Hello, I am still trying to get Ubuntu 14.04 lts desktop working in a VMware 9 or 10 virtual machine. Visually I've had a look and it's saying install Ubuntu or try Ubuntu. I am not getting audio when I attempt to launch orca. Does anyone have a vm or virtual appliance with audio going or an idea as to why this is not working? Thanks. Dave.

Hello Katherine I am trying to get our IT security people here to give me access to a SharePoint server in another department. One of those port/firewall things. I am hoping that I will be able to use Windows Explorer to get at the files on the SharePoint server. I am told it is much easier than the web interface.

I and a couple of friends of mine use Sharepoint 2013 for document management and general communications on the front page of the site. I was given the honor of setting up SP, but I ended up having to give the task to my more sighted friend because too much of it was either inaccessible or viewable but nonactive with NVDA.

What are your suggestions for using SP with screen readers?

teamviewer and passing keystrokes to remote side
by Brian Moore 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

HI all. Considering giving up rim in favour of team viewer for remote controling computers. Rim is expensive and has some pretty serious issues if the remote end has another screen reader running, particularly jaws. However, I have a few questions. 1. how do I pass screen reader key strokes to the remote side. typically, this will be nvda key strokes. I must be missing something because even when I execute nvda commands in the remote window, they are acted upon locally. 2. I can not figure out how to end a session with a keyboard. Does anyone do this regularly? if so, wouldn't mind chatting via skype or something and actually experimenting a bit to get this right. thanks for any ideas. Brian. -- Contact me on skype: brian.moore follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bmoore123

Hello, Is anyone using a Ubuntu 14.04 in a VMware vm? If so, did you have audio issues? I'm trying to do an install, I've loaded the desktop iso and started it. I did a windows alt s and expecting to get speech, for the install, well that didn't happen, I don't get sound at all. This is on a win7 x64 host. Thanks. Dave.
