Re: [orca-list] VmWare problem



Hi,

How did you get VMWare to work in linux? I tried in ubuntu 17+ and it always fails to work. I have tried 
VMWare 12.5 all the way up to 14.1.1.

Hi Glenn,

Are you sure that Ubuntu has the keyboard focus?  If not, your keystrokes will not go through to the guest 
operating system.

I use VMWare on linux, and by default VMWare does not grab keyboard focus unless you either put the VM into 
full screen or press Ctrl+G (or click with the mouse somewhere inside the guest operating system's window)

So when you hear the bongos, try Ctrl+G, and then try the Orca key 
combination which is Alt+Super+S.   Orca should start speaking.

Regards,

Nick

Hi,
Today I installed VmWare on a Windows 7 machine with 8GB of RAM.
I created a machine that boots Ubuntu 16.4.3 from the ISO.
It did not take long, and I heard the bongo sound, like as in the 
log-in window.
The VmWare required me to create a user name and password.
I made up something that satisfied the required fields and continued 
to the hear the aforementioned bongo sound.
So I tried putting in my newly created user name and password, and I 
could not seemingly boot to the desktop.
I tried control + S, and I tried alt + F2 and entering orca, and still 
seemingly nothing.
I gave the machine 4GB RAM of the 8GB.
Maybe I did not wait long enough for it to install?
When that did not work, I deleted that one, and created another, this 
time giving it the user name and password both of "ubuntu".
Still, nothing.
Given that the bongo sound happened, isn't it just about installed at 
that point?
Thanks for any assistance.
Glenn
