Hello, Thanks for all the suggestions and feedback. That makes sense, their may be a conflict between Speakup and the particular graphical environment which I installed. In this case, it was the standard Gnome 3.x environment. What I will do next is just install the standard utilities and Debian core. After this is done, I will reboot the VM and then install Gnome, and see if this helps. I will then report back on the results. To tell you the truth, this is how I would normally do a new install. for some reason, I decided that I would try and use a different method.
