Re: [orca-list] No speech from orca in GUI in arch but espeakup works fine.

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
gsettings set org.mate.interface accessibility true
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.applications screen-reader-enabled
true

That's everything I have in my notes, and I hope it helps.
