[BRLTTY] OT: Starting Orca on Ubuntu 12.04.2

I have a Pack Mate 40 Braille display, which is USB-connected. When 
Ubuntu boots up the display is autodetected. I have configured Orca to 
use Braille. However, when I type orca from a ssh login it says it 
cannot contact the desktop and says to set the environment variable 
DISPLy. I tried setting it to :0 with no change.

Sorry for the off-topic message, but I can't ask on the Orca list 
because gnome.org persists in blocking my web-hosting company's (1and1) 
outgoing mail server, mout.perfora.net .
Thanks,
John
