Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.
I can confirm this issue using Xubuntu 10.10. I installed Xubuntu, updated, restarted, installed "gnome-orca", and restarted. Starting orca in terminal allowed me to set up preferences in it. Adding orca to sessions and startup allows orca to start on login. The only thing orca is doing is giving "welcome to orca" after login. It does not read anything on the screen. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better! ** Changed in: gnome-orca (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: gnome-orca (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-orca - Orca don't read name of the folder or text document... + Orca does not read anything on the screen in Xubuntu 10.10. It will not + even read it's own preferences dialog.
