Jude and All,

I wonder if my installing Orca before installing a desktop is the problem.

The reason this happened is that I did not consider that a desktop might not be installed.

So would it be a good idea to remove Orca and reinstall it now?

And if so, what is the best way to do this?

I'm thinking:

apt remove gnome-orca

or would dpkg --purge gnome-orca

be a better choice?

Thanks.

From what I understand that -t switch either had been disabled
temporarily or is disabled.  If orca is running maybe try insert-space
to get into settings.
