thin clients and Linux
by mike 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

Hi, I am in the research stage but I was wondering on peoples thought of converting thin clients to small Linux machines. A contractor here in the place that I live sold me these old Hp thin Clients for about 10 dollars apiece and I was thinking of trying to either upgrade them to 7 or run Linux. So my questions if I were to upgrade them to 7 how much would the licenses cost to do this If I were to install Linux could it be done. I know how to install Linux but I guess I am asking is there anything I should be aware of when trying to install Linux on a thin client?

Emphasis on the simple--they don't provide the insert-q info. If you press ctrl-shft-r, they should toggle between reading and ignoring incoming text. The scripts are named "ssh" because that is what JFW is expecting for this program.

Hi. Trying to import tables from a access 2010 database. And got sql server 2014 developer 64 bit for windows 7 64 bit pro. Now. I have the access add on pack. But it says when I try to login does not like the user name, but able to login and my user name is : MARVIN-PC\SQLEXPRESS And when I try to import a text file odbc driver, says it is not configured. Do I need to uinstall and reinstall. This is driving me nuts. Marvin. Ps: and I have a sql database with tables already.

Building Windows VMs and provisioning them with NVDA?
by Jen Bottom 27 Aug '15

27 Aug '15

Hi all, I have been trying to build a Windows7 VM with packer and Vagrant, but it sits for ages and doesn't seem to get past the boot stage. I want to do this, so that I can provision them with NVDA, then connect with NVDA remote. Currently the VSphere version my company use for creating VMs for testing, does not allow us to add sound cards (or at least it looks that way). Some basic testing I did with NVDARemote, indicates to me that you will at least need a sound card in the other machine, but I have not looked in to this in detail. Anyway, if anyone has experience with using Packer to build Windows VMs, or has an adapted Packer File that may be of more use for my particular case, I would really appreciate some help and advice. Cheers, Jen.

Ubiquiti Access Points
by vic.pereira＠ssc-spc.gc.ca 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Good day everyone I've been asked if I can help install and setup a Ubiquiti Access Point. Before I make any promises I want to know if anyone has any experience with this AP and if it is reasonably accessible to Window-Eyes or NVDA. My experience doesn't stretch to dedicated access points, just a variety of routers and some data switches I accessed with terminal emulation software.
