solved: how to get Orca to speak in lightdm
Hi all, Thanks to Rob for helping me out and also thanks to B.H. I'm an end user and happy to learn by the instructions I get. Milton Op 30-04-15 om 10:50 schreef Rob Whyte: Hi, You can make sure your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf looks like this: [SeatDefaults] greeter-session=unity-greeter user-session=ubuntu Good luck Cheers Rob On 30/04/15 16:45, Milton wrote: Hi Rob, Thanks for the instructions. It shows that my current display manager is lightdm. After I did sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm but still I got a login screen without sound. Even the sound of the drums. I try by pressing Ctrl_S and Alt_Super_S and Ctrl_Super_S without success. somebody told me to set unity greeter as the default but I don't know how. Milton Op 29-04-15 om 11:29 schreef Rob Whyte: Hi, first check to see what your current display manager is. type: cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager Note the capital X in the above command. If anything other than /usr/sbin/lightdm is printed that is your problem. If so try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm arrow down to lightdm if there are other choices and push enter. Then next time you start your machine you should be using lightdm. Good luck Kind regards Rob Whyte On 29/04/15 18:02, Milton wrote: HI B.H. dpkg -l|grep lxdm gave no results.

Hi Milton, On my trusty 14.04.2 in settings/universal access/ screen reader it says "turn on or off: alt + super + s" and I think was in use on earlier 14.04 . hope this helps, bill On 28/04/15 16:30, Milton wrote: In lightdm I use ctrl_S to start Orca to speak.

Re: how to get Orca to speak in lightdm
In lightdm I use ctrl_S to start Orca to speak. But now it won't work. a sighted person told me that there is only one account shown in the login screen. so I think it is not lightdm. In the software Centre I delete the Lubuntu-desktop but I still stay with another dm. Milton Op 28-04-15 om 05:39 schreef B.

Re: how to get Orca to speak in lightdm
Does lxde use lightdm in Lubuntu? LXDE has its own DM, but perhaps it's not used by default when installing to Ubuntu. -- B.H.

how to get Orca to speak in lightdm
Hello List, I use Ubuntu Trusty with Orca 3.14.3 in Unity. I thought to show some friends the Lubuntu desktop and install this with the help of the software centre. But after this I have no Orca in the login screen. I did in a terminal: sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm without success. can you tell me how to get Orca to speak again in the login screen? Thank you.
