Re: [orca-list] Fwd: Lightdm configuration to use orca on Arch with Mate desktop.

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Speaking of lightdm, I'm not sure what happened with Solus but somehow, 
Orca's gone quiet on my laptop, versus my desktop which still has a 
talking login window.

I'm not sure what changed, but on my Arch VM slick-greeter breaks 
monumentally, and gtk-greeter doesn't work with the greeter and 
a117y-status settings.

Ah well, back to startx on my VM, to me that's a lot less hassle since 
all I had to do was to put systemctl --user enable pulseaudio in my 
.bash_profile and set up .xinitrc so startx goes into a talking desktop 
and I get a talking console login.

In other words. I don't really feel like, personally, messing around 
with lightdm. Now given that arch's guided installer kind of broke a 
bit...well in this month's iso at least and I've no desire or nous to 
fix it...(because I dunno why)
