Gene, Any chance you could cut down extra stuff in the messages? This was a *very* long message. At this point, your best option is actually to rebuild, I think. You can find a .iso file at https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/iso-cd/debian-12.5.0-amd64-netinst.iso Unplug extraneous USB leads except for a mouse or keyboard. When you boot it up - go for the text mode expert install immediately you hear the two beeps. If you don't hear the beeps, don't hang around. Set up your IP address and hostname explicitly so that you know they will be reflected when you reboot. Do NOT install any desktop environment if you want to continue using TDE. That way you won't install GNOME or orca or anything else. Reboot - then go from there to install TDE. There's a sunk cost fallacy - you've invested a bunch of time and effort but you have an unusable machine. To make it usable, you might well need to strip it to bare bones and continue from there. None of us can help you - we don't know what you may have done. Crucially, _you_ don't know what you may have done and can't / won't take our advice on how to disable orca > All best, as ever, Andy (amaca...@debian.org)
