#245527 — about 10 bullseye installs blows up from brltty

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I'm on web mail using FF, which does not quote worth a damn. My "usb tree" looks like a weeping willow and contains several devices that answer to serial protocols. Both this keyboard and this mouse are wireless, and speak serial.  So how am I supposed to install with no keyboard?


Interesting question that.


Thanks, Cheers Gene

You have lots of keyboards. Aren't any available to be borrowed that connect via
PS/2 plug or USB cable to get you through a base-install?

I just did:

# aptitude search brlt
p   brltty
        - Access software for a blind person using a braille display
p   brltty-espeak
        - Access software for a blind person - espeak driver
p   brltty-flite
        - Access software for a blind person - Flite speech driver
p   brltty-speechd
        - Access software for a blind person - Speech Dispatcher driver
p   brltty-x11

on 5 different Bullseye installations originally installed via NET media method.
The result was always the same, no brltty* on any.

Same here. But I think Gene's problem is "caused" by
the presence of brltty_6.3+dfsg-1+deb11u1_amd64.deb
and libbrlapi0.8_6.3+dfsg-1+deb11u1_amd64.deb in the
installer. And I must admit that the only sound I've
ever heard from the installer is the gentle clicks
of floppy disks and the soft whirr of CDs spinning.

Cheers,
David.
