Orca orca startup problems

Hello,
I'm running ubuntu feisty and orca 1.17.92.  I also have a
braille 
display and can start brltty.

I can start orca with alt-f2 but it dies after 3 or 4
keystrokes.  
I then tried to run it from a text console to get some
informative 
diagnostics but it couldn't connect to 
the X session.  It's looking for the DISPLAY environment
variable.  What 
value do I put in this magic variable?

There's a chance that some of my ubuntu packages are not
properly 
configured, but everything in the ubuntu-desktop appears to
be installed 
according to aptitude.

tia for your help
Chris

Hello Chris,
did you install Feisty on your hard drive, or do you run it
from the CD?
If you installed it, did you upgrade from Edgy?
If so, did you make a backup of Edgy?
Remember: Feisty is still experimental, so I wouldn't
recommend to
install it. You should wait till the final version is
released.
You must start Orca from within the graphical display, the
only 3 things
you can do from the console is to display the help page, to
display the
version and to do the first time setup.
Regards
Hermann
