Until about six months ago, when I booted up  lightdm would ask what user to log into and the password. It 
would then set up console 7, set the screen for this console to graphics mode and start  Orca. It would not 
affect the other consoles, so i could continue to use them in command mode, with brltrty. Now lightdm just 
sets the screen to graphics mode without asking anything. I have to use systemctl to disable it, so I can use 
the machine. 
How can I get the former behavior back? As it is, I can't use Mate at all.

Thanks,
John
