Thanks Jude for the response. On one attempt, after I hear "screen reader on" I tried Alt+F2, orca --replace, still silent.
On the next attempt, after I hear "screen reader on, 13 push button", I do nothing. About four minutes later, I hear "panel. long pause. panel. 13 push button grayed". No keys speak. I also try the Alt+F2, orca --replace and nothing happens. Let's talk about software selection. SSH server and standard utilities are constant, let's leave those out of this discussion. I have consistently chosen just "Gnome". Do I need to choose both "Gnome" and "Debian desktop environment"? I have no idea what Debian desktop environment is, because the other environment choices are very specific like Gnome, KDE and Mate.
