Archinstall no longer accessible with speakup

[aaron-gh]

When using speakup, archinstall can no longer be navigated with the speakup screenreader.

Current behavior:

When navigating the arrow keys, the selected menu items are not read by speakup.

Expected behavior:

The highlighted item should be read by speakup.

Steps to reproduce:

Boot the accessible installer, down arrow at the boot prompt and enter
press capslock plus control plus 8 until "highlight tracking" is read
type "archinstall" and use the arrow keys to navigate. Speech will either respond sometimes or not at all.

To see this working correctly, follow the above steps with an earlier version of archinstall, e.g. September 2022 is the version I used today to complete an install.

I think this is fixed in master already, if you can, would you mind trying that out?

Hi,

I tried to build and then copy to an arch iso to try the install, using makepkg -s on an already installed system, but the pkgbuild seems to be fetching an old version, and failing SHA512 checksums.

I tried building with nuitka and it builds, but running ./archinstall after building says it cannot find the guided profile.

Am I missing a step?

thanks.

You don't have to build it, you just clone it from within the archiso

git clone https://github...
cd archinstall
python -m archinstall

That should work fine

Or you can download a built iso artifact from master

After testing, it seems as though the keyboard navigation was indeed fixed.

However, the script still breaks. unsure if this is related. Don't see how it would be, but thought I'd report it here anyway just in case I'm missing something.

After selecting install, I get the following:

Olay that's something else, but good that the speakup works again!

With the new menu WIth the new menu system #3997 this should hopefully be fixed. If there are still issues we can open a new issue with the concrete problem
