Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu Mate 20.10 installer

[Daniel McGee <danielmcgee134 gmail com>]

Confirming 20.10 still has the installer issue. Also that said 
workaround of logging out and back in again makes the installer 
accessible to Orca again. However, I wouldn't advise installing this 
version because I noticed that one gets no speach on the login window. I 
was able to log back in, hence finding out the installer state with Orca 
but it wasn't fun. Even keystroke of starting up Orca or run application 
command didn't give me speach. eventually, it was: alt F2 then type: 
orca -s which brought back speach for me. So yeah, advise skipping this 
version. Up to the indevidual of course though.
