[orca-list] Debain: how to get orca talking

[Øyvind Lode <oyvind lode gmail com>]

Hi list:

I've just installed Debian buster (testing) to play around with GUI
and Orca again.
I installed mate desktop (the default choice in debian installer).
After installation I don't have speech after logging into the desktop.
Speech works fine through speakup when switching to a text console.
How to get speech working on the desktop?

Please also send me most commonly used mate desktop keyboard shortcuts
and orca shortcuts to get me started exploring the desktop.

Thanks,

Øyvind
