Hi, A slight longshot I know but we use logrhythm on a terminal server. Before I go to the trouble of getting our hardware guys to install JFW on the server so I can use it remotely, does anyone know if the logrhythm console is accessible?

Windows Subsystem for Linux 1609 - copy/paste in the terminal
by Jason White 17 Nov '17

17 Nov '17

How can we copy/paste text from/to the terminal (Bash on Ubuntu on Windows) under Windows 10 Fall Creators Update 1709? Under JAWS 2018, the terminal now appears as a text area, which is fine, but even with the Touch Cursor, I can't find a button to activate the menu that provides the copy/paste functions. I suppose I could use the JAWS Virtualize Window command to enable copying text, but not for pasting the contents of the clipboard.

How does one get a Knoppix rescue system to talk?
by David Mehler 16 Nov '17

Hello, I've got two questions on Knoppix in this case v8.1.0. First, how does one get it speaking in both GUI and CLI environments? Second, what utilities does it have for secure disk erasure? Thanks. Dave.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7
by Eigeldinger Simon 15 Nov '17

Hi, I figured out that this problem isn't NVDA specific. i also figured that out that this issue is also present on that computer when i install nvda next. Seems that might be a win 7 or firefox problem. Greetings, Simon -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] Im Auftrag von mhysnm1964(a)gmail.com Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.

I am not surprised about this as NVDA and Firefox have a close relationship. The question is the new version going to be on the Mac platform and if so, will Voice-Over users be impacted? -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Chris T via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Wednesday, 15 November 2017 8:00 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Chris T <ultimatethesecond(a)googlemail.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7 As an alternative, the water fox browser might be worth a go.

Outlook 2010 IMAP account with multiple inboxes
by Ryan Mann 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

I have just switched somebody over to use IMAP instead of POP in Outlook 2010. She is able to send and receive email, but there is one problem. This person now has multiple inboxes and I think she also has more than one sent items folder. I set this account up in a different profile from her other email accounts. What do we need to do to fix this? I searched on Google and so far, I just found things about people wanting to have multiple accounts go to one inbox. We only have one account that has multiple inboxes.

surface pro 3 bitlocker decryption recovery key
by David Mehler 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Well, I am stuck. As I said I got the surface pro 3 to boot off USB media, in this case it's microsoft-provided recovery image. All went well, until I tried to wipe and restore the system, I selected something like remove all, thinking it would nuke the partition, it started, then said it couldn't continue as the system was missing a required partition. Now earlier in the process I selected skip the key because I didn't and don't have it. This I have come to learn is the bitlocker drive encryption key. This machine does have a tpm chip in it so I assume it stores the key there. The problem is it was most likely backed up on the previous owner's skydrive account, which I don't and can't get access to obviously. The only thing I do have is the KEY ID which it says go to windows.microsoft.com/recoverykeyfaq to utilize. This is not valid because it points to the skydrive account, or written down/printed out key, or key on a USB thumb drive, I have none of that. I'm open to suggestions. The one other idea I have is to try derrick's boot n nuke on the drive, totally smoke it and do a fresh install from the USB recovery image I have. Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7
by Eigeldinger Simon 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi all, System: Win 7 Pro 64 Bit Screenreader: NVDA 2017.3 Firefox Version: 57.0 64 Bit I just installed Firefox 57 Quantum on this machine. I read online that this version should be more performant than the older versions and use less system resources. though i had to downgrade again to version 56.0.2 and disabling updates for a while because my pc decided to not like that version all that much. CPU usage rose drastically and the computer became unresponsive. I wonder if that is a NVDA thing or other people might have the same issues with other assistive technology. Greetings, Simon
