Hello, I'm wanting to do an android upgrade on my phone. I don't have a pair of eyes around for this task. I was wondering if it were possible to cast the screen to my tablet, also running android, and have the tablet's talkback version work with the phone upgrade? Thanks. Dave.

debian 9.3 as guest on vmware workstation 14, win10 host
by David Mehler 03 Feb '18

03 Feb '18

Hello, I'm attempting to do an install of debian 9.3 x64 as a guest in workstation 14. The host OS is win10 v1709. I've read compatibility issues and have confirmed I am not using accelerated 3d graphics in the vm, and am using the LSI virtual scsi adapter in the vm. I'm using orca software speech for the install. At different points during the install speech stops and I'm assuming the vm has frozen. This does not happen at the same point of the install. The vm has 16GB of ram and a quad core processor for hardware. Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Authenticating using Authy, Google Authenticator, etc.
by Glen Gordon 01 Feb '18

Hi, I'm a newbie when it comes to these and haven't yet tried setting one up. My question is what's the easiest way to get a QR code into the authenticator app? All documentation talks about scanning it, something at which I'm not terribly skilled. I'd appreciate it if you'd share your experiences and offer up advice.

Driver management?
by Zameer Mahomed 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

Hi Listers, I'd like to please know what solutions do you make use of when it comes to driver management? I realise that many of you are sys admins and don't deal with managing existing drivers or installing new drivers, but for those who do, do you just download them from the official site? or are their tools that are able to get the correct drivers from the official sites? I am aware of the unofficial driverpacks, but would prefer not to use them for stability and security reasons. Your input would be much appreciated. Kind Regards

Accessible MDM?
by Anatoliy Shudrya 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi, Any recommendations for accessible MDM? I have tried Meraki, but the features are limited. I have also tried G Suite for Education MDM solution and it's not very accessible. If you manage mobile devices with a screen reader, what solution do you use? Kind Regards, Anatoliy

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] OneNote: How to convert notebooks into something more readable like HTML?
by Eigeldinger Simon 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi, I also have googled before as well but haven't found nothing useful. I played with the export feature to export the notebooks. though when you export to pdf it kind of does something though when it seems to be finished it hasn't created any file. You seem also to be able to convert each note to html or doc though you can do that with single notes and not with a whole notebook. we have over 200 notes so that would take a while and some info changes frequently.
