Re: [orca-list] Orca and Vmware Workstation 12

How sure are you that it's not in the dialog boxasking you for your 
password so it can build the kernel modules?
It's been a while since I messed round with vmware but it also used to 
ask for a license key. The debian wiki used to have instructions for 
installing the license key from a command prompt. You can google that. 
As far as the dialog box for compiling the kernel modules, I used to get 
past that by running vmware the first time logged in as root at the 
console. It would still recognize that the kernel modules needed to be 
compiled even though there was no GUI. Once the kernel modules are 
compiled, you can go back to running it from the GUI as a regular user.

I've switched to virtualbox. The virtualbox GUI has accessibility 
problems but it has  a really nice command line interface. I just have 
all the commands in a script and just last night, I created a Windows vm 
in about 20 minutes and 19 minutes of that was installing Windows.
