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

[Didier Spaier <didier slint fr>]

Hi Kyle,

being sighted, typing su to become root then "pkg install orca" was not an
issue. currently they have orca 41.0, speech-dispatcher 0.10.2, no conflict
that I could detect. I also did:
pkg install nano
pkg install geany
pkg install lxqt (got the last version, 1.0.0)
plk install lumina
The added destkops, as well as Mate,went full featured without a hitch, 
with all
their dependencies.

I have considered porposing Eric to help him make GhostBSD accessible 
from the
beginning of installation, as Slint. Too bad that the days have only 24 
hours
where I live...

Cheers,
Didier
