Hi,
when you hear the drum, press ctrl+s; then Orca will start

ctrl-alt-f1 worked, but Orca still says it cannot contact the desktop.
It would be best if someone who is familiar with Ubuntu would work with
me privately. I chose Ubuntu because it was recommended for switching
from Windows to Linux for business aplications.

Try Alt-Ctrl-F1, which should take you to an ordinary Linux virtual console
and present a login prompt. If BRLTTY is loaded, everything should be in
braille from then on.
If BRLTTY isn't loaded, you have work to do. I don't know Ubuntu, so I can't
offer detailed help.
Ubuntu is diverging more and more from the rest of the Linux community, e.g.,
Upstart instead of Systemd or System V Init, the Unity desktop instead of
Gnome/KDE/XFCE, their own display server under development instead of adopting
Wayland, etc.
As a result, it's going to become harder for those of us who don't run Ubuntu
to help Ubuntu users on mailing lists.
