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

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.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] How does one get a Knoppix rescue system to talk?

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? Thanks. Dave. _______________________________________________ Blind-sysadmins mailing list Blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org https://lists.hodgsonfamily.org/listinfo/blind-sysadmins

Hi, A slight longshot I know but we use logrhythm on a terminal server. Before I go to the trouble of getting our hardware guys to install JFW on the server so I can use it remotely, does anyone know if the logrhythm console is accessible?

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Virtualization MS Hyper-V
by Timothy Spaulding 20 Nov '17

Here is what I know/have personally used: - The Hyper-V console is accessible for creating and configuring a Virtual Machine - the is no audio access for installing the OS on a Virtual Machine via Hyper-V (I have no knowledge/experience with the different flavors of VMWare) - Once the OS is installed and configured in the Virtual Machine, you can install JAWS as a remote client - As long as your local copy of JAWS has the remote option set on the authorization key you are using, then you can use the remote desktop app to connect to the remote machine and use it normally. If you attempt to connect within the Hyper-V console to the remote machine, this connects at the console level and JAWS will not use the remote authorization to activate the copy of JAWS on the remote machine.

My small nonprofit has finally come to a point where my LAN support team is recommending that we consider virtualizing our server. I am being advised to run Microsoft hyper V , so that I can virtual eyes a 2012 server, along with a linux server. Would someone kindly remind me what the current level of accessibility is regarding speech with jaws or NVDA in those environments? Thanks.
