Re: [Trisquel-users] Icecat 31.7.0
find the repo for IceCat Find what? Unless you've done something stupid with your sources list, it should be in the Trisquel repo. installing from source You didn't need to do that. is there an easy way to install? It's called apt-get. Just apt-get icecat (as root).
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Am I the only person here not experiencing any strange issues with the latest Abrowser? It works perfectly for me. Haven't changed any settings since before the update. I don't even mind reader mode. I tried it out the first time, didn't really see the point (though it is a nice gimmick) and it has never popped up again. It's probably because I don't really use any of the addons- I kept my browser as vanilla as possible.

Re: [Trisquel-users] help me choose a configuration
Icecat was working fine on my system in Trisquel mini, and I think in Mint too. this is not being a resource hog this is pegging one cpu to max in a broken sort of way.

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 feedback (with hardware details)
I am running an Acer Aspire One. Former Ubuntu user, sat a spell on Debian too. Been running 6 Toutatis for about 2 years. Install stays pretty stable for at least that long, even with me installing a lot of extra packages for testing, so pretty reliable, and simple to use. Easy install, works from a USB with UNetbootin, and I'd been thinking it was about time for a fresh install. Just installed 7 Belanos on a separate partition. Had a few teething problems with the GRUB2 configuration (see GRUB issues thread), but got that sorted now. IceCat a bit wobbly, particularly with LibreJS turned on, writing this in Abrowser, in a guest session on 7. A few hardware issues. The display offers a much smaller range of resolutions (800x600 4:3 and 1024x600 16:9) than in 6, which isn't a major problem with one screen, but I haven't yet tested with two. Can't figure out how (or if) to switch from Metacity to Compiz, or change the desktops back to a square (they're in a line by default in 7, why?). The scroll bar on the right-hand edge of the built-in touchpad works in 6, but not in 7, which is a nuisance but tolerable. I can use GUI click-and-drag scroll bars, but using a touchpad with a screen this size makes them fiddly (any way to make the scrollbars appear as wider in Abrowser?). Is the forum the best way to give such feedback?
Re: [Trisquel-users] help me choose a configuration
IceCat has LibreJS add-on installed. It can sometimes be a resource hog, especially on slower systems. Now that I checked it with trisquel.info, it seems to require 40+ seconds on modern hardware. But with LibreJS disabled the website loads quite fast.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
What is the quickest way to get this problem fixed? It seems like a major issue like this should be dealt with more quickly. Also, why is it that as soon as a new package version is available the old one is immediately removed from the repos? In a situation like this I'd like to downgrade back to abrowser 38 but can't. I had to go back to 33.1 instead.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 feedback (with hardware details)
In a thread of GRUB issues, we drifted into some general feedback on 7: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/grub-issues#comment-73834 onpon4 wrote about the lack of easy access to Compiz in 7: The tool you're talking about was from the Trisquel devs, and it was dropped in Trisquel 7. You now need to enable Compiz by yourself. The script is pretty simple, though, so you could copy it from Trisquel 6 to Trisquel 7, or 8 (whatever you upgrade to next), or just read it to understand how to enable Compiz manually. Ok. So does the script you speak of download Compiz from the repositories before it does anything else? Or is it that Compiz is still in the default install, but there's no longer a GUI way to turn it on?

Re: [Trisquel-users] experience with Trisquel mini
I have been looking for a way to install unetbootin for days, i really don't care which version, i'd be using downloaded images anyway. however I can't find it in the trisquel repo, and sourceforge appears to be broken so I haven't managed to get it.
Re: [Trisquel-users] experience with Trisquel mini
thanks! i'll try this when I get time for another session with it. Clear instructions like that from the actual source of the software makes things much easier. I can follow what the commands are doing but I wouldn't have known them myself. Of course to really make it easy may I suggest you make a .deb file download from your site? if the Startup Disk Creator tool included with Trisquel is known to not work properly, then why not just replace it in the distro with freenetbootin?
Re: [Trisquel-users] experience with Trisquel mini
I'm a bit unclear what you are requesting and in which case it didn't happen. If everyone replies to the post most relevant to their reply then the latest post forks off all over the place, doesn't that make it harder? Nevertheless I thought that's what we were doing...

Re: [Trisquel-users] New arrival
doesn’t libreboot do that..? Sure, but some people might still prefer to guy from Gluglug anyway. In this way you get to support Francis and his ongoing work. As an example, I purchased his Libreboot installation service so as to support him financially even though I already had Libreboot installed. I wanted to support him. We need libreboot and it's in our shared best interests to be sure he's still around and able to work on it full-time. That means money to pay rent and buy food and etc. as he currently does nothing else but Libreboot. (If you think of it, the computer selling business is a way to support his work.) Freedom isn't free: Support freedom. :)
[Trisquel-users] Re : experience with Trisquel mini

Re: [Trisquel-users] experience with Trisquel mini
making .deb packages is something i'd like to learn to do. i wondered if g++ was just another missing package does build-essential include g++? a thought- since trisquel is all about software freedom, and the whole point of free software is that you can modify and rebuild it - would it be good if standard tools for compiling were included in trisquel by default?

both top and system monitor show the icecat process using 100% when i try to visit this website. abrowser is fine. incidentally when i remove and reinstall icecat it has all my old bookmarks and prefs, presumably it is getting them from abrowser, is it supposed to share users in this way?

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
I'm running a fairly fresh install (from a few days ago) of Trisquel 7 (32bit), on an Acer Aspire One. I have 1GB memory, which was always enough on Trisquel 6, and I'm using a swap partition. Just updated to ABrowser 39, which crashed repeatedly. I had this page open in a tab: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/radio-talk-show-covering-free-software-declare-your-independence-ernest-hancock ...and the podcast in that thread open in a second tab. I opened a third tab, and tried to search !imdb the cartel thrice. The first time I did it from the address bar, instant crash. The second time I tried it from the search box, instant crash. The third time, I closed the other two tabs and tried it, instant crash. Then I open ABrowser, closed the session restore, and closed the browser. Then opened it again. Did the same search in the address bar, instant crash. Same again with the search bar. Tried again with the !imdb, same result from both address bar and search box. Then it offered me the choice to refresh ABrowser, which I did. Same search, still crashed. Same when I used the search bar in the start page. Tried safe/ troubleshooting mode, seemed to make no difference. I'd also like the option to roll back to a previous version when this happens with application updates.

That's too bad, but at least the data can remain more reliably on a hdd (thanks again for the link BCG). Yeah I know about yacy. I was thinking about searx instead. Butt it seems that should work since it's an option on yunohost (thanks Magic Banana). On the way, I learned about freedom box and the dream plug. BBB is better, and is ARM as well (less power consumption). Seems yunohost was first. Unless there's a serious downside to yunohost, it seems awesome with a future Libreboot on the BBB. Even libreboot seems like being overkill since there's no AMT/ME on the BBB.

Updating the kernel seems to have helped, but oddly not all at once it wasn't like flipping a switch it just improved gradually after updating the kernel. the next 2 are not trisquel issues, but more general: * not a bug as such, but with MATE and Gnome both installed the panel applet in MATE that lets you control network connections is invisible. I believe this is a known conflict, and wouldn't a be long term problem as I intend to pick one or the other, but if anyone knows how I can switch net connections on and off and pick wifi networks etc in MATE without that applet I'd love to hear about it as a short term workaround. * the impossible-to-grab resize corners in windows using GTK2 really bugs me, I'm aware of the alt right click alternative, which is great, but not so good if controlling the computer one handed while holding a guitar and leaning across a table, as I often need to do. this is a point against MATE and for Gnome3 fallback, I think, though it seems to depend a bit on the app. Also MATE in Mint seems better with the corners, so what is different there? Other than that I think I prefer MATE but there are pros and cons. there are quite a few more issues, that are not bugs as such but general issues with GNU/Linux common to all or many distros. Not sure if I should get into that as I'm finding I get better answers to obvious small bugs than to general why make it like that? type issues. I guess I'm concerned that if after much work if I get a solid trisquel install, and manage to work out a system to transfer it to multiple/new computers (looking into remastersys or similar) that the hardware support issue of using only free software may bite me in the future - however it is now mostly behaving on my laptop, though it was totally not usable on first install. So there's a defined issue, why does a system that behaves fine running off a live USB stick seem to have major hardware issues when actually installed on the same system? Having got a setup I like then being able to backup and transfer it easily between machines or reinstall a clean system with all my apps in place on the same machine is very important to me, and I haven't really tried it yet.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Advertising Trisquel FLOSS
i know how to use kdenlive(video editor) and have made several projects using it before and i know more of less how to use gimp so i could help with some advertising
Re: [Trisquel-users] help me choose a configuration
Seconded. Just use Abrowser if you want less hassle. PS. To completely remove a package (binaries and config files) type apt-get purge package.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New arrival
Well said. Support freedom. What I meant by 'Intel proprietary CPU stuff'- I didn't mean BIOS but Intel AME and AMT. I have no clue what they are, but Gluglug have gotten rid of them too, as well as replacing the BIOS.
[Trisquel-users] Advertising Trisquel FLOSS
Hi, I was thinking about Trisquel and how it gets recognized in the (tech) public sphere. While digging trough the wiki I stumbled upon the article on Proposed policies, procedures, solutions where it states: Team Leaders [...] marketing / press relations / artwork lead / active in fund raising (to learn about and write up press releases, seek donations, etc) Is there anyone working on that parts of Trisquel? If not, are there people around willing to join me in forming a team for public relations and such? vinz.

Re: [Trisquel-users] experience with Trisquel mini
i tried again. I have been looking in synaptic and unetbootin doesn't show. maybe i am searching wrong? i just tried add/remove applications again and unetbootin is there. why are the 2 methods different? aren't they both searching the same repo? now i have a gui glitch preventing me from actually selecting it...
