Ubuntu with Orca

Tue Jan 23 20:27:57 UTC 2018

Hello Alex,

I am just trying to interact with the console as of now. I do not have the time to work through all the desktop commands but eventually I will learn by doing I am sure. I need to be able to interact with the console for issuing commands and more importantly reading  the output of those commands. I ran some simple commands like sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and nothing was being read out to me using Orca. When I ran sudo apt-get install git things were being read out but when I pressed CTRL to stop the mass amounts of speech output I was unable to read the output in the window. When I press the super key plus ALT and S to stop and start the speech it is mostly unresponsive. Some times it will go off but then will not come back on for a while. Thanks

Do I need to install Gnome text based desktop? Is that even possible after the fact? Any help in getting this to work would be much appreciated.
