It may also mean that the DISPLAY environment variable hasn't been set.
It won't be, for instance, on a shell running from the console even if X
is running, unless you've explicitly set it.

Cannot open display means that you hav'nt started X windows.
From your user account, run startx
and then wait quite a while. Then press alt-f2 and type orca -t there.
Speakup will not work when X is running.
If it is unsuccessful, pressing control-alt-f1 should get you back to a
talking console.

Hi,
Ok I have gnome working.
Now I am trying to install orca and get it to work.
I think I have it installed but when I type orca from a normal terminal that
speakup works in I get:
/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py:72: GtkWarning:
could
not open display
warnings.warn(str(e), _gtk.Warning)
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/orca/braille.py", line 53, in ?
import brl
ImportError: No module named brl
I can't even run firefox this way.
Do I have to open gnome and go to run app type orca and paste output from
that?
Or should this work?
I am on debian eche.
I also added two lines to my sources.list file to get some testing stuff from
leny I think so I could get orca since it wasn't in eche.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thanks for any help,
