Re: [orca-list] Do you have a solution?? [john boyer abilitiessoft org: Problem with lightdm]

These days, at least on my machine, the X session is on console 2 rather 
than console 7.

Another alternative (if you work mainly in the console) would be to set 
up your .xinitrc file appropriately, and run startx from the console 
when you want an X session.

All of this will change somewhat when you move to Wayland, but my 
assumption based on your message is that you're still running X11.
