Roughly five or six years ago I used the Solarwinds web interface. It worked very nicely with Window-eyes. Since I am no longer watching for alerts and managing servers over a wide area network, I am not able to speak to how recent versions work with JFW. If the web interfaces are the same I don't see it being a problem, because they were using standard HTML controls.

It is actually though valid to have a GPT partition in Windows 7 as it supports EFI, but it isn't a common configuration.

Visual studio Code accessibility. Working with Arduino.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 02 Jan '18

02 Jan '18

I really like the UI of visual Studio Code. It makes perfect sense and I really like that when using it with NVDA, the verbosity is just perfect! But I'm having a problem when trying to upload sketches to the Arduino. I'm not sure what that problem is as I'm not getting any details. There's nothing in the output window. Here are my questions. Can anyone assist please? 1. When uploading to the Arduino. Do I need to explicitly initialize the board? This wasn't necessary in previous IDE's. 2. Should the output window report on the success or the failure of uploading the sketch? 3. Is the bod rate and serial connection saved when the Visual studio code editor is restarted? I don't think it is. 4. When I show the serial port but I close the output window, how is it re-enabled again? There's no window menu. I generally just try the output window again. Any other tips appreciated.

cloning a vm virtual drive
by David Mehler 26 Dec '17

26 Dec '17

Hello, I'm using VMware workstation and have a vm with a separate virtual drive. It is now full. What I'm wanting to do is add a new virtual hard drive, a larger one, this I can do. I'm then needing to clone the smaller drive to the larger one growing the partition size. So say a 40gb drive to a 60gb drive, the partition would be sixty gb in size. For reference this is on a Ubuntu 17.04 vm. I'd like to use Linux tools. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Dave.

disk image lite image convert vhd or iso?
by David Mehler 22 Dec '17

Hello, I've got a disk image lite backup of a drive saved to a usb portable drive. What I'm wanting to do is mount that image either on a host system as an iso, or possibly as input to a virtual machine as a vhd to use live, i'm wanting to search said image for some missing files. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
