Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu 12.10, VMWare player, and Windows 7.

On some versions of Ubuntu, maybe all versions, when you reboot there is a message on the screen to hit Enter or Space to continue.  It maybe that it only does this if there is a CD mounted. 

Give the JAWS Convenience OCR a try.  It should give you good results in this case because it is has good contrast, white characters on a black background.  For best results, in VMware, hide the toolbars and sidebar and maximize the window.  I had originally asked Freedom Scientific for this feature just for this purpose, working with Virtual Machines.  I even gave them an OCR feature I added into my JAWS Script.  Their implementation is much better because you can interact with the results!

I have Windows 7 x64 installed as the host OS, and as the only OS on my laptop at this point. I am trying Ubuntu 12.10 as a VM with VMware player 5.0.0, which is the latest version, if I remember. I wanted to do this to make sure all is “GO” before dumping it on a partition next to Windows. Every time I restart the VM, it seems like VMWare player hangs/gets stuck after it restarts, but before the boot cycle starts. Has anyone had this experience? If so, how do you deal with it?

 

I can try to get the OCR from JAWS and report it, but I don’t know if it will give me much.
