[Trisquel-users] Re : trisquel-recommended package
No, it will not. It works the other way around: if you remove package A, every package that depends (directly or indirectly) on A is removed as well. That makes sense since they cannot work without A. For example if A is xserver-xorg and you remove it, then libreoffice (that depends on A) is removed as well. Packages that came as dependencies of package A (i.e., the user did not explicitly asked for them) will be removed by 'apt-get autoremove' (hence not automatically) if package A was uninstalled and no other explicitly installed package depends on A. Again, that makes sense: A almost certainly is an orphan dependency that is only consuming space on your root partition. If not, then the user should explicitly asked for its installation (e.g. through 'apt-get install A'). For example if A is libreoffice and you remove it, then xserver-xorg (a dependency of A) will *not* be removed as well. Not even after 'apt-get autoremove' as long as at least one other graphical application (that depends on A) is installed.
[Trisquel-users] Re : MyTourbook on trisquel ?
There is not such a package in Trisquel's repository. Ubuntu (on which Trisquel is based) does not have it either and neither does Debian (on which Ubuntu is based). In fact I doubt there exists a deb package for this application. You should follow the developers' instructions: http://mytourbook.sourceforge.net/mytourbook/index.php/download-install#linux ... starting from item 2! Why not from item 1? Because you should actually use the Java Runtime Environment that Trisquel 7 ships in the correct version (7). To do so, install the package named default-jre. You can do that with 'sudo apt-get install default-jre' but I would advise you the Synaptic Package Manager (in the System Settings), which is a graphical interface to APT, because you do not seem to know much about package management yet. Unlike your Java Runtime Environment (if you followed me advices), MyTourbook will not be automatically updated through APT because it was not installed within this package management system.
Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel-recommended package
One thing to note: Aptitude works differently than apt-get when it comes to these packages. If you use apt-get, they're kept unless you use apt-get autoremove. If you use Aptitude, however, automatically installed packages also get removed automatically. Also of note: merely being recommended by another installed package is sufficient to prevent it from getting removed either by apt-get autoremove or Aptitude's automatic cleanup.

[Trisquel-users] Naming conventions for Abrowser, Web Browser are broken
While trying to find a way of using a search function within web pages, I found nothing at all in Add/Remove Applications relating to my originally installed browser package that seems to call itself Abrowser and so I instead installed Web Browser from within Add/Remove Applications. That involved associated installations of an email reader and a file manager. The email reader is nowhere to be found ... and the file manager is nowhere, also, unless they are what was originally installed with/by Trisquel. I still haven't found any way of searching a web page except by first using view page source and then using _that_ find. And my installed Abrowser is unchanged, but is nowhere to be found in Installed Applications ... and Web Browser does now appear in Installed Applications. Does that mean that Abrowser is identical with and actually the same application as Web Browser ?
[Trisquel-users] Antwort: What terminal fonts do you use?
I tried some fonts and different hinting settings and I'm now using DejaVu Mono 11pt. Perhaps I'll switch and try others as well. There are so many great fonts available! And of course, I'll only use Free Fonts. :-)

Re: [Trisquel-users] my family want me to install non-free software
There really is no one size fits all answer. They may not even notice the difference between Popcorntime and Netflix or it could have something to do with family dynamics or the prevailing attitudes and cultures of different periods of history. I was doing very well with my family for a time, but when the Thinkpad T41 I put together for my father got too old and slow, he splurged on an iBad because he had wanted one ever since he first saw them on 2001 a Space Oddyssey in the movie theatres in 1968. My mom is now running whatever her neighbour's 13 year old replaced her WinXP install with because he has the proper genitalia to do so and I don't. My time is better spent alpha testing Blag and gNewSense and doing what I can to keep my ex husband from getting ripped off by proprietary crudware that preys on musicians.
Re: [Trisquel-users] LibertyBSD - OpenBSD minus the blobs

Re: [Trisquel-users] gNewSense 4 is already (somewhat) useable!
Just a heads up that the most obvious gNewSense mirrors in English speaking countries are having problems that the Mexican mirror isn't. I should have more to say about gNewSense shortly. Blag is very user friendly, in my opinion as someone who has stuck to Debian based distros for a few years, and the missing dependencies for Icecat probably aren't worth stressing over since most of us are going to be using Tor Browser Bundle anyway. Pretty eye candy! I can't reciprocate because my physical limitations affect my priorities and my kid's too young to be given a root password, but I sure would love to grab the start-up sound file off Brigantia and plop it into my Belenos boxes if I wasn't too lazy to figure out how to do so. ;)

[Trisquel-users] Re : Naming conventions for Abrowser, Web Browser are broken
Add/Remove Applications does not have all available applications... for some reason! You can use the Synaptic package manager (in the System settings) that really lists all available packages (including abrowser). I guess Web browser is GNOME's default browser that was previously known as Epiphany. It is fundamentally different from Abrowser (based on Firefox) because it uses Webkit, rather than Gecko, as a rendering engine. Ctrl+F is a shortcut to search in most applications (including Web browsers that usually even search as you type). Abrowser's menu is hidden by default and you must press the Alt key to show it up. You would then find the same search function in Edition.

Re: [Trisquel-users] What terminal fonts do you use?
OK, Droid Sans looks much better. Not perfect yet, but better. :D I don't like fonts where symbols like @ and $ look squashed and bold. I tried to set the hinting in the gnome-tweak-tool to full, but that didn't look that good either. I guess I have to get used to those fonts. :-) If you have another suggestions for terminal fonts, I'd like to hear them!

[Trisquel-users] Importing external inboxes into Icedove; concatenation isn't working for me
Way back in the old days, I had a *scape inbox that lost its EOF scent. I opened the file with a text editor and [somehow] stopped the scrolling when it got down to nothing but asterisks. I cut them all off, saved the file, and voila ... rescued that inbox. That was in *indows 3.11, I think. At an intermediate time, when an anti-virus program ate the inbox from the *indows installation of *hunderbird, I was able to snatch the same inbox from a debian installation of Icedove and plop it into the *indows installation of *hunderbird without the slightest hassle or loss of data (I had been keeping the two inboxes synchronized by always downloading messages from first the one computer and then from the other, but only removing them from their servers with the second computer). Fast forward to the present day. I'm importing inboxes from hither and yon ... and I've gathered a few into one account in my Trisquel installation of Icedove. Icedove steadfastly refuses to open those foreign inboxes (except in one other account where it does so quite happily). I've concatenated the two inboxes thusly: sudo mv Inbox InboxSmall sudo cat InboxSmall Inbox01 InboxAll sudo mv InboxAll Inbox Icedove ignores all but the former contents (i.e. InboxSmall) when opening Inbox after restarting; it does go through some motions. The byte count of the concatenation satisfies ordinary base-ten mathematics; i.e., Inbox equals the sum of InboxSmall plus Inbox01. When I try to have Icedove open one of the peripheral inboxes, e.g. Inbox-01, a message briefly pops up, (loosely quoting) Opening Inbox01 failed; the mail server for that account responded: Mailbox does not exist, or must be subscribed to. Inbox-01 is a closed inbox; I'm not trying to get any more input into it except eventually by concatenating with other inboxes. Gedit can open either the former Inbox or Inbox-01, except that it complains about some incorrect characters. In this context, I'm using the term, scent to cover either/or in the debate of character vs. integer in EOF's. Question is: Does Icedove put a secret scent at the end of its own Inbox files ? How can I detect that scent and remove it (presumably) from the intersection of InboxSmall and Inbox-01 inside InboxAll ?

[Trisquel-users] Re : trisquel-recommended package
As onpon4 wrote, meta-packages (such as trisquel or trisquel-desktop-recommended) do not install any program by themselves. They are just a convenient way to install a bunch of such programs listed as the dependencies of the meta-packages. Removing a meta-package only has an effect if Trisquel's developers change its dependencies. It happened between version 6 and version 7 for instance: electrum was added as a dependency of the meta-package trisquel-recommended. After an update of the distribution, the users who kept the meta-package had that bitcoin client automatically installed, whereas those who removed the meta-packages had not.

They should do the same on Debian... If you install the default desktop and want to remove a packege like LibreOffice it will delete your whole X window system as a dependency...
Re: [Trisquel-users] Hide all windows show the desktop by command.
You can use wmctrl as follows: wmctrl is a command that can be used to interact with an X Window manager that is compatible with the EWMH/NetWM specification. wmctrl can query the window manager for information, and it can request that certain window management actions be taken. Fisrt Install wmctrl: sudo apt-get install wmctrl From It's manpage: -k ( on | off ) Turn on or off the window manager's show the desktop mode (if the window manager implements this feature). So, Run following command to show the desktop wmctrl -k on

[Trisquel-users] Biggest german isp ships router with free firmware??!
Hi everybody! One of the biggest german isp's is called 'Deutsche Telekom' and i'm a costumer of them. Normally, they sent you a router of the 'speedport series' when you get your internet access, and so did i. I wanted to check out if i can install the libre router software...dd wrt(? Sorry, i don't recall the name in detail...) when i found that the source code for the firmware was already available and licensed under the gpl. I tried to copy the link, but orweb doesn't want to... So search for 'telekom speedport open source'. Sorry for the term but otherwise you won't find it. Of course i'm suspicious, like, maybe they kept a crucial part proprietary as a back door...and i also don't know if you can actually install your modified versions without problems. But still, i'm quite excited about that. What do you think? Do isp's in your country the same or is it rather an exception?
