[Trisquel-users] How do I install Trisquel on a flash drive? I want it to behave like the Trisquel on my laptop.
I pretty much said everything on the title :D
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I install Trisquel on a flash drive? I want it to behave like the Trisquel on my laptop.
Another thing, though: use a filesystem that doesn't have journaling, like ext2. By its nature, flash storage can only be written to a certain number of times, and journaling will weigh down on the life of a flash drive much faster.
[Trisquel-users] Re : How do I install Trisquel on a flash drive? I want it to behave like the Trisquel on my laptop.
Do just the same but, at the partitioning step of the installer, choose a custom partitioning and specify the flash drive as the drive to partition.
[Trisquel-users] How do I get Wireless to work on Dell Latitude D620
How do I get the wireless functionality to work for this laptop? I tried sudo aptitude install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer but it tells me that no packages are found with the name of firmwareinstaller or installed. Also with the apt-get command it says that the package is not available. So how do I get the wireless device online?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I get Wireless to work on Dell Latitude D620
Those packages do not exist in Trisquel. Your wireless chip needs proprietary software in order to function and Trisquel is only made up of free software, as defined by the Free Software Foundation, so you won't find proprietary packages in it. May I suggest replacing your WiFi card with one that doesn't need proprietary software? There is a tiny thumnail-sized USB thing that can be used if you don't want to open the computer to replace the WiFi card: http://www.fsf.org/resources/hw/endorsement/thinkpenguin

Yeah, I've been told that before. Thanks people! :D

You can create an ext4 filesystem wtihout journaling.

[Trisquel-users] Tp link librecmc wifi router on an isp modem with public address?
Librecmc https://www.thinkpenguin.com/gnu-linux/free-software-wireless-n-broadband-router-gnu-linux-tpe-nwifirouter is a tp link tl wr841nd wifi router. It has no modem. Earlier I have made a post about the tp link free hardware router. I have adsl2 internet. Lan dchp is server. My isp says, they can turn the isp router into a modem with a public ip address and dhcp disabled. My understanding was, that because the tp link does not have a modem, I can not make use of the modem with a public ip address solution. Am I wrong? My isp provider tells me, that it may work also with an router that has no modem. It depends on the features of the router. Will the tp link wifi router work on my internet service if the isp provider's router is set to modem and public address? The tp link router will have the librecmc installed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Tp link librecmc wifi router on an isp modem with public address?
The TPE-NWIFIROUTER does not have a built-in modem. Your ISP will have issued you a router with a built-in modem (probably). As it is set to 'router mode' this router will issue a private IP address to any devices connected to it. What you want to do is set the ISP issued router to 'modem mode'. This will result in the router acting as a modem instead and issuing a public IP address to any device which connects to it. This is what you want. Once the ISP issued router is set to 'modem mode' you can connect the TPE-NWIFIROUTER. Then connect your computers to the TPE-NWIFIROUTER (via wireless or an ethernet cable). These computers will be issued a private IP address (such as 192.168.1.x).

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 RC: Occasionally losing most keystrokes in Nautilus?
Occasionally I lose the ability to rename files and folders in Nautilus in Trisquel 7 Release Candidate. I can create a new folder (or do any action that creates a new folder such as grouping files/folders together) or rename something I've got file system rights to rename. But when I type in a new name the new name never appears in the highlighted box where the new text is supposed to go. I can press Escape and get out of renaming mode, which is odd, but alphanumeric keys don't work in renaming mode. I can search for something by typing a few keystrokes whilst not renaming anything. If I create a new folder and Escape out (to cancel the rename) I'm left with a folder called Untitled Folder. I'm trying this on a Trisquel 7 release candidate system with all updates applied as of the time/date stamp on this post. I can work around this by killing Nautilus and restarting it. Then Nautilus works normally for a while. I don't yet have a way to reliably make Nautilus misbehave. Can anyone confirm seeing this behavior in Nautilus?
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
I disagree. In fact, the TorBrowser bundle comes with a number of extensions, including NoScript: https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
LibreJS selectively blocks scripts. Servers can tell when you selectively block scripts, and it adds to your fingerprint. They can? How does not running certain scripts add to your fingerprint? Servers would have to be explicitly checking for that. I don't think that blocking certain scripts adds to your fingerprint. As I pointed out in another comment, the TorBrowser bundle comes with NoScript enabled.

Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
Hi Forna, LibreJS should be compatible with Tor. If it's not, then it's a bug. I'm unable to see the LibreJS icon when I install it in the TorBrowser bundle, and I've filed a bug which I'll be working on here so you can track it's progress: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?43491
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
Plugins can be detected if you have JavaScript on, so those are a big no-no. Extensions can sometimes be okay, but it's not always obvious when they aren't.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
The Tor Browser Bundle comes with NoScript enabled, but note that the allow scripts from x.com type options are not in the menu by default. This is deliberate. You're only supposed to use NoScript on the Tor Browser Bundle to enable and disable JavaScript, and for its security features.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification! I'm going read up about this.

I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to keep track of which visitors don't request files hosted on the same (or friendly) servers. I imagine all one really needs to do is get access to the request logs to build and maintain a reasonable set of visitor browser 'fingerprints' and then offer different pages based on the suspected fingerprint. Since browsers typically request everything needed to build a rendered page at roughly the same time, one could give a narrow time window in which the requester must request the page's files. Not requesting Javascript files, Flash files, advertisement graphics files, etc. at all (not even to check to see if the file has changed as one might do to show cached downloads) could mark one as probably running something like NoScript, a Flash blocker (or no Flash player installed), ad blockers, and so on. The site could retaliate against such blockers by changing what the visitor ultimately gets. Not requesting ad graphics? You get more textual ads. Not requesting Javascript files? You get more CSS that is more likely to be seen as annoying perhaps by animating this or that. Maybe you get a different page altogether; a page which says that unless you enable Javascript, disable your ad-blocker, or whatnot you won't get the main site information you probably came to see. Then again it should be simple to defend against this by requesting and ignoring the files one doesn't intend to do anything with, or requesting time/datestamps on such files to simulate a cached file check. This could be a total waste of bandwidth to be sure, but a convenient way around such profiling/filtering.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which is it: Abrowser or GNU IceCat?
I just want to retract this one thing: I previously thought that JavaScript was being disabled in private browsing mode, but it isn't. It's just that some kind of bug in LibreJS causes the icon to not show up in private browsing mode, and it currently tends to block most scripts, so it gives that impression. With scripts enabled, the fingerprint isn't entirely unique, but not even remotely generic. I think IceCat should do what I previously thought it did: disable scripts in private browsing mode. Otherwise, this has a potential to create a false sense of security.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which is it: Abrowser or GNU IceCat?
So basically my worries already turned out to be justified...
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
Just to clarify - LibreJS does request all the javascript files required by a web page through tags like normal. Then, in the user's browser, it sends those scripts through a series of analyses and executes the scripts that it approves.
Re: [Trisquel-users] GNU LibreJs on Tor Browser
I said it's a bad idea to *add* extensions. I didn't say anything about using the NoScript or HTTPS Everywhere already included with the browser. Other extensions could harm your anonymity, and it's best to stay away from them. See https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Which is it: Abrowser or GNU IceCat?
And of course LibreJS adds to your fingerprint. It would be better to just follow the Tor Project's recommendations and stick with Tor Browser, which they say is the only configuration of Tor you should use for a a web browser. https://www.torproject.org/download/download-easy.html.en#warning
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I install Trisquel on a flash drive? I want it to behave like the Trisquel on my laptop.
I'm just a bit curious but would a USB hard drive survive the normal amount of re-writing non-live systems have and be about as protable (and harder to lose:) as flash drives? So can I treat USB HDDs as normal HDDs?
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I install Trisquel on a flash drive? I want it to behave like the Trisquel on my laptop.
The re-writing limitation is specific to flash memory, so it wouldn't apply to any hard drive. From my understanding, the main thing that wears down a hard drive is starting it up and stopping it over and over; they last longer if they just keep spinning. I'm not sure how external hard drives behave in this regard.
