Re: Wine?
I've created a Windows10 VM and the GUI says it starts. It doesn't seem to capture my keystrokes. Typing Windows+R then narrator brings up some search box in Ubuntu. The Windows install may want a valid license (which I don't have anyway), but I can't tell. What next? On 05/18/2017 06:38 AM, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: Tony Baechler.

Try something like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -curses -enable-kvm -soundhw all -m 1G -boot d -cdrom bats64*.iso Make sure the above is all on one line. You probably need to load the kvm kernel module first: modprobe kvm_intel modprobe kvm To get the BATS64 CD, go here: http://iavit.org/~bats/ As always, read the Qemu manual for full docs on the command line switches. Obviously, using -curses won't help when installing Windows. I think you have to do that from the GUI, but I'm not sure. I can't help beyond that. Some people like VirtualBox better.

Re: Wine?
Howdy, I dont know about ubuntu and if they package python-tesserwrap. But you can install python modules by using pip (the python package manager). That one schould be available in every distribution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pip_(package_manager) OCRdesktop is written in python 3 so you need the dependencys for 3.x not 2.x. After install pip you can install tesserwrap with sudo pip install tesserwrap Or explicit for python 3: sudo pip3 install tesserwrap Cheers Chrys Am Freitag 19.

Re: Wine?
Tony Baechler. It looks like you want qemu from extra. Use the -curses switch. Try something like this: qemu-system-x86_64 -curses -enable-kvm -soundhw all -m 1G -boot d -cdrom bats64*.iso Make sure the above is all on one line. You probably need to load the kvm kernel module first: modprobe kvm_intel modprobe kvm To get the BATS64 CD, go here: http://iavit.org/~bats/ As always, read the Qemu manual for full docs on the command line switches.
