How does one get a Knoppix rescue system to talk?
by David Mehler 16 Nov '17

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.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7

Hi, I figured out that this problem isn't NVDA specific. i also figured that out that this issue is also present on that computer when i install nvda next. Seems that might be a win 7 or firefox problem.

I am not surprised about this as NVDA and Firefox have a close relationship. The question is the new version going to be on the Mac platform and if so, will Voice-Over users be impacted? -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Chris T via Blind-sysadmins Sent: Wednesday, 15 November 2017 8:00 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Cc: Chris T <ultimatethesecond(a)googlemail.com> Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7 As an alternative, the water fox browser might be worth a go.

Outlook 2010 IMAP account with multiple inboxes
by Ryan Mann 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

I have just switched somebody over to use IMAP instead of POP in Outlook 2010. She is able to send and receive email, but there is one problem. This person now has multiple inboxes and I think she also has more than one sent items folder. I set this account up in a different profile from her other email accounts. What do we need to do to fix this? I searched on Google and so far, I just found things about people wanting to have multiple accounts go to one inbox. We only have one account that has multiple inboxes.

surface pro 3 bitlocker decryption recovery key
by David Mehler 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hello, Well, I am stuck. As I said I got the surface pro 3 to boot off USB media, in this case it's microsoft-provided recovery image. All went well, until I tried to wipe and restore the system, I selected something like remove all, thinking it would nuke the partition, it started, then said it couldn't continue as the system was missing a required partition. Now earlier in the process I selected skip the key because I didn't and don't have it. This I have come to learn is the bitlocker drive encryption key. This machine does have a tpm chip in it so I assume it stores the key there. The problem is it was most likely backed up on the previous owner's skydrive account, which I don't and can't get access to obviously. The only thing I do have is the KEY ID which it says go to windows.microsoft.com/recoverykeyfaq to utilize. This is not valid because it points to the skydrive account, or written down/printed out key, or key on a USB thumb drive, I have none of that. I'm open to suggestions. The one other idea I have is to try derrick's boot n nuke on the drive, totally smoke it and do a fresh install from the USB recovery image I have. Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.

Firefox 57 Quantum and NVDA under Win 7
by Eigeldinger Simon 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Hi all, System: Win 7 Pro 64 Bit Screenreader: NVDA 2017.3 Firefox Version: 57.0 64 Bit I just installed Firefox 57 Quantum on this machine. I read online that this version should be more performant than the older versions and use less system resources. though i had to downgrade again to version 56.0.2 and disabling updates for a while because my pc decided to not like that version all that much. CPU usage rose drastically and the computer became unresponsive. I wonder if that is a NVDA thing or other people might have the same issues with other assistive technology. Greetings, Simon

booting a surface from usb media
by David Mehler 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hello, I've got a usb thumb drive that I put Carlos's Win10PE on, thanks the man will be missed. Anyway, I've got a surface, model unknown and I'm needing to boot it off this usb thumb drive to both check out it's model and information about it as well as resetting the password. Anyone got the key combinations I'll need? Thanks. Dave.

NERF as an alternative for UEFI?
by Eigeldinger Simon 10 Nov '17

10 Nov '17

Hi all, I just read an german article about NERF. That could be an alternative to UEFI. NERF is developed by Google and some other companys which might replace UEFI. I read about that in an article that mentioned in the first place about the guy who was able to turn off Intel Management Engine earlier this year. Today there was a new article that the man was able to enter into the engine and might also be able to replace UEFI with NERF. I wonder if NERF might be an alternative to UEFI for us because NERF is based on the Linux kernel. So we might be able to get something accessible. Haven't time at the moment to research further or to read more but i guess those 2 things might be interesting. Greetings, Simon
