Re: [Trisquel-users] orca screen reader in installer
Those who need orca cannot easily install it, nor can they use a live system without it. To me, no orca is a black screen. Orca can be easily removed or deactivated. This said, we may be able to build the production Trisquel 7 without the automatic startup of orca on the live system, since gnome now has a universal toggle 'alt+super+s' to toggle the screen reader. As long as orca and its dependencies are installed, this should work. Once a system is installed, and the user logs in, she can activate orca with the toggle, and it will automatically activate for subsequent logins by that user. If we are to decide to eliminate the automatic orca startup on the live medium, I would ask that a sound be played, to indicate that the desktop is ready; The Trisquel 5.0 I18N edition had some music for this, and I found it helpful.

[Trisquel-users] New Mozilla-based browser add on that is similar to the old FlashVideoReplacer.
The source code is on GitHub, but I'm not sure about the license. I'm actually a Parabola GNU/Linux-libre user, but I thought it would be worth mentioning here as well. The add on is called NoFlash: http://www.figuiere.net/hub/blog/?2014/06/04/849-hack-the-web-no-flash There is no information about a license, though, so it might be worth contacting the author.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
I just got my new Tehnoetic TET-N150 wireless USB adapter today. I tested it with my Trisquel GNU/Linux friendly laptop by removing the internal wifi chip. I'm glad to report that the adapter worked right out of the box without any problems. I'm writing this message while using the adapter. (I'm using Trisquel 6 with 3.14.5-gnu Linux-Libre kernel)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
This adapter is a rebranded version of some chinese adapter, with free software enabled. Such adapters could be bought from AliExpress/any other chinese online store, for like $5. I am excited to hear about second fully free wireless adapter, but would be searching for exact model in chinese stores - and then would just install Tehnoetic firmware
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
Also, why the best free WiFi adapter is just 150Mbps Draft-N ? The fact that all the free hardware (wi-fi adapters, coreboot-supported motherboards, etc) are a few years old, makes me really sad :(
Re: [Trisquel-users] Free Software Alternative to Citrix Receiver?
The description says This package provides the xe utility, the command-line interface for XCP systems. This tool can be used from dom0 to control a Debian XCP system, or from a non-Xen system to control an XCP or Citrix XenServer system. I have no idea what that means. :) You could try installing it from Trisquel 6 http://packages.trisquel.info/toutatis-updates/xcp-xe

There is no secret about it, I acknowledge the manufacturer on the product page. Such adapters could be bought from AliExpress/any other chinese online store, for like $5. I made a research in December and this is new for me, please provide some links. The price I got the adapters was as high as someone expects a 150Mbs to be available from resellers, not manufacturer. I am excited to hear about second fully free wireless adapter, but would be searching for exact model in chinese stores However, I am proud that thanks to Tehnoetic, free software users can now purchase freedom-respecting wifi adapters at 50% of the price last year. - and then would just install Tehnoetic firmware It's not the firmware I wrote, it's the generic firmware for AR9271 chipsets. Thank you for your feedback! Tiberiu
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
The chip fully supports 802.11n. However, 802.11ac is another issue, and I don't know of anything that doesn't require nonfree firmware (pci or usb).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
The chip fully supports 802.11n This is Draft-N specification, not Final-N. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11n-2009#Wi-Fi_Alliance In short, manufacturers have rushed to release WiFi 802.11n devices before the specification was finalized - and, as result, compatibility between Draft-N and Final-N wireless devices is not ideal. There are lots of Final-N WiFi USB adapters, which could also achieve 300Mbps - 450 Mbps I am not interested in 802.11ac devices, because there is the same story (all current 802.11ac devices are Draft-AC, final specification is not ready)
[Trisquel-users] Re : Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
You're thinking about the wrong chip, probably AR9170. This adapter uses AR9271. As you can see on this page, AR9170 is draft-n, but AR9271 isn't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
The problem with Unex DNUA-93F adapter is that it is available only from Unex - and, currently, the minimum order quantity is 2000 pcs. Therefore, I am going to search for chinese wifi adapter that is compatible with free firmware yet has a lower price. *** not an advertisement *** www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=300mbps+usb+wifi+adapter lots of 300Mbps USB adapters under $7 dollars with free shipping I admire what you did, Tiberiu, but sadly I cannot afford paying €25
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
That means, I could buy AR9271 or AR7010 device, and just install free firmware onto it?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tehnoetic wireless USB adapter awarded with FSF's RYF certificate
I apologize, seems I confused the chip model number...
[Trisquel-users] exFat support in Trisquel - why its not working out-of-the-box?
After Trisquel installation, user needs to: 1) add exFat repository: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:relan/exfat 2) install exFat packages: sudo apt-get install exfat-utils fuse-exfat From what I read here, it looks like this is a free software: https://launchpad.net/~relan/+archive/exfat I believe that exFat (as a basic feature) should work in Trisquel instantly after installation - that will improve user experience

Thank you for detailed answer, Legimet :)
[Trisquel-users] Re : New Mozilla-based browser add on that is similar to the old FlashVideoReplacer.
Could you describe this add-on in more details on that page of the (Wiki) documentation: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/play-videos-without-using-flash In particular how does it compare to Linterna Mágica, Youtube All HTML5 or ViewTube?
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mozilla-based browser add on that is similar to the old FlashVideoReplacer.
Sorry about being a bit off-topic Ben but how Stable/unstable is Parabola and how often does it break, if it does break often, and what kind of breakage would that usually be?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Asus X200MA-KX113D Notebook
Wireless:802.11n I think there's actually sa prettydecent chance of Wi-Fi working.
