[orca-list] jessie to stretch upgrade problems, follow-up

[Al Sten-Clanton <albert e sten_clanton verizon net>]

Greetings again!

Jose Vilmar Estacio de Souza gave me a lot of help this week in trying 
to get this upgrade on track.  I thought it finally worked on Thursday, 
but ended up with no orca *and no speakup.  So, I first want to express 
my great appreciation to Jose for his time and attention to mhy problem.

Second, I had a volunteer reader look at the screen yesterday.  I 
thought we'd made the right adjustments to sound output, and we had 
speakup talking for about a second, but it stopped again.

One problem seems to be this:  when I do get logged in on the graphical 
screen, as soon as I go to a text terminal, that login kicks out.  I 
thought this was happening earlier, when I had orca for the login only, 
and my reader confirmed this yesterday.

Jose and I focused much of our attention on speech-dispatcher this week. 
 I don't know how it may contribute to my troubles, but this login 
knockout drug problem suggests that something else is going on.  Are 
there any suggestions for me--relevant files I may need to fix, packages 
I should try reinstalling, or something else?  One way I can still get 
at stuff on the machine is via the stretch live CD:  yesterday, I ran 
speakup on the CD and did chroot into the / partition on my machine. 
Again, I don't know if this will help me, but I mention it in case it might.

Thank you for whatever anybody can suggest.

Al
