Re: [Trisquel-users] LinuxVoice interview: Mir vs. Wayland
the following article/ comment summarizes everything. However, i also guess there were political considerations, in particular Canonical feel they got burnt by Gnome. That relationship was unsatisfactory in terms of realising their mobile ambitions and convergence goals. NIH was undoubtedly a factor, along with other factors – technical, political and commercial. Also I understand that Gnome, KDE, and other relevant projects, would prefer to cater for Wayland as the only new emerging display server, and not another display server as well (Mir). Ultimately it’s Canonical own money, and so they can do what they want. But in fairness to them, they have lofty ambitions of convergence, and commercial imperative to deliver their vision. = 1- there were political considerations, in particular Canonical feel they got burnt by Gnome 2- That relationship was unsatisfactory in terms of realising their mobile ambitions and convergence goals. 3- NIH was undoubtedly a factor, along with other factors – technical, political and commercial. 4- Ultimately it’s Canonical own money, and so they can do what they want. Good luck in that, canonical! be ready to compete and lose money with the competition, your money is just pennies to the competition.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Toutatis Brightness control
Hi, I have the same problem. Since I installed Trisquel on my laptop the brightness is always high. I try to change it and see the icon responds but not the brightness, it always stays high. I'm a beginner with GNU+Linux so I have not really understood the technical explanations. It would be nice an easy step-by-step guide to solve it. If it is anyway possible... Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
The h node listing about graphic cards does not tell for sure that a card can run on non free software? Graphic cards listed on http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeNames/#nv20family support 3d acceleration and are able to run on free software? It may happen you install one of the cards on hardware that makes the card run non free software? Same situation if you install one of the cards on a computer that runs none free software? Because there is no desktop computer running only free software, it is unlikely that a nouveau card will run on free software? If ati releases more documentation than nvidia about their cards, then why do nouveau make nvidia drivers? despite having nonfree VGA BIOS Does the bios interact with the graphic card?

According to https://www.h-node.org : The h-node project aims at the construction of a hardware database in order to identify what devices work with a fully free operating system. This definition excludes the BIOS/EFI.

Hey Jane! The first step would be to post the output of the lspci command. Welcome to free operating systems btw!
[Trisquel-users] It was nicer when I could move things between menus
In the GNOME Classic menu in 7.0, it is no longer possible to drag menu items between folders using the menu editor. Not sure why it had to change.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Amd ati graphic cards only chipset matters not brand and version?
A few of us put some info about this in the wiki: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/hardware-type-and-software-freedom I hope that we got it right. Please let us know if not.

The default desktop setup is garbage. If you want classic desktop, use Cinnamon: https://launchpad.net/~lestcape/+archive/ubuntu/cinnamon
