I did a fresh debian install and chose desktop environment print server, database, and standard linux utilities in package selection part of the install. Using speakup in root directory I ran orca -t <cr> and was told that only dummy voice was working and speech-dispatcher couldn't get any other servers to come up. I was told to examine /var/log/speech-dispatcher/speechd.log. After exiting orca nonetheless being allowed to make selections on the orca preferences and getting back to the root prompt, I expected I would have a log file to examine. No such luck. The /var/log/speech-dispatcher/ directory was completely empty. The text version of orca setup using speech-dispatcher didn't write a log file for me. Next I'll try mashing the backspace key a while after speakup speech goes away and see if I can get a beep from which to log into the desktop environment then try running orca in that way. After that, I'm out of ideas.
