Re: [orca-list] which desktop to install

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

Luke's package may be Ubuntu only, but before I used that I could just 
log into my console as root and then su to my user ID to get speech in 
both the console and the desktop. Are you saying this doesn't work in 
later versions of Ubuntu? I haven't tried this in a while since I'm 
still using Vinux 4 on my production system and I haven't tried this 
work around on my test systems yet.
