At least for me, there's no reason to apologize for having to run
the occasional Windows application. I'm having trouble with VMware
Player and Ubuntu 16.04 right now, but I think this is a problem
unique to me. I'd suggest giving VMware Player a try. I've run
Windows under VMware Player under vinux with no problem, including
accessing the GUI with Orca. I'm also planning on checking out
KVM, which I've hear other blind people have used successfully.
Blind people have also used Virtual Box, but my understanding is
that they have to use the command line interface.
Guys,
I've got what will hopefully be a real quick question, for the
most part. I say for the most part, as I hope this won't take
lots of configuring and middle mucking around. If it does
though, well, then, I guess it does.
Anyway, LOL,
I need to install a VM of Windows which I can run on top of my
Ubuntu Mate 17.10 machine.
I know a lot of you, if not most wouldn't advise doing this for
security and stability, but I don't have much a choice. The
class which I'm taking online uses a piece of software which s
propriatary, and absolutely has no, alternative nor Linux port.
Believe me, I looked for hours.
I don't plan to use Windows hardly at all. I'm only needing it
for this one thing, really. I've talked to the instructor, and
they are unwilling to move to a Linux capable platform, which is
unfortunate, but it's what it is.
So, are there any good VM managers out there which would work
with the official build of Orca packaged with Ubuntu 17.10? I
don't yet feel comfortable building it from the git hub without
a lot of help along the way.
I know about Virtualbox, but I hear there are definitely some
issues with it, and Orca.
I'm not afraid to learn a few command line things, as long as
they are fairly easy, which I hear Virtualbox can be a bit of a
pain on the CLI.
Help much appreciated.
Chris.
