captive portal on ddwrt
by David Mehler 13 Dec '17

13 Dec '17

Hello, Has anyone set up a captive portal solution on ddwrt? This would be for one wlan segment only, in this case the guest network, I want that network going through the captive portal, not lan or the wl0 or wl1 network. I've tried enabling in two separate instances, not at the same time, chillispot, and wifidog, both of which the moment I turned them on, the guest network would not hand out dhcp leases. If anyone has done this please let me know. Thanks. Dave.

coppying files into system folders under windows 10
by Kathryn Jedynak 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Hello All: Is there a way under windows 10 to copy system files into system folders? Where I work at, we need to update our Jaws scripts and copy them into the program data folder. We also need to copy files in to the \windows\system32 folder and the program files folder. The only work-around I found is to enable the local administrator account, log in to it, and copy the files that way. If anyone knows of another way, please let me know. Regards, Kathryn

Audio redirection gpo not applying
by Troy Hergert 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue and could tell me what they think might be going on. For many years I have had a group policy which enables audio redirection in remote desktop sessions applied to all the computers in my domain. The last couple of years approximately 50% of the computers are not enabling audio redirection in remote desktop sessions. The gpo I created is configured under computer configuration, policies, administrative templates, windows components, remote desktop services, remote desktop session host, device and resource redirection, allow audio and video playback redirection. This is enabled and applied to all computers. When the local machines are not receiving this properly, I have found the problem. I run services.ms sea and scroll down to the remote desktop services user mode port redirector. This service shows up as disabled. I can set it to automatic, then start it. Rebooting the computer the service remains enabled. Problem solved. Knowing how to resolve this is good, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why the group policy is not taking care of this. Thanks

office 365 groups and Outlook 2016
by Katherine M. Moss 30 Nov '17

30 Nov '17

Hello all, Was wondering whether anybody knows how to do this? My group has a couple of Office 365 groups, and I've gotten them to display in Outlook 2016, though I can't seem to figure out how to do liking and disliking, nor how to expand messages. I can do these functions just fine, though, via Android, just not in Outlook. The Office 365 support folks say that there is a way to do it via the Outlook desktop client, though. If anyone knows it, that'd be great. Thanks guys.

vmware workstation, linux guests, and USB thumb drives
by David Mehler 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

Hello, I'm running VMware workstation 11 on a win10 machine 64 bit. I've attempted to get a usb thumb drive to be recognized under three Linux guest distributions no success. They were Ubuntu 17.04/17.10, arch Linux latest, and Debian8. The drive is a USB2, I know that USB3 support is spotty from what I read, and I can see it in the vm removable devices. I disconnect the drive and connect it to the vm. In no case does the drive get detected, no /media/mountpoint and no /proc/bus/usb for the usbfs filesystem. What am I missing? Thanks. Dave.

Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 in place update breaks speech
by David Mehler 25 Nov '17

25 Nov '17

Hello, I've got a Ubuntu 17.04 vm working it was installed with speech so when it comes up I get speech. I did an update from 17.04 to 17.10 and lost speech. On investigating, apparently espeakup was removed, and speakup_soft was not loaded with the new kernel. I've looked in /etc/default/grub for the module load line didn't see it. Can anyone tell me how to reenable speakup_soft? Thanks. Dave.

Hi David, I use grml but i had a look at the cheatcodes file of knoppix. http://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppix-dvd/knoppix-cheatcodes.txt This states that when you enter the word adriane at the boot prompt knoppix comes up talking. Adriane was packaged on a separate cd a few years ago but now has merged into the dvd.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Virtualization MS Hyper-V
by Timothy Spaulding 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Here is what I know/have personally used: - The Hyper-V console is accessible for creating and configuring a Virtual Machine - the is no audio access for installing the OS on a Virtual Machine via Hyper-V (I have no knowledge/experience with the different flavors of VMWare) - Once the OS is installed and configured in the Virtual Machine, you can install JAWS as a remote client - As long as your local copy of JAWS has the remote option set on the authorization key you are using, then you can use the remote desktop app to connect to the remote machine and use it normally. If you attempt to connect within the Hyper-V console to the remote machine, this connects at the console level and JAWS will not use the remote authorization to activate the copy of JAWS on the remote machine.

Command line in Windows 10 build 17,040

Hi all, I was having a recent discussion on twitter with a couple of people regarding this very issue, and I've found mixed responses; some say that the recent command line issues with NVDA/JAWS are fixed, but it doesn't seem to be on my dell Latitude E6540. I have to launch Narrator every time I want to use the command line, and while that works, it's not ideal if I can help it. I much prefer the speed and agility of NVDA. Any advice? Thanks.

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.
