Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 new tab page
Maybe they'll come up with a new browser, h..I'm really excited for that (and we won't have to worry about Firefox, it'll stay in a mirror somewhere, if not forked).

[Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
As the title say it all, i need confirmation if anyone can access the openmailbox.org's site? I am asking it, because i cannot access my email neither access at forum, noting from openmailbox.org. If it is another DDOS attack since 2 days ago... i better check another email service that dont go down so easily...it is not the first time it happens, but can be a bit annoying like a yo-yo effect... Thanks in advance.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 new tab page
I'm pretty sure Firefox has been getting faster, not slower. Remember Firefox 3? That Chrome was so much faster than it was one of the main reasons it started getting popular. I specifically remember that either Firefox 7 or Firefox 8 was lightweight enough to work better on a certain device with only 256 MB of RAM than Midori. I feel pretty sure that Firefox and its derivatives are the fastest browsers now.

Works for me, just checked at the moment (Webmail)...

Currently working for me also.

Yep, it works, even the @opmbx.org suffix. (=
Re: [Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
works good for me and it's been always working good since I opened the account (a month ago). By the way it's great with icedove - no need to change any settings when you set it up.. p.s - consider donating if you have some bucks to spare!!
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to get keys on a Thinkpad T60 with german keyboard layout?
Thank you all for your helpful replies! There was no german keyboard layout which allowed me to use the keys I needed so I went with the proposal of MagicBanana. I wasn't aware of xmodmap and it really worked, at least for the keys. I tried to make 'bar' accessable by the same key just with AltGr, but by now i didn't succeed. Anyway, I will figure that one out when i have a bit more time. I want to add (for other people who have the same problem) that it's of course neccessary to run xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap at least once after making the changes. But MB was right: with awesome/i3/xmonad, it's sufficient to run the command one time. The changes will still persist after reboot.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just installed jxself's 3.18 kernel. Few questions.
TO T3g ONLY!!! If your WIFI device embedded into your Motherboard?, you might have a chance to disable those drivers from the bios, before you install the drivers from ASUS, Instead you could use generic drivers, that are GPL-3 license. I had the same EXACT problem with a friend of mines desktop, he was using the original drivers, but THE WIFI device was crapping-out after installing them. I was able to delete the original, and load the GPL-3 drivers. You could download them from the manufacture website those GPL-3 drivers only. Assuming, that you could and know how to compile them as a generic only. Unless, your WIFI router is AC then that will a different monster, but a basic standard WIFI router (A,B,n,G) there is a good chance for it too work. Bottom line, you don't lose anything by trying.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot get widescreen resolution and use multiple monitors in Trisquel 7, like I could in Trisquel 6
I ran into a very similar problem on a laptop and I found that I had to remove the radeon drivers from the kernel module blacklist. Once I did that it loaded everything up the way it used to in Toutatis. Here's the thread I started about the issue: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/ati-mobility-x300-trisquel-7
[Trisquel-users] Sometimes the GNOME panel doesn't load in Trisquel 6.0
Hello! It's been a while since I noticed that the GNOME panel wasn't loading every time I turned my machine on. The icons are in place and I can open them. However, my system is unusable since I cannot start a program normally (I suppose I could from terminal or the binaries' folder manually but it'd be a hassle). My solution is to restart the computer from the button. Then it would load in most of the cases. I should note that the problem happens somewhat regularly but not always and sometimes I have to reboot even twice or more. It seems pretty big issue so I finally post it here.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Sometimes the GNOME panel doesn't load in Trisquel 6.0
You can probably bring the panel back by Alt+F2 and running gnome-panel. It's harder to say what the actual problem is.
[Trisquel-users] F-Droid Appstore criticizes application for using non-free network service
Lately, i installed the f-droid appstore on my tablet. When I was searching for a free messaging client, I encountered Telegram which is obviously just that. Anyway, in the description of the program there is a big red mark, reading: This application advertises non-free network services and below, one can read: Anti-feature: Non-free network, since the servers run proprietary software. I'm here to ask for your opinion if I'm getting something wrong, because from what i understand so far, this statement is just - excuse my vocab here - *horrible* bullshit! 1. Why should I care if THEY use proprietary software on their servers - how should I make sure that they are really using free software anyway, even if they claimed it? 2. If you put it that way, you had to label every mail client the same way, because it advertises the use of a normal mail account, hence you're sending mails to a server with (very likely) proprietary software on it. 3. What's with the term 'non-free network'? There is nothing like a non-free network, since you can't apply the four freedoms to it. How should you copy a network or make your own version of it?? So it would be nice if you gave your opinion on this. At the moment, I don't see any reason not to use Telegram and about the expressions i'm already convinced that they are just nonsense.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Just installed jxself's 3.18 kernel. Few questions.
No, the wifi is separate as I am using a ThinkPenguin 802.11N dongle via USB. The ethernet port is the one that has been deblobbed and doesn't work, but that's ok because I am using wireless instead of wired. If I ever need to use wired internet, I guess I will have to find a different solution. Btw, this is my mobo that goes with my AMD FX-8350: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/M5A99FX_PRO_R20/ Don't worry, I disabled secure boot. :-)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Cannot get widescreen resolution and use multiple monitors in Trisquel 7, like I could in Trisquel 6
What alucardx said works only for older Radeon cards. For newer ones, you'll have to downgrade something (not the kernel, maybe X.org or libdrm).
Re: [Trisquel-users] F-Droid Appstore criticizes application for using non-free network service
I agree. Many of these servers are probably running a flavor of GNU/Linux or BSD and free software applications like Apache, MySQL, nginx, PHP, or Python to serve the data. As long as the output data that the server returns is in an open format (like JSON or XML) then its not a big deal. On top of that, if the software on their server is built by them and for them for a custom purpose, then they have no obligation to share. If they do distribute their custom software, then that's another story.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Librem 15: A Free/Libre and Open Source Laptop That Respects Your Essential Freedoms
Is it going to be business class (in which case High price isn't really a deal breaker - I've got several old, broken ones at home I got for free and can understand if they cost thousands of dollars when they were new)
Re: [Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
Works fine for me too. webmail/cloud
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser 34 new tab page
Their deal already ended. Firefox 34 uses Yahoo instead of Google by default.
Re: [Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
Thanks all. I still cannot access to the site, nor via Evolution. I tried with 3 computers: one with Trisquel 6, with internet via Abrowser and Evolution, for instance, finding for openmailbox.org(via internet Duckduckgo) and after noting happens. I have no problems with conection, it works just fine, i can access to other sites but openmailbox.org. I tried then with other 2 pcs: with Linux Mint and even with Windows. noting works to go to Openmailbox.org. I dont know what is going on. It says, server not found, which is strange, because if you all can access to it... i dont know if it is my ip or whatever, or router. I guess i will try library tomorrow to see. Thanks in advance all. Best regards
Re: [Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
Maybe your ISP is blocking the openmailbox.org server? See if you're able to access it through Tor. If that's the problem, try complaining to your ISP.
Re: [Trisquel-users] F-Droid Appstore criticizes application for using non-free network service
1) I don't know non-free network either 2) They use non-free software on their servers, it's not really a deal breaker (otherwise itwouldn't appear in F-droid), but I don't mind a big warning sign. F-droid feels that it's worth noting, and they've got the right to. What they rather shouldn't do (which they don't) is unaccedentally excluding Telegram from their repos on the basis of that, in my opinion. So all is well.
Re: [Trisquel-users] problems acceding at openmailbox.org
I just made an account, thanks to this post... I'm sorry you're unable to access it, though...
[Trisquel-users] Non-free font(s) in the repos?
I tried Installing Ubuntu Studio's metapackage, and as expected some (presumably non-free) fonts were not present in the repos. However, Ubuntu's and LyX's fonts were. Removing LyX's font (because of its dependencies, and they don't look that good if at all) and Ubuntu's (because of possible liensing issues, and since my life doesn't depend on it...)from the list of packages to be installed leaves me with: cm-super-x11 fonts-beteckna fonts-bpg-georgian fonts-breip fonts-droid fonts-dustin fonts-ecolier-court fonts-ecolier-lignes-court fonts-f500 fonts-inconsolata fonts-junicode fonts-jura fonts-liberation fonts-linex fonts-linuxlibertine fonts-manchufont fonts-mgopen fonts-ocr-a fonts-oflb-euterpe fonts-okolaks fonts-sil-andika fonts-sil-charis fonts-sil-doulos fonts-sil-gentium fonts-sil-gentium-basic gsfonts lmodern t1-cyrillic t1-oldslavic t1-teams ttf-adf-accanthis ttf-adf-baskervald ttf-adf-berenis ttf-adf-gillius ttf-adf-ikarius ttf-adf-irianis ttf-adf-libris ttf-adf-mekanus ttf-adf-oldania ttf-adf-romande ttf-adf-switzera ttf-adf-tribun ttf-adf-universalis ttf-adf-verana ttf-aenigma ttf-alee ttf-ancient-fonts ttf-atarismall ttf-bitstream-vera ttf-dejavu-extra ttf-engadget ttf-essays1743 ttf-fifthhorseman-dkg-handwriting ttf-georgewilliams ttf-goudybookletter ttf-isabella ttf-jsmath ttf-marvosym ttf-opensymbol ttf-radisnoir ttf-sjfonts ttf-staypuft ttf-summersby ttf-tiresias ttf-tomsontalks ttf-tuffy ttf-unifont xfonts-scalable I noticed that the Caslon font was present in there, despite being called non-free in another thread.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caslon_Roman License: BSD-like license or SIL Open Font License
Re: [Trisquel-users] Non-free font(s) in the repos?
Thanks. So, just to make sure, all the fonts in the repos (or at least the ones I listed) are more or less confirmed to be free, right (rather than simply not confirmed to be non-free)? p.s. Why didn't you include neither all of the above fonts in the LiveDVD nor a metapackage of what is included in the CD to the repos?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Sometimes the GNOME panel doesn't load in Trisquel 6.0
Opening the terminal and running gnome-panel would be a rather good solution.
