I sent the below message to orca list yesterday but in case this is a
brltty issue I thought I would also send it here. I got a response from
one person who is also experiencing this in Debian using brltty 5.3.

Subject: Odd behavior
When orca starts (on a reboot or power up of computer) I have no braille using
my varioultra40. However when I go into orca preferences it shows braille as
being checked. As soon as I click ok though it seems to uncheck it or at least
if I go in again it shows as unchecked. If while it is unchecked I go to a
console ctrl-alt-f1 and login and restart brltty (sudo systemctl restart
brltty) and then come back to the desktop login and bring up orca preferences
and turn on braille again and then press ok I have braille. If I choose not to
do this at the login screen but wait till I get to the desktop I can go to a
terminal and go through the same steps to get braille.
I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with brltty 5.4 and orca 3.20.3. This behavior seems
to occur whether I use unity or mate as my desktop.
