Good day,
I thought I would share my sollution on this one.
My X server was broken, but lightdm was running.
Stopping lightdm allowed me to stay on tty1 to tty6.
I have also removed lightdm as I prefer to use startx when I want a gui.
So now I have a machine starting up in text mode with speakup speaking
with the option to use startx once logged in, to start the xfce gui with
orca talking.
Regards, Willem

Good day,
After upgrading from ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04, I have this funny problem.
I first had some issues getting sound/alsa/espeakup to talk, but that is kind
of sorted now.
What is happening now, is that, if I go to tty1 through tty6, I get a login
prompt as expected, but a second or so later, I am on tty7 with speakup
speaking, but it is a blank screen.
I currently do not know if the machine comes up in graphical mode after
boot, as I had no speech at that point anyway.
I can ssh into the machine, which is mostly what I do, but I got to get
speakup and later orca working here.
I never had this behaviour before, any ideas?
Regards, Willem
