The description of the flags is below. xcopy c:\ d:\ /h/i/c/k/e/r/y In this command data will be copied from c:\ to D:\, even folders and system files as well. Here's what the flags do: list of 7 items * /h copies hidden and system files also * /i if destination does not exist and copying more than one file, assume that destination must be a directory * /c continue copying even if error occurs * /k copies attributes * /e copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones * /r overwrites read-only files * /y suppress prompting to confirm whether you want to overwrite a file list end Best, Billy -----Original Message----- From: Troy Hergert Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2019 2:59 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Xcopy question Hello everyone, I use a bat file with an xcopy command to copy the contents of a folder on one nas drive to another. It does not tseem to copy new sub folders. My command line is as follows with I believe appropriate switches. Is xcopy the best route to go for this kind of procedure. I try to run the command every month or so to get a backup of my main utilities folder. It's around 150 Gb. New files within existing folders copy no problem but new subfolders and their contents do not. they seem to just get ignored. Thanks for any advice. xcopy "x:\utilities\*.*" y:\utilities\" /s /d /c /y Troy ### _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list -- blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org To unsubscribe send an email to blind-sysadmins-leave(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org --===============1477515045041556569==-- From dave.mehler@gmail.com Fri Jan 4 18:57:11 2019 From: David Mehler To: blind-sysadmins@lists.hodgsonfamily.org Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] chillispot hotspot Date: Fri, 04 Jan 2019 13:57:01 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============6013384506430309277==" --===============6013384506430309277== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, Does anyone use chillispot as a hotspot captive portal?

I also think that Microsoft should tailor it a bit and do what Apple does, which is to ask a short question at the beginning of the install to determine if voice guidance is wanted. That having been said, I know at least four non-visually-impaired people who installed their copies of Windows using the Cortana method and found it useful and helpful. But of course you are absolutely correct about image deployment across an enterprise. These issues would not, do not, crop up.

I originally thought this was the Windows 10 RE mode speech we were talking a= bout but we were talking about the OOBE. I am not sure what the end decision= is on the talking OOBE now, but I agree that the way they implemented it was= probably a bit dumb in the sense that everyone else I know of hates the thin= g and wants to get rid of it. Also if you try and use it without enabling Na= rrator you will have a tough time, so I think it needs addressing. However t= he podcast was totally wrong and the comments made were at best misguided and= at worse will only serve to clarify people's misguided opinion on what peopl= e with little or no sight can do on a computer. I am not sure what the state of the talking OOBE will be going forward, but I= like the way Apple do this after a while of silence, and then only giving th= e minimum of noise. If I can find it the BCAB (presenter me!) did a presentation on installing Wi= ndows from a completely blank disk and everyone was extremely pleased with th= e work that MS did. However I did do a survey afterwards about how many peop= le would try this on their own and in a room of 40 people only 2 said they wo= uld try it actively which although I wasn't surprised, it did make me feel a = bit sad.

Using the Windows client if I pop the gateway 192.168.0.1 in I get a Sky HUB!= I don't have Sky! I am in an apartment. Is it possible that my apartment and the other apartme= nt are sharing wiring and that's what's happening? If so, weird and how can = I get off this network and just onto my own? Also, I was using this powerlin= e adaptor two days aago and I could access my network!

Hi, Sorry only just got around to this now - I don't really listen to many podcas= ts so had to make a bit of time. I originally thought this was the Windows 10 RE mode speech we were talking a= bout but we were talking about the OOBE. I am not sure what the end decision= is on the talking OOBE now, but I agree that the way they implemented it was= probably a bit dumb in the sense that everyone else I know of hates the thin= g and wants to get rid of it. Also if you try and use it without enabling Na= rrator you will have a tough time, so I think it needs addressing. However t= he podcast was totally wrong and the comments made were at best misguided and= at worse will only serve to clarify people's misguided opinion on what peopl= e with little or no sight can do on a computer. I am not sure what the state of the talking OOBE will be going forward, but I= like the way Apple do this after a while of silence, and then only giving th= e minimum of noise. If I can find it the BCAB (presenter me!) did a presentation on installing Wi= ndows from a completely blank disk and everyone was extremely pleased with th= e work that MS did. However I did do a survey afterwards about how many peop= le would try this on their own and in a room of 40 people only 2 said they wo= uld try it actively which although I wasn't surprised, it did make me feel a = bit sad.

I've had good results with the Windows port of Iperf3 to do this recently & the process of optimizing everything to get the best speeds possible was actually quite fun although largely redundant as the internet connection of the network in question was only DSL.

Kortana does not come up talking about narrator, it comes up with a demeaning your to dumb to set up a computer on your own so I'm going to hold your hand and walk you through everything spiel. Because of this he would have no way of knowing that Narrator is a good screen reader and that it can be used to do Windows setup. I'd have a bigger issue if Microsoft had actually done a compitant job with first run and install accessibility such as Apple. There's no reason your computer should start shouting at you with a dumb personality. If the implimentation was that Narrator started speaking five minutes after install started assuming there was no user action up to that point and the hosts were complaining about that then I would be willing to consider that they were against accessibility. Currently there just against crappy accessibility implimentations that make Windows less usable for the vast majority of users including me.

It doesn't bother me.=20 What I care about is that narrator works when I call it.=20 But Paul didn't address this.=20 He was far more interested in having a rant. It didn't matter if that rant wa= s accurate or not.=20 The same thing happens time and time again with Paul. He had a rant about Int= el not getting below 10 nanometer and Qualcom getting to 7 nanometer. Meanwh= ile he must have known that the methods of measurements used differ between I= ntel and Qualcom. If Intel used the same measurement methods, they were actu= ally first to the market with 7 nanometer prints. But this didn't fit with th= e naritive of Paul's rant that day so it was conveniently not mentioned.=20 When it comes to nanometers, I don't care. It doesn't effect me.=20 But when it comes to the perceptions around how difficult accessibility may b= e or may not be to implement, or the expectations around how independent a bl= ind computer user or system administrator may be, then yes.

I studied for it by reading all the material I could get my hands on and where I could, I worked with test engines such as Transcender, CCCure and the test engine from Wiley Books. Taking the test was grueling. I requested and received extra time, but my test was like a big word document with check boxes to choose answers. I had to wait almost 2 weeks to find out my score. I believe I spent about 7 hours on the test because of the crappiness of the format. I did that 2 years ago, the new version of the test is supposed to be different but I do not know how it would be formatted now for us. Despite all of that, I still managed to get a DoD job.

What are the most accessible options for creating a backup of the existing drive and its Windows partitions, before I make changes? I've installed several distributions of Linux before, but on BIOS-based systems, and without another operating system installed. UEFI and Secure Boot complicate the situation. I've asked on a Linux User's Group list as well, bu= t any suggestions that subscribers here can offer (or good links taht I might any advice that subscribers here can offer, or links to good references taht I may not ahve found, would be welcome. The laptop also has Intel Management Engine firmware, but it hasn't been configured.

However, this would also involve copying the entire drive - including all of the free space (most of the capacity of the 1TB SSD at this point). Writing to a compressed file is an option, of course, which should at least compress the free space, although the entire disk would still need to be read. At least the SSD does have an NVM-Express interface. With the other backup tools, so far as I've determined, I would need to decrypt the partitions for them to access the NTFS file systems.

However, it isn't half as much fun as trying to dig into how it really works at the Linux level. Yes, I got as far as finding a few syno commands but the problem seems to be that all the config done through the web interface is stashed away in a config db that gets used during start up to ensure the thing 100% complies with what was done through the GUI interface. A perfectly fair thing to do I know but a pain for nosy people like me who want to find a command line alternative to doing everything that is done by the GUI. By the way, it is a bit more than "a few minutes" to find your way round the GUI to do all the things you need to do. Of course I, like anyone on this list, am perfectly capable of using the GUI, using NVDA where that is better and JAWS when that is better. It was just that I was curious if it could somehow all be done from the Linux shell. Anyway, thanks for the comments. Cheers, Phil. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Nestrud Sent: 23 January 2019 22:01 To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: changed subject: synology The web interface seems to call several not-so-well-documented programs. Many start with 'syno'. For example I believe synoshare lets you manipulate network shares. Other than that you can use standard tools such as lvresize for adding space to existing logical volumes. It's probably easier to take a few minutes to become familiar with the oddities of the web interface though.

It detected the NTFS file systems and took a backup of the system drive to an external hard drive that I had with an XFS file system on it. For those who are not on the Orca mailing list where this was announced, the latest (slightly unofficial) Talking Arch can be found at http://talkingarch.info/ It loads Speakup for speech, and BRLTTY for braille, then leaves you at a root shell prompt.

My next steps will be to try to shrink the main Windows partition so that I can install Linux on the free space. -----Original Message----- From: Jason White via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2019 7:00 PM To: Fernando.Botelho(a)F123.org; 'Blind sysadmins list' Cc: Jason White Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Some backup and UEFI questions There's also an interesting list of tools here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/disk_cloning If I use dd, I might not need to decrypt the NTFS partitions, which are protected by BitLocker. However, this would also involve copying the entire drive - including all of the free space (most of the capacity of the 1TB SSD at this point). Writing to a compressed file is an option, of course, which should at least compress the free space, although the entire disk would still need to be read. At least the SSD does have an NVM-Express interface. With the other backup tools, so far as I've determined, I would need to decrypt the partitions for them to access the NTFS file systems. I'm still thinking about it... -----Original Message----- From: Fernando Botelho On Behalf Of Fernando Botelho Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2019 10:35 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Cc: Jason White Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Some backup and UEFI questions If you are confortable with Linux, you can use dd for entire drives, and later on, storeBackup for more routine backup operations. People like rsync a lot, but storeBackup is an entirely new level of features, including incremental backups and much more. All available via command line.

The first interface is used to connect to the Internet over a powerline adapter. The second interface is directly connected to my PC for fast file transfers. I've assigned the second interface an IP of 169.254.100.100 which is in the autoconfiguration range. On my host, I am able to access my nas, However, I'd like to access my nas directly from a virtual machine using VMware workstation. I've added a network of VMNet2 I've bridged VMNet 2 the physical NIC which is connected to my NAS. I've added a virtual NIC under the settings for the specific VM. in the VM, under IPV4, I've given the virtual NIC a static IP in the 169.254.100 range and set the gateway to point to the same IP of the second interface on my nas. I can ping my NAS, but can't access it in file explorer. I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong? Help would be much appreciated.
