[Trisquel-users] How to custom a trisquel installer
Hi, I'm new in this forum and I'm making an OS trisquel-based, but i don't know how can I change the pictures in the installer. How can I do this? PS sorry if my English is shit
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to custom a trisquel installer
your English is awesome!
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to custom a trisquel installer
Firstly, you're fine on the English side of things. Worry not. Secondly, don't split the efforts of the free software community. Help Trisquel instead, if you want to do something to help out. Thirdly, I know nothing about the Trisquel installer.
Re: [Trisquel-users] MonoDevelop fails to start
That is really all there is to it. I am running Trisquel 7 Belenos with belenos, belenos-security, belenos-backports, and belenos-updates enabled, on an ASUS N43SL, with your very own Trisquel (customised GNOME fallback) desktop environment. I installed monodevelop with sudo apt-get install monodevelop, and it went through fine. However, I tried running monodevelop from both the application menu and from a terminal, with and without root. When running from the menu, a 'Starting MonoDevelop...' window (which I could not actually open) appeared in the window switcher. No monodevelop or related processes were found in the System Monitor either before, during, or after my run attempts. When running from terminal, the mysterious hidden window did not appear, and the command simply gave me a new prompt. monodevelop --no-splash did nothing, but monodevelop --no-redirect gave this output: FATAL ERROR [2015-06-22 19:37:47Z]: MonoDevelop failed to start. Some of the assemblies required to run MonoDevelop (for example gtk-sharp)may not be properly installed in the GAC. System.Exception: Toolkit could not be loaded --- System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Mono.Cairo, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0738eb9f132ed756' or one of its dependencies.

I did, and that resolved the issue. Monodevelop launches fine now, and works as advertised. However, upon attempting to compile a piece of C# code, the status bar thingy at the top of the mono interface complained of not being able to find a C# compiler. I installed mono-devel (it probably would have worked with mono-mcs alone) and programs now compile fine. I fear there may be other problems with missing dependencies. Currently, neither mono-devel, mono-mcs, or libmono-cairo2.0-cil are listed as dependencies of the package monodevelop in the package repository. However, from what I remember of Mono under Debian, all of these packages were dependencies (though you should probably check the Debian repo), and it worked fine out of the box. One strange thing to note: it worked absolutely flawlessly out of the box no more than two/three weeks ago under Xfce. To conclude: I think mono-devel and libmono-cairo2.0-cil should be added to the monodevelop .deb as dependencies. A surefire way of avoiding this problem in any case.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
It is very naive to think that Malicious features simply do not thrive in libre software. More difficult, perhaps, impossible, not by the least. There are many vulnerabilities in any given software. And yes, Libre, open source software can be created with the explicit intention to create holes (bugs). An example is the prior OpenSSH debacle, this only affected systems that ran SELinux, if you did not have it installed or enabled then your system was fine. Interesting that a system designed to make your OS more secure created a major hole that was wide open! SELinux is what made OpenSSH insecure! Similar concerns have been raised with systemd. http://www.juniper.net/security/auto/vulnerabilities/vuln30276.html
Re: [Trisquel-users] How to custom a trisquel installer
You'll probably be editing the ISO-- I recall that Ubiquity has a folder somewhere in /usr/* with the slideshow data. By editing the slideshow data in that directory, you will be editing the slideshow. I wouldn't recommend you make a Trisquel-based OS except for local or personal usage, however-- it would further split the community, and re-produce Trisquel's efforts.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
For starters, the official SELinux handbook is hosted by and maintained by the NSA. Also, not the above post in response to onpon, regarding the OpenSSH debacle being created by SELinux. Systems that did not have it installed or enabled were fine.

Another update, I found out that putting the router right beside the machine makes it recognize the network, but the signal is very weak and that is suboptimal, is it possible to fix this or I have to get another wifi card?

[Trisquel-users] iwlist scan problem
Hello I have an eeebox pc EB1033, it has a Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter. It is recognized by trisquel and if I do iwconfig it shows as wlan0. Doing ifconfig wlan0 it is shown as up, however when I try to scan for networks using # iwlist wlan0 s it returns No scan results. I tried removing it and plugging again but to no avail.
Re: [Trisquel-users] iwlist scan problem
I just noticed it is exactly the same card I have in a notebook of mine with trisquel 7 in it, and it works flawlessly.

Hey, remember just yesterday when I, not taking you at all seriously, hastily replied to you based on a quick glance at what you said, and turned out to be wrong? This is not debate. You're spewing out so much bullshit so frequently that most sane people are just going to ignore what you say. I'm not going to accuse you of intentionally causing this to make people who don't share your views, but I will say that if you truly want an intelligent debate with anyone who doesn't have MB's patience, you'll have to stop saying things that are so incredibly wrong so much.

Well, all I can say to both of you is, wow! As the old saying goes...you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink...unless of course its cool-aid, and then its obvious when people drink that. Anyway, it was enjoyable, and perhaps others will read up on it, and learn as well.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
Oh, this just keeps getting funnier. The partnership as a part of the settlement over patents and only patents (again why GPL is a great creation, it avoids this nonsense), anyway, also had SUSE create their system so it can operate within companies that are mainly Microsoft oriented (ie: most companies) and the SUSE OS (SLES) would be able to work with the other systems flawlessly. But to say that SUSE or openSUSE is a Microsoft product is just laughable. Their OBS (open build service) is one of the largest repositories for free software in the world (Debian has more), however, Debian does not hold programs or build programs for other distros, openSUSE does. You can build programs for Debian, Fedora, CentOS, Slackware...etc..., I would say that is a pretty darn good commitment to open source. Again, the settlement was not between SUSE and Microsoft it was between Novell and Microsoft. And yes, I do think they (Novell) copped out and caved in to the pressure, which RedHat did not, so cudos to them for that. openSUSE is community driven like Fedora, but even more open and autonomy then Fedora. Agreed, this is not the place to discuss that distro. in any detail, but wanted to clarify your points.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
But to say that SUSE or openSUSE is a Microsoft product is just laughable. I never said that. Ever. Again, the settlement was not between SUSE and Microsoft it was between Novell and Microsoft. I never talked about a settlement. I talk about the current partnership between SUSE and Microsoft. And I gave you two references on both sides of the partnership.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
http://gcn.com/articles/2009/07/13/update2-usps-open-source-product-tracking-system.aspx This article is about compatibility between SUSE and the proprietary Solaris OS, porting COBOL programs, and cutting costs. There is not a single line on privacy concerns for its customers or on RedHat being in bed with the US Gov. Enjoying the debate, as it helps to make *nix even stronger,even if only a little bit each time. By citing random references, telling lies and propagating conspiracy theories? In my opinion, if something goes stronger, it is how foolish you look.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
This is/was the Chairman of the Board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Shelton Interesting choice for a technology company, no. http://cdn.atechnologyjobisnoexcuse.com/files/2012/02/sandia-20120206.pdf http://gcn.com/Articles/2005/01/21/Red-Hat-pushes-for-Linux-in-federal-market.aspx They are mainly a gov. company now, most of their contracts are US gov. contracts. Even USPS uses SUSE/openSUSE apparently out of privacy concerns for its customers. International Stock exchanges, and many European and Asian companies and Governments use SUSE/openSUSE, because RedHat is seen as being in bed with the US Gov.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
LOL, where do you get your outdated info. On SUSE's current website: https://www.suse.com/partners/alliance-partners/microsoft/ On Microsoft's side too: http://blogs.technet.com/b/openness/archive/2014/05/01/microsoft-suse-alliance-linux-windows-interoperability-.aspx You will learn with the second link that the current agreement is valid through 2016 and that it is far more than a patent deal: Since 2006, the Microsoft-SUSE alliance has helped more than 1,000 customers benefit from joint efforts to improve interoperability and support between Windows and Linux. We extended this agreement through 2016 and remain committed to working in tandem on solutions that help our customers manage critical workloads in mixed-source environments. Novell (...) never owned openSUSE. Novell created openSUSE after purchasing SuSE Linux AG for US$210 million on 4 November 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSUSE Anyway, I do not care about openSUSE. At all. This GNU/Linux distribution is full of proprietary software.

[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
That makes one more lie. Who keeps the count? Maybe five or six within a week? Here is the bottom line on this vulnerability (which ended up not being one): Upon investigating this issue, the Red Hat Security Response Team has determined that this is not a vulnerability. The ability to specify a desired role when connecting to OpenSSH is a feature of how OpenSSH interacts with SELinux. Users can only assign themselves SELinux roles which they have permission to access. They cannot assign themselves arbitrary roles. http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2008-3234/ Even if there was a real vulnerability, it would be an OpenSSH's bug (introduced by its developers), not a SELinux's bug. And, of course, one would expect some evidence that it was created with the explicit intention to create holes. Anyway, it was not even a vulnerability. What about the similar concerns [that] have been raised with systemd? Well, let us see if HuangLao gives us any reference. Since he never gives any and only piles up lies, I do not hold my breath.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
not sure you entirely answered the above question I am sure he did not.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
SUSE/openSUSE are very popular in Europe and Asia, in part because those countries do not trust software that is so tightly connected with the US government in general, and NSA in particular. You know that Novell (the company behind SUSE and openSUSE) is Microsoft's number 1 partner in the GNU/Linux world, right? Here is a reference: http://news.cnet.com/Microsoft+makes+Linux+pact+with+Novell/2100-1016_3-6132119.html And, you know that Microsoft has been setting up backdoors for the NSA since at least Windows NT 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSAKEY The German government still believe the NSA has a backdoor in Windows 8: http://www.technobuffalo.com/2013/08/22/nsa-windows-8-exploit/ If it promotes SUSE and openSUSE, it is because those GNU/Linux distributions are German. Not for some crazy conspiracy reasons.

look down a little lower Magic...I forgot to reply directly to his post.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Security Enhanced Linux Kernel? Eh? What's going on here? O.o!
LOL, where do you get your outdated info. The Microsoft settlement is one of the oldest sticks and exaggerations one could throw. It was a lawsuit settlement between Novell and Microsoft over patents. NEWSBREAK Novell no longer owns SUSE and they never owned openSUSE. Micro Focus International is the new owner of SUSE, and the first thing they did was give SUSE autonomy, in other words, SUSE can do their own thing make their own decisions and it is not based on Micro Focus. Also, frees them up from the Novell settlement with Microsoft. Microsoft never owned SUSE anyway that is funny. Good try Magic, would expect better from you though.
