Re: [orca-list] about to try manjaro

hi

I'll download a debian testing image right now. Unfortunately manjaro 
was inaccessible, it's mate edition didn't include mate, but after 
connecting to the internet and installing it, mate did work, and was 
accessible, but manjaro's installer, a qt5 thing called calamares, was 
completely invisible to orca, even with the "sudo -E" trick. I did 
manage to get antergos to work, although it's still hit or miss. I can't 
figure out what's going on with speech dispatcher. It doesn't seem to be 
a bug in speech dispatcher, but something screwy with my sound setup. 
Spd-say hi doesn't speak, but after doing "sudo alsactl store" a couple 
of times speech magically works. Until the next boot. I'll try debian 
testing if this problem persists. I love mate 1.20 by the way. The 
accessibility improvements are noticeable, especially in atril. 
Fantastic work everyone involved in mate, especially hypra! I want to 
help out mate and all linux distros now that I have a usable system 
without windows.

Thanks
