Hello, I'm going through my compatibility test; however, since I'm not using wired ethernet due to the location of my ethernet outlets, would I still be able to configure my network or I'll have to move to a location with the ethernet adapter?

Trying to configure the network, and I'm unable to turn on the internet on the system because apparently "The ethernet is unplugged". That's the message I'm getting and the button is grayed out.

Wired ethernet is a recommendation (not a requirement) as it provides the best connection estability for the exams.

If your wifi adapter is not recognized (you should see multiple adapters, or an adapter under the Wifi settings), you'll probably need to use the wired connection.

Hope this clarifies.

My laptop microphone does not work . Do we really need microphone to work or we allow to attach external speaker using USB ? 

[Rilindo]

If you look at the video about remote exam, you are allowed to add a microphone and other external audio equipment.

Hii, when we have remote exam can enable only external camera is okay?

[PetrCihlar]

yes, you may have just one camera, but it has to be external. No other camera is needed. What RH has to see is this

Hi,

you need to select rhexboot.iso . work laptops might have restrictions and hence there is an error. you can always reach to remote exam readiness support for quick assistance.

I am wondering how can i rebind vim "ctrl-w" to alternate multiple panes. i ve lost a lot of time due to the fact i couldnt use multiple panes during the exam, since "ctrl-w" doesn't work.

I am not a vim expert, so i wondering how to do it,, without screwing with the other shortcut.

[Fran_Garcia]

As an avid ^W user (for closing browser tabs) I don't think there's an easy way to avoid this in the exam environment.

For editing files, I've trained myself to use a graphical editor (like gedit) as a kind of clipboard, and use Ctrl+Shift+C to copy, Ctrl+Shift+V to paste. That works well for gedit, the terminal/vim/others and anything that needs to be copied verbatim from the exam (if anything).
