Re: [orca-list] Maximum volume in LightDM window after the latest Arch update

[илья пащук <ilusha paschuk gmail com>]

keys does not work in lightdm, but you may change volume on lightdm 
login screen.


Orca allows to inject arbitrary python code to it.


you may place any python code in 
~/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py and it will be launched on 
Orca startup.


the login screen itself (in Lightdm this part is named as an greeter) is 
started as a special user "lightdm"


it's home directory is by default on path /var/lib/lightdm


so, path for the orca file may be the following:

/var/lib/lightdm/.local/share/orca/orca-customizations.py


in this file you should place code like this:


import subprocess

subprocess.Popen('mate-terminal')


or any other terminal emulator which you use.


then restart the machine to get to the login screen.


and orca should bring up the terminal together with itself.


in this terminal you may try to use pactl command or run any gui volume 
manager, for example mate-volume-control


but you should remember that there is no any window manager on lightdm 
screen, and you can not switch the windows.
