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.

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.

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?
