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

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

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.

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

Hello, I've got a usb thumb drive that I put Carlos's Win10PE on, thanks the man will be missed. Anyway, I've got a surface, model unknown and I'm needing to boot it off this usb thumb drive to both check out it's model and information about it as well as resetting the password. Anyone got the key combinations I'll need? Thanks. Dave.

NERF as an alternative for UEFI?
by Eigeldinger Simon 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi all, I just read an german article about NERF. That could be an alternative to UEFI. NERF is developed by Google and some other companys which might replace UEFI. I read about that in an article that mentioned in the first place about the guy who was able to turn off Intel Management Engine earlier this year. Today there was a new article that the man was able to enter into the engine and might also be able to replace UEFI with NERF. I wonder if NERF might be an alternative to UEFI for us because NERF is based on the Linux kernel. So we might be able to get something accessible. Haven't time at the moment to research further or to read more but i guess those 2 things might be interesting. Greetings, Simon

recovering data from a usb3 external hard drive
by David Mehler 06 Nov '17

06 Nov '17

Hello, This drive is not mine, nor is the error that brought it to me. A friend of mine, I believe if the information I have is accurate, mistakenly thought this drive a 4TB my passport Seagate I believe, quick formatted it. The size is 4tb of which 3.63tb show up. I had him get another drive, this one a 4tb western digital I believe it's an easy store, this one also with 3.63 tb available. This format was done on a win10 machine. I've tried twice to recover anything using the free recuva program. Running a deep scan shows 27 files but it can't get any of them. Running for a better word the light scan shows the same 27 files, but in that case I can highlight them all, right click, choose recover selected. I selected the easystore drive and attempted a recovery. First issue it told me that I needed 3.63tb only 3.62 were available. The drive had some content from western digital on it, I moved it off the drive and tried it again. This time it said insufficient space needed 3.63tb available 3.63tb, numbers were identical, but it asked me if I wanted to try a different recovery path, which that's the only drive I've got that can recover such a substancial load. Then I thought well maybe when both the my passport was originally formatted/partitioned and accidentally quick formatted, maybe the cluster sizes were incompatible between the my passport and the easystore. So I went in to format, didn't do anything to either drive, but compared the cluster size, blew my theory away both have a cluster size of 4096k. I hit cancel so nothing more was done. I'm kind of stuck. It takes about a day for the initial scan, i'm assuming the same neartime for the recovery, this is my third attempt. I then got the idea of recovering each of the 27 individual files. Tried that and it said I didn't have permissions to perform the recovery operation, which makes no sense, I'm an admin on this box, also win10 pro, his win10 is home, but neither of those usb drives should be dealing with permissions, even though they're both ntfs. I'd appreciate any suggestions, I'm kind of stuck. Thanks. Dave.

Hi David, You could use any linux distro. the most have those tools by default if you want to install a vm. grml isn't made for that though you could try. maybe grml2hd is still in there. though the wiki and google is a good friend on that. I also would do that on bare metal. Better to do that that way instead over a vm because then the hd can be accessed directly.

HP ALM
by Brian Moore 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hi all. Can't remember if I asked about this one before. At work we have now completed a move from IBM Clearquest as a bug tracker which I could sort of use to this new HP alm thing which is really awful. The desktop client is pretty much unusable unless I am missing something big and the mobile version is sort of usable but seriously lacks functionality! Since the vast majority of my job is keeping track of issues that people log against projects now in ALM, this will likely mean no contract renewal. They might do it anyway because spending public money to create a new accessibility barrier for staff looks bad politically but I am not all that interested in a job as a poster exhibit! Anyone had any success with this thing? My other fun toy they have now implemented is Planview for time tracking but that thing is sort of usable but difficult.

2fa accessibility thereof
by David Mehler 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hello, To those of you who are using 2fa solutions how accessible and easy to use do you find them? I'm looking at implementing 2fa but am not sure which way to go and would appreciate some recommendations. I've read that sms texting where you get an OTP six-digit code is insecure, is this correct because this option would be easiest? Same lines a TOTP solution can I limit as to how long the token is good for? With regards google authenticator can it secure other services other than google? I'm thinking dropbox or does dropbox have native 2fa support? Lastly has anyone used sites that will allow a biometric such as a fingerprint to be utilized as the second factor or the authy service? My goal is to increase service security for both my home/home users and contract users, while keeping things as easy as possible as some of these people are not really technology-savvy. The issue that got me asking this question was how to best protect a keypass database stored on either a google drive or dropbox server, against compromise of the underlying service while still making it available for multiple device connections. Thanks. Dave.

How do I get JFW to Stop Announcing Text Attributes
by vic.pereira＠ssc-spc.gc.ca 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Greetings I have not been successful in getting JFW to stop announcing text attributes such as “bold”, “normal”, etc. in Internet Explorer and FireFox. This doesn’t happen in any other application. It appears as if it doesn’t do it in read-to-end, but only when I arrow through the web pages. I went into Quick Settings and attribute changes are not checked. I also went into the Settings manager to confirm that any application specific settings are set to be the same. This is on Windows 10 and running JFW 17.basic Vic Pereira Project Manager, Networks and End Users Branch Shared Services Canada, Government of Canada vic.pereira(a)ssc-spc.gc.ca<mailto:vic.pereira@ssc-spc.gc.ca> / Tel: 204-781-5046 Gestionnaire de Projet, Direction Générale des Réseaux et des Utilisateurs Finaux Services partagés Canada, Gouvernement du Canada vic.pereira(a)ssc-spc.gc.ca<mailto:vic.pereira@ssc-spc.gc.ca> / Tél. : 204-781-5046

softphone recommendations
by Katherine M. Moss 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hello all, I forget what the concensus was when we discussed this before, but I seem to be finding difficulties finding a softphone that has both accessibility as well as a good feature set; particularly, I need the ability to pull contacts and what not from Active Directory since we use that; I've heard of Microsip, though I know that it does not support this feature. If X-Lite/Bria used to be accessible, they aren't now; unlabeled fields everywhere which cannot be seemingly deciphered via object navigation with NVDA (Haven't tried JAWS, but I will.) We're using Asterisk for the server if that matters. Thanks.

Note however that formatting non flash USB drives, such as USB HDDs, is not officially supported for now. Use at your own risks!

terminal in Windows 10
by David Thomas 26 Oct '17

26 Oct '17

Hello, I've installed the Windows 10 fall creators update plus the stable version of jaws 2018. When I go into the terminal to work with bash or power shell jaws just says text area, and doesn't read the output automatically. When I up arrow it says C:\users\username, and nothing else. I'm wondering if there are any specific settings that you need to configure in the terminal properties to make the screen reader work optimally. Any help would be appreciated.
