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

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.

Hi David, Here's the accessibility wiki page on the grml wiki: https://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=accessibility And the one about persistency: https://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=persistency Greetings, Simon -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] Im Auftrag von David Mehler Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

Two things, how do you get grml going with speech? I'll be running it from a thumb drive, how fast and what capacity are your grml thumb drive? Also, do you do anything with persistent storage? A few years ago I was unable to make this feature work. Thanks. Dave.

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.
