Have you tried running: $ apt-get -f install $ apt-get clean $ apt-get update This may resolve the issue, but I could be wrong.
[Trisquel-users] Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
Hi everybody, I'm in the process of creating a student group to study and promote free software usage - although I'm a bit late, and won't see it in it's best days, but I'll try my best to keep it running -, and, when declaring the group's opposition to services as software substitutes, I was thinking: is webmail deployed in a mail server's website a service as a software substitute? Just for clarity: I'm considering only the perspective of the users of the service, not the service's/server's. I think this question is important because many mail service providers also provide POP3 or IMAP access, and so allowing mail clients to send/receive e-mails. Respectfully, Adonay.

Re: [Trisquel-users] SMPlayer doesn't play youtube vids
Thx Legimet! I've been using minitube for half a year now. great software! Had to compile it on debian but it is so easy that I had no problems. Just qmake and make and then install phonon-backend-vlc. The only downside is that I wasn't able to download the vids through minitube but now I just copy the link of the vid in minitube, open up the terminal and paste it after yt-dl and it gets downloaded super fast and smooth! great! :)

I see. Thx for the explanation. had no idea!
Re: [Trisquel-users] repos
no problem. The reason was I wanted a smallish linux that used debian. Trisquel ended up winning till now.

[Trisquel-users] Linux-Libre Kernel problems
Hello everyone, I'm having a problem installing the latest linux-libre kernel from the repository I get an error The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-libre64 : Depends: linux-image-3.19.2-gnu but it is not installable linux-libre64-headers : Depends: linux-headers-3.19.2-gnu but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Package linux-image-3.19.2-gnu is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package 'linux-image-3.19.2-gnu' has no installation candidate Can I get any assistance with this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] repos
Have you tried running plain old Debian? It's not very large (or resource hungry) at all. It's also libre by default.

Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
No it's not, because you're not doing your own computing on the server. On the other hand, the web interface might require nonfree JS, so you should use an email client in that case.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
Technically, yes. Service becomes a substitute for Software in whatever you use it for instead of software that you control. You can use a client to fetch, write and manage your e-mails and contacts, but the messages are still being stored on someone else's server. Therefore, using your own client does give you control over some things, but most of the process still goes through the server. I personally do use a mail service. I don't consider SaaSS by itself to be as bad as proprietary software. Taking someone's freedom away is never good and doing so can and does have severe far-stretched consequences. However, not everyone can afford or knows how to set up and manage their own mail server. Then some people offer them services of mail hosting. Some of those are bad (most of them are), while some of those can be nice, respect the users and follow noble ideals (Riseup, OpenMailBox?). That still doesn't make them good, yes, but I wouldn't call them evil. We should try to regain control over all our services, but these are an acceptable temporary solution for me. TL;DR: Yes, mail services are SaaSS. If you use a good one, it's acceptable when better options are not accessible. In my opinion, that is.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
In my opinion, yes. The exception is when you run your own email server with webmail. That's the best solution all-round, actually. Check out Mailpile.is for an up-and-coming project that's tackling this problem.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is anyone else getting a CPU spikes when you edit anything in Gedit?
Okay, how do I set Mousepad as my default text editor, so files open in it by default instead of gedit?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is anyone else getting a CPU spikes when you edit anything in Gedit?
That's great to know! Thanks for pointing that out!
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
Technically since your personal email will be stored on an external server you could say that, however I don't believe it is the same as say.. using cloud apps. I personally have an email server set up that my family uses though I do use an external service for an alternate email address I check less frequently. Also the FSF has a list of approved webmail systems (I personally use openmailbox.org for my alternate address) so that may be worth looking in to. Ideally, yes, it is best to host your own server but that isn't always a realistic option.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Linux-Libre Kernel problems
Hmm.. Unfortunately I have not had a problem like this so I'm curious how to fix it also (in case I break something later). Sorry my suggestion didn't work! Luckily this forum is full of folks a lot smarter than me who may be able to help.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Is anyone else getting a CPU spikes when you edit anything in Gedit?
Open a nautilus window, and put the cursor on the name of a text file. Use 'alt+enter' key, to open the Properties page for the selected file. Go to the Open With page, and select mousepad. Finally, tick the 'set as default' option. Now, all text files will automatically open with mousepad. It works great@ HTH, Dave

Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
That, in my opinion, is the ideal thing to do, and I hope to do it in the future.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
I'm pretty sure the one Riseup.net uses doesn't require JavaScript to work. Also, I remember that Gmail at least used to have a basic HTML Webmail mode which didn't require JavaScript.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Enabling search suggestions on Aborwser and Icecat.
Alredy done that before posting, I don't have suggestions even though the its is marked as true. I have the theory that it has to do something with the language settings.
Re: [Trisquel-users] bbc iplayer
If what you're referring to uses whatever DRM system iPlayer uses, then it's not legally possible, and not practically likely.
Re: [Trisquel-users] bbc iplayer
youtube-dl supports bbc iplayer. Also, there's get-iplayer (in the repos) and get-flash-videos (also in the repos).
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
I have a website and email server through namecheap. I'm very happy with their service. Recently, though, I switched over to Trisquel and along with that Icecat. Now the Namecheap website won't function completely unless I approve a bunch of nonfree js, which I don't want to do. I once built a VPS and managed my own website and email server, but my email was constantly being abused by spam accounts. I don't fully understand how it happened. But when I chatted with people on IRC I got scolded for running my own email server if I didn't know what I was doing, because I was contributing to the spam problem. I would love to run all of that stuff on my home computer, but there's two main things stopping me. #1 Is I simply haven't got the bandwidth to pull it off. #2 I'm afraid of exposing the rest of my computer which is relatively secure because I'm running a webserver, etc. that I really haven't got the skills to keep secure, especially when you allow third parties to contribute content and comments on my blog, etc. I hope that someday in the future there will be new and easy ways to put up websites, ways that are decentralized and secure and as easy enough for grandma to do. I'm already very hopful about Bitmessage. I can't wait for the day that it's in the Trisquel repo. That, to me, seems like an amazing way for individuals to easily engage in safe and ethical email. Now we just need something for blogs.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Enabling search suggestions on Aborwser and Icecat.
Often the culprit is an extension. You could make a new profile and try both things.
Re: [Trisquel-users] ***POSSIBLE SPAM*** Is webmail a service as a software substitute (SaaSS)?
I mean, SaaSS is when you do your computing on someone else's computer (Like Google Docs), while something that has to do with communicating with people (Like this forum, IMing, webmail) is not you doing your computing on someone else's computer. Webmail is not SaaSS.

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. I've been using Abrowser and Icecat very happily thanks to their better configuration defaults but I miss the searchbar suggestions provided by its respective search engine. I've tried to enable them via system settings but it didn't work. Could you help me? Thank you in advance.
