I haven't a physical braille device attached, and orca speech works correctly for me.

Sorry,  "orca --text-setup" doesn't work for me either.

I'm not sure why this happens. It's strange. After installation of vermillion_42 on snv_41, I could find /usr/bin/orca while others of my colleagues in Beijing Team can not find it on their box.
So I went to orca download page and got the latest orca 0.2.4 source code, installed it on my box with default configure settings. The orca was installed to /usr/local/bin/orca. I tried to invoke the orca gui setting dialog with "/usr/local/bin/orca --gui-setup", but failed.
I removed all the files and directory in my home directory which was created by /usr/bin/orca-setup. Then I run the /usr/local/bin/orca --text-setup again, it still doesn't work.
I tried to generate the .orca directory in my home directory with /usr/bin/orca-setup, and uncommented those three lines, run /usr/local/bin/orca --text-setup again, the output listed below:
##################
bash-3.00$ /usr/local/bin/orca --text-setup
GTK Accessibility Module initialized
Changing debug level to 1000
Changed debug level to 1000
Changing debug level to 0
Changed debug level to 0
##################

orca gui preference still failed to start.

Thanks,
