Anyone have any tips getting to the point where I could get speech on both sides of the fence? Trying to run Windows 10 in order to work on SCCM. In windows I seem to almost always turn narrator on instead of the VM Over on the Mac, can't seem to consistently be in the window in order to be in the VM. I'm probably missing something simple German

Tool to Monitor and Report Out the Stability of Internet Connection
by Mika Pyyhkala 17 Aug '17

17 Aug '17

At home I am having some intermittent connectivity issues with my new Comcast Xfinity 1Gig service. I am looking for a tool that could monitor the up time of the connection, and report on the number and duration of outages. Ideally the solution would look like: 1. A hardware device like an iPad that would ping a server or servers out on the cloud to verify connectivity of the premises; 2. A cloud based service that would report on the duration and number of outages. In doing a couple of hours of research, the best and most closest solution I found was a utility you can run on a pc that will log the connectivity and down time periods called Net Uptime Monitor: https://netuptimemonitor.com/details/ This would work I just have a preference not to have to install extra software on a computer, and I like the idea of a dedicated hardware appliance and cloud service. Also if doing this kind of test say at another location it may be best if you don't have to install anything on the computers, etc. I think this could be done with a raspberry pie but not having experience with them it may take a long time to get that setup, but that could be a good setup as well. I don't know if you can get one that has some preconfigured utilities like this you may be able to run. I did read an article where someone had a tricked out setup with a raspberry pie and I think it used IFTTT. But again I do have an iPad just sitting on a shelf waiting to do this. I'd be open to also having an Android tablet do the job. Also I've used a batch file with ping that writes to a text file but then you have to manually go through it to identify the time slots when the connection is down. I'll paste the contents of the batch file at the end of the message in case anyone wants it. In conclusion, just curious if you have any ideas or if I am stuck using these pc type utilities. Best, Mika Pyyhkala (contents of .bat file) @echo off : Gerard ORourke : simple PING with Timestamp set ADDRESS=8.8.8.8 :You can use any address the above is for Google Set COUNT=4 :This sets the number of ping attempts per cycle set FILENAME=Output-PING.txt echo Ping Started.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] fedora

Hi, I hope you waited long enough. It depends on your machine. If its a hd i would wait around 8-9 minutes. if its a ssd i would wait 3-4 minutes. then you can start playing with it. i often wait 10 minutes randomly hitting the < button because this doesn't harm the boot process but keeps the screen saver from gnome from getting in the way. Some OSs like opensuse or paldo have a boot sound. Fedora i guess doesn't have that. So its a little bit trial and error though after a while you have the hang of it how long it takes until the box has booted. Have you given enough ram? 2 gb or more is good.

Hi, It depends on your machine. If its a hd i would wait around 8-9 minutes. if its a ssd i would wait 3-4 minutes. then you can start playing with it. i often wait 10 minutes randomly hitting the < button because this doesn't harm the boot process but keeps the screen saver from gnome from getting in the way. Some OSs like opensuse or paldo have a boot sound. Fedora i guess doesn't have that. So its a little bit trial and error though after a while you have the hang of it how long it takes until the box has booted.

Hi Ibrahim, Generally there is a lot of general linux documentation and fedora specific stuff online. though there are some mailing lists like the sonar gnu/linux mailng list which is also not distro specific. not all are using sonar on that list but they also help with other distros like fedora. Subscribing is possible by sending a e-mail to support-request(a)sonargnulinux.com with subscribe as the subject. Which ISO have you downloaded of fedora?
