Hi,
Thank you all for your feedback. I want to make correction.
* The gnome orca already started after successful login. I have no
problem here.
* What I want is to make orca run before I login or when X started. I
need it to read what's on screen, like when choosing or typing username.
I tried creating ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xsession and both doesn't do what I
want. Still surfing the internet for answer. Hopefully I can find one here.
FYI:
* Using Mate desktop
* Using parrot OS (Debian based)
Best Regards
