#223102 — Problem Installing Debian

Greetings
This is Analis Dannen. I really want to replace my crappy windows
operating system with Debian. As a blind user, I rely on ORCA Screen
Reader to get around in Debian. Well, I have an issue. Orca will not
respond when I try to navigate the installer. It simply says the name
of the program and that is about it. Here is what I have tried.
Enabling the root account through the terminal
After root is enabled, logging out of the live session then logging back in
Logging into the root account only to find that ORCA does not seem to be there
I desperately need your help. Please respond to this Email as soon as
possible. Thank you very much!

It is unclear to me what issue(s) you are having:
- How did you install Debian?
- What release of Debian did you install?

CCing Debian accessibility.

AIUI, you are trying to install Debian from the live CD.  Accessibility
is not supported in that case yet.  Please use an installation CD, not a
live CD, and type 's' when the boot menu beeps, to get into a
speech-enabled installation process.

Hello

not an expert border less ness

could you ask someone to install latest Debian + Mate Desktop + orca?

or alternative: have someone prepare a linux boot stick with Debian 10
live iso mate image

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-10.4.0-amd64-mate.iso

(should run out of the box without setup on most systems but bios
settings might need to be modified in order to boot it, try f12 during boot)

imho orca is a gui application can only be used after a desktop was
installed

do you have a desktop gui installed?

mate is pretty simple and orca comes pre installed

when mate is running open a terminal (as non root user)

orca -s

will open up orca setup dialog with all kinds of settings

restart firefox

and it will start reading webpages
