I’ve run Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 in VMware Workstation under Windows 10. I don’t run Mate though. I run Gnome. Are you familiar with VMware? You need to use alt+control to give access to the operating system in the virtual machine. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail From: orca-list <orca-list-bounces gnome org> On Behalf Of Glenn K0LNY Hi, I wrote maybe OT, because I don't know if the problem is Orca not starting or something else. I am running a 64 bit system with 8GB of RAM. I installed VmWare Player and installed UbuntuMate 18.43 64 bit into the VM. I found a list of keyboard commands, and it would seem that I'm likely in Ubuntu. It asked for a username and password during the VM install of Ubuntu, so I have tried my username and password upon opening the Ubuntu. I have tried everything I can think of to get Orca talking, and nothing yet. It normally works on this computer with Ubuntu 16.43 in a live session. I may have to try that, but before removing the 18, I wonder if folks have had any luck with VmWare in Windows as the host machine and Linux as the guest. Thanks. Glenn |
