Re: [orca-list] Virtual Box with Orca

[kendell clark <coffeekingms gmail com>]

hi
Virtualbox is nearly completely accessible with orca. It's qt4, so can
still be a little quirky, but the menus read, all the dialog boxes read,
etc. The one thing that does not read is the list of vm's. This has been
the case for as long as I've been on linux. I'm not at all sure why.
Vmware player is an option but can be a hassle to maintain if you're on
an arch based distro. Since you're on ubuntu this shouldn't be a problem
though. There's also gnome boxes, although if you're used to the
"seemless" functions like clipboard sharing and hardware passthrough,
gnome boxes doesn't support that stuff yet, although I hear it's being
worked on
Thanks
