Re: [orca-list] A quick Debian question

*Any* installer or live system that:
1) speaks after booting (no matter if it's on a console, using speakup, or with a GUI, using Orca),
2) gives access to either a console or a terminal for X to type commands,
should work using the commands I posted here:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2018-December/msg00120.html

As an aside, using either a live system or an installer (not going as far as actually installing, of course) 
that fulfill above conditions, won't make any difference for a simple reason:
an installer *is* a live system in the sense that it lives in RAM just like a "real" live system. It just has 
another purpose and less features, as it is built for a specific purpose.

That won't work, I think that's only if you're actually booted to the  desktop environment, but I'm talking 
about booting directly from a USB image, if it's plugged in, at least on my Dell machine, it beeps, you 
then have to press s for speech, at which point it says type enter to use this soundboard. At which point 
then the command lines installer starts

But you can try this:
Download Slint-14.2.1.1:
wget

https://sourceforge.net/projects/slint/files/14.2.1/slint64-14.2.1.1.iso

Check its md5sum:
md5sum slint64-14.2.1.1.iso
This should give you this output
d3a41c3c0768a757a47e678a1fc94906  slint64-14.2.1.1.iso
Put it on an USB stick (the ISO is hybrid, so you can just use the dd

command)

Boot it on the machine where your system is installed.
It will start speaking. When asked, press S so that it continue

speaking.

Follow instructions but do not go beyond logging in as root when

requested.

Then ype:
lsblk -l -o vendor,model,name,size,fstype
This should allow you to identify your root / partition.

Assuming its name be sda2 (adapt accordingly), type:
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
mount --bind /proc /mnt/proc
mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
chroot /mnt
You are now in your installed system, in console mode.
Just type the commands you need to remove the nasty package.

When you are done, type exit to go back to the installer, remove the

installer's USB stick and reboot.


Caveat: this will work only if you have a single sound card.

Else (e.g. you have also an HDMI sound card) I can provide another

ISO.


Hope this helps,

Didier

Unfortunately, It's not possible. You need to use Ubuntu for a live

CD/DVD/USB accessible with Orca.

Just a quick question, anybody know if there is an acceptable

method of booting into alive Debian 9 image, with orca? I know by
default when you boot a Debian ISO / USB image, you have to press s to
get speech but that then brings you to the talking command line
installer. I'm wanting to boot into a graphical live image, with orca,
so that I can chroot into my installed system, because I inadvertently
installed a package, and now it won't boot, so I just need to go in and
remove said package but I'm not sure if this is possible, I know with
Ubuntu for example, or other distributions, you can boot into the
desktop environment, like mate or gnome, and orca would come up
speaking by default. I could always find something like an older sonar
gnu image, and boot that if I need to, but because you have to tell
Debian which desktop environment do you want to install, I wasn't sure
if there was a I guess you could call it plug-and-play method, to boot
from USB, and be presented

with Orca and a graphical desktop. Thanks a bunch!
