Your Linux based 855 has the same file structure as a conventional Nuvi i think. Ensure you have the oscar voice .vpm file and its .unl file in the root folder named Voice. Some common errors:

hi, how do you tell the difference between a text-to-speech voice and a non-text-to-speech voice.. when it comes to these novelty voices, that is...?
Are there any text-to-speech voices on here?
It's not voice TTS (stands Text-To-Speech)
Differences.....the normal voice option is a set of pre-recorded messages adding basic voice functionality to the navigation.
The TTS voice is a stand-alone voice engine, that can process any text input, for example road exits and street names.
If your device supports TTS voices, you can install them directly from the Garmin website
With the Web Updater,your dashboard in mygarmin or Garmin Express
More infos about the TTS

It didn't show up in my GPS unit nuvi 2445LM, even though I generated the unl file (few attempts). And the same thing happened to Marge Simpson voice, wallace and gromit, ernie and bert. On the other hand, the vehicles were show up without unl file.
Other than the aforementioned unsuccessful voice installation, I managed to install Homer Simpson, Yoda, Darth Vader, Morgan Freeman, English Stuart, Spongebob and Dora.
I've unlocked (no need to use .unl file) Oscar the Grouch (untested)
Spoiler: .
Do not PM me with questions. That's what a forum is for.
