Re: VMware Fusion/Player

2024-02-10 Thread 'Sabahattin Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries
Thanks for the report. I wonder why Narrator is now broken during setup? Do you 
suppose it applies to physical installs as well? Anyone know, tried it?

Anyway, I too am now running the beta and can confirm that it works for my 
Linux VM, in which I now have Braille through BRLTTY and, at least, PC Speaker 
support. Thank goodness. It was getting rather tortured, just using Terminal. 
But I’ve learned my lesson from this little episode, and that is that we must 
be prepared to jump out of an aeroplane at 30,000 feet, when times get 
desperate. Or something—I’m still working out what my options are, but keeping 
this BootCamp Windows partition seems prudent, as does getting to grips with 
UTM as a backup. I’d been meaning to renew this VM, anyway—it’s way out of date 
now.

Cheers,
Sabahattin

Re: VMware Fusion/Player

2024-02-10 Thread Kelly Ford
Well,

I am now running a VMWare VM on my M1 Mac. I have to use VOCR to get through 
setup and then add VMWare tools.  Only then did I get Narrator sound.

I’m not entirely sure why because I did get the windows startup sound after 
going through the first steps of OS install where you enter a product key and 
such. But I didn’t have Narrator speech.

Hi,

For what it is worth, my Mac updated to the latest developer beta today. VMware 
virtual machines do not shutdown immediately any longer but I’m not getting any 
sound from a VM to use Narrator during OS install

I am trying to get through it with VOCR so we will see.
