Well, if you mean the integration of all the tools in an out of the box installed product, it's certainly there on Linux for many users. The a11y use case has also been demonstrated by small distro knockoffs like Vinux. It's not there, however, at the level that you can head over to Best Buy and

Hi, Your Mac uses netbios to share its folders. This is why it's relatively easier to share your host's file system in a Windows VMware guest machine--netbios is natively a Microsoft way of doing such things. You have two choices for access Mac hosted file systems under Linux virtual machines:

Well, I think the reason so few people use Linux desktops has more to do with the Linux industry deciding to focus on the back office. There were some very specific corporate decisions about this in the mid 2000's. I was in the middle of them as Chair of the Open A11y work. All of sudden,

Did you run the integrity check on the ISO image? I have not used Sonar, but there's surely some kind of checksum provided, and you should use it to ascertain that the file you have on your local drive is a true copy of the original. It might, for example, require you to run a sha command of some

Keyboard shortcuts broken after VMware's remote support

Hi Once Again, In my other two messages about my saga with my upgrade to VMware 8, I've explained how I successfully got past the problems with VMware's reliance on Cisco Webex for remote access. I've also described the partial success VMware Tech Support had fixing my issue. Windows works, Linux

Hi, My second update on my problem with of no sound in my virtual machines after upgrading to VMware 8. After getting through the issues of allowing VMware support remote access to my Airbook, the problem for Windows 7 was solved fairly easily. There was apparently a screen popup that I had never

Thanks, Roland. It's good to know I'm not alone, though your issue sounds a bit different. Myself, I never get the slightest bit of sound from the virtual machine. Roland Zitzke writes: > Hello Janina, > > Am Donnerstag, 31. Dezember 2015 23:48:13 UTC+1 schrieb Janina Sajka: > > > > > > I've

Hi, All: I was just on the phone with VMware tech support. The idea was that we would establish a Webex session that would allow the tech access to my Airbook to figure out, hopefully, what's wrong with the sound in my virtual machines. I was unable to get him on. Per his instructions, I opened
