Howdy, I originally sent this but mispelled the email address. Not enough coffee yet apparently lol. ----- Forwarded message from Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com> ----- Date: Tue, 16 May 2017 06:59:42 -0400 From: Storm Dragon <stormdragon2976 gmail com> To: Alex ARNAUD <alexarnaud hypra fr>, orca-list gnomre org Subject: Re: [orca-list] Want to experiment with Mate User-Agent: Mutt/1.8.2 (2017-04-18) Howdy, To get mate working accesibly, You could either use startx to get it running, or use the slim display manager. I prefer using slim, because startx floods the console with a ton of information, and you would need to remember to silence fenrir or speakup before starting it. pacman -S slim Edit /etc/slim.conf and change default user from simone to your login name. Remember to uncomment the line so the setting will actually work. Uncomment the autologin line and change no to yes. Save the changes. In your home directory, create the .xinitrc file and paste the following lines into it: #!/bin/sh # # ~/.xinitrc # # Executed by startx (run your window manager from here) if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do [ -x "$f" ] && . "$f" done unset f fi #accessibility for original load export GTK_MODULES=gail:atk-bridge export GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1 export QT_ACCESSIBILITY=1 exec mate-session If you don't want to copy/paste, you can get the file from my website: curl https://stormdragon.tk/scripts/vm-files/xinitrc > ~/.xinitrc This will overwrite any existing file at ~/.xinitrc. make the file executable: chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc You can the start it by typing: sudo systemctl start slim Orca may not come up when you first start it. So, just wate a few seconds, maybe 30 at most, and then press alt+f2 and type orca then hit enter. It should start talking. You may want to set the exit orca key in the unbound keys part of the keybindings tab in Orca Preferences. HTH and let me know if you have any questions.

For configuration details you could take a look at the wiki : https://wiki.debian.org/accessibility> 2. If it will not be for me, can I safely remove it?I am using Arch. I don't know Arch Linux, sorry. I use only Debian because it fits my needs.
