Re: [orca-list] [might be OT] [Arch Gnu/Linux] - enabling orca on GDM

Kyle,
You don't have to load modules anymore.
Just do :
#start service
systemctl start espeakup
#stop service
systemctl stop espeakup
#always start service at boot
systemctl enable espeakup
#disable previously automatic start
systemctl disable espeakup
