I suppose mate has some kind of startup directory like $HOME/.config/autostart? Is orca.desktop in that directory on your system yet? On Sun, 3 Sep 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2017 04:27:34 From: Linux for blind general discussion To: blinux-list@redhat.

If you're sure you've logged in, right now I'm pretty sure I haven't yet managed that what happens when you run speaker-test -t sine? If sound is working you ought to hear a nearly continuous beep. On Sun, 3 Sep 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2017 11:16:18 F

Also remember, much of what's in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is commented out. On Sun, 3 Sep 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2017 12:10:42 From: Linux for blind general discussion To: Linux for blind general discussion Subject: Re: Arch Linux:No sound on fresh

I figured that out. I only set the greeter option in that and didn't touch anything else. On 9/3/17, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > Also remember, much of what's in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf is commented > out. > > On Sun, 3 Sep 2017, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > >> Da
