Re: [orca-list] more serious issues with Mate and Orca

hi
The issue with mate not notifying you of changes is known. The problem
is, I don't know which component is to blame. If you restart orca, you
can read the new notification. For example, when you want an updated
battery reading, restart orca then go back over the panel. If you don't
want to do that every time, which is admittedly a pain in the neck,
press enter on the panel applet and a menu will pop up. In that menu,
there will be the name of your battery, which can sometimes be kind of
strange, followed by a percentage, and a preferences item which opens up
the power settings. If you press enter on your battery's label, it will
open up the power statistics screen with lots more info. I'm sorry about
lightdm. I don't know if ... what distro are you using? Which ever it
is, they're supposed to set this crap up automatically. If they don't, I
can easily tell you how to fix this. Open up
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf up in your favorite text editor,
and find the text "reader". After the equals sign, type in orca. Save
and close, then at the next log in, press f4. Orca should start and read
the login window. This is the reason why I've been advocating for a
standard shortcut for this stuff, and for it being automagically
configured, but no one listens to me, no one who can actually do
anything about it at least.
Thanks
