Re: Getting orca started in lightdm

["D. A. H." <dhunt@freedommail.co>]

How would one do this in Ubuntu-Mate?  It's been suggested that I add 
the unity-greeter package, in order to get a talking login; this grabs a 
bunch of unity and gnome dependencies I probably don't need.  I have no 
lightdm.conf in /etc/ or in /etc/lightdm but I do have 
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter-ubuntu-mate.conf among others.



Any suggestions?



Thanks,



Dave  Hunt
