My laptop’s display is not working. I’m using an extended monitor. When I installed ubuntu mate, it automatically starts up with some other accessibility option, with no taskbar, side panel or anything. I think the universal access option automatically chose the blind mode or something. Because the screen reader is also on. I can hear what I press on the keyboard. I can’t change it to normal mode. How can I turn it back to normal mode from this mode?
I tried installing ‘gnome-control-center’ and enter into system settings. But can’t change the accessibility settings. What should I do? Please help.
If you are having difficulty changing the setting back due to there being no menu, then you could do the following:
Assuming you are on the desktop, right-click and, from the drop down menu, choose “create folder”. It doesn’t matter what name you use for the folder.
Having once created the folder, double-click it to open it.
Navigate to /usr/share/applications.
In that folder, you should find the launchers to everything on your system, including any settings management items. Double-click on any of them to run them.
I tried installing 'gnome-control-center' and enter into system settings. But can't change the accessibility settings.
Don't install gnome-control-center, it's made for GNOME, not for MATE and works in a different way. I.e., most of its settings (if not all) will not be used by MATE.
MATE has a control center too (mate-control-center) but that's just a GUI that gathers independant settings that are also in the menus.
Now, about your issue, you have a working display and desktop interface, right? You only want to disable the accessibility options by default?
Check in MATE-s control center → Assistive Technologies that they're not enabled. Also tell us what's inside the ~/.config/autostart folder (~ being your home; also, the folder is hidden as its name begins with a dot).
