I said Lightdm by mistake. Under Mate the default window manager
seems to be Marco. You can change to the older one called Metacity.
On Debian this procedure works, and probbably would work on Mint.
apt install metacity
From your ID at the command prompt.
gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager metacity
Then reboot.
To go back to Marco
gsettings set org.mate.session.required-components windowmanager marco
Then reboot.
You could try it if you keep getting hung and see if it makes a
difference. Maybe you have a different problem.

Good morning,
If I do change my Window manager, that do you recommend I switch to?
Right now, I’m actually in a situation where a text-based login prompt comes up, rather than the one which is accessible with Orca.
This is because we had a huge storm come through last night.
Thankfully though, we didn’t have any significant damage to our property, other than a few trees tilted.
I left my Linux machine on during the storm & probably shouldn't have.
I also didn’t have it plugged into a UPS.
Thanks,
Jessica Dail

Subject: Re: Mint Installation?
If you are running Mate, sometimes the Marco process becomes hung, which causes ORCA to seem hung. If you press ORCA+space or try moving the mouse, it may get you out of the situation. I'm not running Mint, but it happens on Debian and Ubuntu, and Mint is derived from Ubuntu. A more permanent fix is to change to the Lightdm window manager, but it isn't a good long-term solution..

Hi,
Occasionally, I’ll experience Orca locking up.
When this happens, sometimes, it's only for a few seconds & other times, I have to wait as long as 5 or 10 minutes.
This can happen with any app.
How can I prevent this?
I’m working with a Dell precision 4800 which has 16GB of ram & a 1TB SSD.
So, based on that, what do you think would cause these issues?

Hello,
I am a huge fan of podcasts!
I'd love to check out this program but before I proceed, I'd like to know if it'll work on Linux Min?
I just upgraded to Mint 21.2 last night & am loving it so far.
Thanks,
Jessica Dail
