Re: [orca-list] which desktop to install

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I made a script to stop the user service of systemd and restart espeakup with gksudo on manjaro, vinux5 
nightly and newer ubuntu with out espeakup, i.e. 
using speechd-up just work starting as you say, more or less, with sudo. 
There's no speechd-up package for arch that I have seen, and I have not tracked down source code to 
experiment there. 
There are other solutios that might work, but I have not gotten around to trying everything. 
I do have issues with fluxbox on pulse audio running systems beyond vinux4 not having propper sound 
management in consoles. 
I just get some error messages.
I'll be working on this, but as always some destractions come along and keep me from concentrating on the new 
and interesting stuff as much as I'd 
like...lol
