A friend needs orca to speak faster and with less punctuation than is in the defaults in gsettings in ubuntu 19.10. Since I'm most of 900 miles away from him and he has no other linux support in that community I figured installing and running espeakup in console and only running orca for a few things that needed it would be the safest option. Rather than advise him to do anything, I put ubuntu 19.10 on a disk and got orca working and got espeakup installed and enabled. I also updated grub so it wouldn't do graphics and removed splash. Then I rebooted the machine and got orca talking and not espeakup. It could be that kernel line in grub needs a 3 appended to it to get espeakup working. I'll try that next. One thing would help if installing ubuntu-mate-environment if all suggested packages could also install automatically. I'm going to have to get espeakup working and use its clipboard facilities to add those suggested packages for now.
