a disaster! Thanks in advance for your help.
