[Trisquel-users] New here ...
Hi, Just wanna say "hi I'm new here". Was searching for a GNU/Linux distribution without any propiritary blobs or other non free software and ended up with now trying trisquel. I'm pretty new to linux, well I was running debian on servers pretty much back in the -90ties (95-2000), but then "lost the way". After a couple of years now with reading and understanding where our sociaity is in terms of free internet, survalliance , security, anonymity etc. I decided to really try hard to use free software on my computers at home. Thanks to the community for creation of trisquel. Tx and enjoy your day

One can avoid paying Microsoft all they want, if it isn't dealt with moral terms and the the idea of proprietary software isn't considered a 'major issue' - then they will not see themselves get entrapped by the next big company that is out to lock people in. "I have escaped Microsoft, now I use Apple" is not an improvement. I'm am talking to the converted here. :P

Also available in Ogg format, don't forget that. :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] New (first) libre planet in UK
Creating this is the first step, don't be put off however if the first few events are a little quiet. Consistency of schedule (once a month for instance) is the secret to getting people involved. I went to a local one just last night (Melbourne, Australia), it has been running for 3 years now and while the first meeting was just two people, it is now approximately 15-20 which considering the country is not that bad really. :D Building a physical and not just mental community is a big thing and should be done where possible.

Hi Salparadise, I imagined that was the case with several of us so I decided to go ahead and create one. there is also the fsfe I believe one of the fsfe fellows lives closer to your area.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I want to share this interview with RMS
I favor http://snowdenandthefuture.info/ over YouTube because snowdenandthefuture.info doesn't require you to accept cookies, encourage users to install Flash, accept non-free media formats, or be tracked by Google. Quite right too. Only I didn't accept any cookies, or install flash - I downloaded the films as webm files and watched them from the hard drive. And as to being tracked by Google - their logs will show someone using Trisquel swung by, downloaded 4 films in an open format and then left. I've had the same IP address for the last 10+ years, as far as I know - there ain't no hiding to be had.
Re: [Trisquel-users] I want to share this interview with RMS
I think http://snowdenandthefuture.info/ is the source site for that material. I favor http://snowdenandthefuture.info/ over YouTube because snowdenandthefuture.info doesn't require you to accept cookies, encourage users to install Flash, accept non-free media formats, or be tracked by Google. Also, http://snowdenandthefuture.info/ has transcripts of the talks. I encourage listeners to recall what the public knew about the NSA in 2007: we didn't have the benefit of Snowden's documents. We knew what other NSA whistleblowers were saying and that certainly was enough to take action, but Snowden's documents were concrete evidence of an organized spying going on at a level beyond what most understood to happen. I don't recall anyone publishing such details before Snowden. I also encourage listeners to not let the style become the focus of consideration but consider the substance of what is said. O'Reilly shills for "open source" and unwilling to seriously engage in any freedom talk (just as the open source movement was designed to do). It's not that O'Reilly could only have done what he did without freedom talk, these were choices he made; O'Reilly chose to favor developmental methodology and not champion software freedom for its own sake.

OK, but it still uses KDE 3.5 and is based on the unsupported Ubuntu 10.04.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where are all the security updates?
I agree security should be #1 priority. Why such a delay with security updates?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Where are all the security updates?
Can someone be so kind as to confirm or refute this? Any notice or something? I also think it is a very sensitive issue. Thanks in advance...

Re: [Trisquel-users] Can't install Trisquel 7
I had a similar issue installing Trisquel 7 with the netinst iso. It failed when installing grub. I solved it installing grub from a live cd. To do so, boot from a live cd and type the following in a terminal (I assume Trisquel is installed in /dev/sda hard drve and the root partition is /dev/sda1): $ sudo su # TARGET=/media/sda1 # mkdir -p $TARGET # mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET # mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev # mount --bind /dev/pts $TARGET/dev/pts # mount --bind /proc$TARGET/proc # mount --bind /sys $TARGET/sys # chroot $TARGET /bin/bash This places you in a root terminal on the trisquel system. Do whatever you want to do there, e.g. re-install grub. # grub-install /dev/sda # update-grub To exit from chroot # control-D This brings you back to where you were in the live session and you can unmount # umount -l $TARGET/dev/pts # umount -l $TARGET/dev # umount -l $TARGET/proc # umount -l $TARGET/sys Reboot to see if the problem is fixed
Re: [Trisquel-users] I want to share this interview with RMS
I watched a series of 4 hour long films of Mr Moglen giving talks about Ed Snowden and NSA spying. Good stuff. He's quite strong in his condemnation of facebook and it's owners as well. I see what you mean now, the stance he took in the O'Reilly clip was very antagonistic and at odds with what he said elsewhere. For anyone who's not seen them and is interested... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCUJn-5By14 - part 1, the links to 2,3 & 4 are on the page for part 1.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install GNOME Shell on Trisquel 7 I18N 64-bit.
I also have a problem of nothing appearing when choosing the "GNOME" session at login. I use actually the "System Default" session to start GNOME Shell. The "GNOME Classic" session also works fine. This is an extension which makes GNOME Shell look similiar to GNOME 2. It's in the package gnome-shell-extensions.

You should take a look at your log , maybe something make it crash .

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install GNOME Shell on Trisquel 7 I18N 64-bit.
I said to that because a similar issue occurred in Trisquel 6 when I was using compton compositor. I have confirmed this issue on Trisquel 7, I tried removing "/etc/xdg/autostart/compton-autostart.desktop" that didn't fix it. I don't know what else might be stopping gnome-shell to run.
[Trisquel-users] Where are all the security updates?
If you look at the Ubuntu security notices for Trusty and Precise, a lot of the updated packages haven't showed up in Trisquel, neither Toutatis nor Belenos. I think the last security update I got was 2 weeks back for openssl. There's also an update from July for Apache which still hasn't showed up in Belenos: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-2299-1/. I think this is a pretty serious issue.
[Trisquel-users] Can't install Trisquel 7
Hi, I tried installing Trisquel 7 on my computer. It's a laptop that I've bought from ThinkPenguin so it should be compatible and I was previously running Trisquel 6 on it. When I try to install Trisquel 7 on my computer everything works great in the beggining but after a while the installer crashes. I get a message which says: "The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot." Is there anyway to fix this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] My wifi card that isn't supported.
I like your distinctive approach of writing particularly the design of victimization the idioms and supported phrases that is mind-blowing. I hope you'll not mind if I adopt this type of your. several thanks. www.bitroad.co.uk
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7: Memory leak?
Hello, I had the same problem too. Performance isn't affected in any way, it just looks scary :-P Anyway, the link above says to enter this command: sudo apt-get remove libpam-smbpass It did the trick for me! Hopefully others will find it helpful too. Steve
Re: [Trisquel-users] New (first) libre planet in UK
Woot. About time. I'm in Birmingham - too far to come along - alas. I've been wondering where the scene in the UK is at and whether anything local to me exists and what to about it if it doesn't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot install GNOME Shell on Trisquel 7 I18N 64-bit.
Updating Gnome removes Startup Applications under System Settings. Its only under Tweak Tool but there is only a white border and a + symbol. Nothing happens when pushing that button. Before updating Gnome I don't have anything called "compton compositor" under Startup Applications. I have been playing around with Gnome3 I think I have found a bug. At first I thought it was a dependency problem because I was removing software included in the Trisquel installation. When I disable "Icons on Desktop" under Tweak Tool and then login to Gnome there is only the background. I have to open a terminal with keyboard shortcut (Default Ctrl+Alt+T) to get rest of Gnome back plus a terminal window. Also when I have it disabled the right click menu is Gnome 3 style but with it enabled its the Trisquel default right click menu. I'm trying as informative as possible so other people can get help in the future. But now I have hijacked this thread. I'm now giving it back.
