[orca-list] Orca, login screens and a curious Vbox issue

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Okay list here's something I'm confused about.

Got 18.04 on my laptop. I decided to play with the ninimal install in 
Virtualbox and set it to need my password to log in. I was amused when 
Orca spoke at the login screen. So I turned off autologin on my physica 
machine. Aaaaaaaand silence.

Do I need to do a reinstall and at install time hit require password to 
log in? I've been meaning to put the minimum install on here anyhow but 
I was curious why speech works in Virtualbox with the same package 
versions, but doesn't work on my physical machine which is hosting the 
virtualbox.

Here's how I set it up.

1. Installed 18.04 beta2 at the time and updated it on my physical machine

2. sudo apt-get install virtualbox and made the virtual machine with 
default settings and installed 18.04 released version with Orca on at 
boot menu, booted to live session in a virtual machine, minimal install, 
restarted and got speech at login screen. I shut down the VM and tried 
it on my physical machine.

Editing lightdm.conf didn't get me anywhere with Orca, so I'm thinking  
areinstall's in order. On the plus side if Storm reads this, hats off to 
that strychnine script, works like a charm under virtualbox.

So, what did I do wrong on my physical machine exactly? I'm now curious 
why the virtual machine speaks at login screen when the machine's 
powered on, and the  physical laptop doesn't speak. Is it down to 
enabling auto login on the physical laptop at install time?
