Sadly, I am also getting no speech from Orca on my newly installed Wheezy VM. It chatters away about services starting up, and even goes so far as to tell me that espeakup failed, even though it's obviously talking. I can see enough to know that an old-style, mostly white login window has appeared, and it goes away after I enter my username and password, but pressing alt-f2 and typing orca does nothing. I see that a window pops up and goes away, which I take to be the Orca splash screen from 3.4 I believe, but nothing further happens and I hear nothing. I am able to use Speakup on this system, but there appears to be some sort of bug related to sound in the graphical environment. I'll keep trying and will post something if/when I have more information. ~Kyle http://kyle.tk/ -- "Kyle? ... She calls her cake, Kyle?" Out of This World, season 2 episode 21 - "The Amazing Evie"
