Re: [orca-list] Can't get Orca start in a graphical environment started

[Peter Vágner <pvdeejay gmail com>]

Hello,

A tiny word on lightdm-gtk-greeter after I have looked at all the proposed solutions I know of again:
Samuel's proposal is working everywhere I would say... https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/lightdm/+bug/1366534
Luke's proposal is more universal although currently it appears to me as it is only working in conjunction with systemd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670933

I would say we need to find an universal solution and propose it to lightdm maintainers so it's definatelly fixed after all these attempts.

Greetings

Peter

Having run the mate accessibility enabling command I started startx again and had to run orca when mate came up.  I could run orca --replace and mate-terminal and mate-terminal gave me a $ prompt in a console window but outside of the terminal in g.u.i. mode I couldn't run commands that work in mate in archlinux.  It's like I would run a command and get no speech back from orca.  Probably it's possible to work in console on mate and while I have no problem with that many others who are not original command line interface users are about to experience serious difficulties.
orca --replace did replace the screen reader but insert-space which normally enters orca preferences did not work either.

Some results for slint.  slapt-get --install-set mate worked.
Then I ran xwmconfig to choose graphical environment and mate showed up nearly last just above twm so I moved down to mate and hit enter.  I was returned to the command line prompt so hit printscreen key and typed startx to go into environment.  orca did not start which was no surprise to me so I started it.
Once orca was started the stuff to enable orca mate accessibility hadn't been set so I had to exit out by powering off computer and booted back in. Probably after supper I'll run those mate accessibility commands and try this again and see if I get further.  Things like control-f10 didn't work either and neither did control-alt-escape.  More later as I find it out and make some changes over here.

I forgot I ran xwmconfig as user not as root if that will make any difference. On Fri, 3 Nov 2017, Didier Spaier wrote:

 slapt-get --install MATE
