Re: [Trisquel-users] Appelbaum on hardware on debian
If you have documentation on Appelbaum's wrongdoings, you should write them. Appelbaum is hard on others and he must expect the same treatment. I have heard him talk about the german party linke in what could be positive terms. Linke has members from the ddr sed party. Members who have not distanced themselves from the ddr dictatorship. Appelbaum should know better and probably does. About what he makes public about computers, several times I have seen it verified by other tech people. I have no skills to verify his pieces of information. Appelbaum doing something for purism for money, I have seen no documentation for that, I regard unlikely. If he wants to be devious, he probably have lots of more well paid options. Like many others, I find his purism involvement strange. He should know better.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
If I put a non trisquel question or link in trisquel users, it is because I have no expectation my post will be read if posted in the troll hole. Make a subject named non trisquel, free software and hardware related posts. If it shows that it will not be active, users again will start posting non trisquel questions in trisquel users. About banning I do not know if this is technically possible. If two moderators decide to ban or delete an account or post, they can do so. A user subject to the ban or deletion should be granted a right to complain to a third moderator.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
Hi! To clarify things a bit more, the issue was not spam-related, and it was not exactly a matter of someone posting an inappropriate opinion, but more like a deeply rude repeated behaviour, including but not limited to personal threats and direct insults spread through several threads. I know that those absent (but not deleted) posts break the continuity of legit exchanges, and I'll look into solving that issue. I also hate as much as any of you any mod interference in a conversation, which is why we often leave some similar issues to just die of old age or be buried at The Troll Hole. But sometimes things get just way out of hand to expect a reasonable outcome from self-regulation (in which I still believe as a whole). Those measures weren't intended to be a full solution, I just wanted to put a stop to something which I think degrades our community and the experience of those involved (and has done so in the past). I'll look deeper into what can be done to minimize the side-effects of toxic behaviour in our amazing community without disrupting its flow. Unrelated bit: we do use captchas and other measures to fight spam, they're just set up to be as little inconvenient as possible to real people, which makes them a bit less effective; but hey, thankfully we've got an amazing spam brigade to keep things under control :)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
precisely the same way a classic Windows menu is To be fair, Trisquel already does a pretty damn good job of getting the Windows feel. The only thing that could be better is the 'Start' menu itself- but that's up to the GNOME people to release an Xfce-style 'whisker' menu (aka Mint default).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
Hmmm, funny. I used GNOME Shell the whole time I was a Debian user, and loved it (and I'm not exactly a noob or anything). 1. Call me boring, but I think GNOME 3.14 with Adwaita and Debian Lines is approaching Apple-level beauty. I barely even customised it. Actually, the lack of customisation was one of the things I liked about it, because what happens whenever I'm offered something with more customisation, I spend hours configuring and reconfiguring it, going through every_single_option (Think Xfce, the lighter WMs, WindowMaker) and then changing it every few days. Customisation quickly becomes an obsession (yay OCD!) and I'd rather avoid that. With a fresh install of 3.14, I can just run through the options, tweak, and I'm done. 2. Although GNOME Shell gets a lot of flak for its (un)usability, it actually really suits my workflow, with the overview bound to Super, and minimal clutter. I currently use Trisquel DE (which I've customised to look like Ubuntu GNOME 2) and launching a program requires a click on Applications hunting through menus and then finally launching it, whereas in GNOME I would just hit Super and type the first few letters of the name. I could launch whatever I wanted entirely hands free. So I like GNOME 3, for both its sexiness, and workflow. By using GNOME. you're also attracting people to GNU, because it's so damn pretty. People get interested, as opposed to the stock 'oh, ugliness' reaction to Xfce, say.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Software Updater proceeds without authentication
This constant updating without authentication is more than slightly disturbing. Have you combed through *all* your Software Updater settings? Is there some sort of 'hands-free maintenance' mode you've enabled by mistake? I don't use Software Updater anyway, so I'm practically clueless as to the problem- can't you just use the terminal? Just make updating manually a habit. Question- is your account 'Administrator' by any chance? Check in the accounts thingy in the control panel (I assume you're using the default DE). Should I care? Well, nothing actively bad will probably come of it, but I would feel really insecure (perhaps irrationally) of my machine doing things behind my back like that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Software Updater proceeds without authentication
Yes, I'm the administrator, but I'm also the only user. Been that way since the beginning, earlier this year ... but the no-authentication business only started recently, about the time of my first post on this topic. before that, I was always asked to authenticate. Terminal _always_ demand authentication. Mine is an upside-down organzation: five installations and only one user. Just being paranoid about hardware availability. Over my 56 year career since my undergraduate days my computer needs have been generally modest, but the workable systems keep getting yanked out of my grasp. As an example, my company's 1st PC in 1985 was an IBM PC-XT running DOS, and my word-processing S/W was DisplayWrite 3. After a couple of years I happened upon a computer store that was demonstrating the new edition of DisplayWrite, but it was a completely different S/W with different menus and an unfamiliar look feel. Eventually we got a PC-AT and I had to commission a cooperative fellow in the UK to modify DisplayWrite 4 (thankfully working more-or-less just like DisplayWrite 3) to run on the PC-AT. Cost about 3X as much as just clenching my teeth and learning DisplayWrite 6 (the utterly new S/W) but it worked great. Then came Windows 3.11 which set me off by just up calling the mother ship whenever it felt like it. And on on while all I was doing 98% of the time was writing reports. I got tired of all that and started to try to use linux around Y2K. Installation was a nightmare of conflicting instructions but it was stable. Installing new versions of linux was worse and usually cost the company more than a new PC just to keep on writing reports. Now we have the polar opposites of Windows and GNU/Linux (particularly Trisquel !) ... Windows with its automatic updates which stop me dead in my tracks at all the worst times, especially McAfee, which eradicated my T-bird Inbox once (which I was able to restore from my linux version of T-bird running on another PC). Now you may be able to see why I'm worried about Software Updater, even though the automaticity does _not_ extend to doing so whenever it feels like it, because it still has to wait for me to initiate the update process.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
Sure, It would improve the classic feel, though Trisquel as is does already a good job at that. But if doable, I don't think it's wasted time. You know what people say about first impressions. But the difference with GNOME Shell with a classic menu is that the latter is less configurable, thus much harder to break. I managed to break my Trisquel bar, for example, though it happened only once. But once is all that's needed to send a negative (but false) message on unreliability.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!
Actually, the lack of customisation was one of the things I liked about it, because what happens whenever I'm offered something with more customisation, I spend hours configuring and reconfiguring it Exactly.

About your workflow and the overview, you can try Dmenu which is text-only, so it's maybe less beautiful (no icons etc), but does the job probably even faster.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum action needed (and temporary measures taken)
I think I should note that moderation can be done right if its deployed carefully and the moderators are in regular contact with community leaders such as David. This forum is often a mess and is unhelpful to new users. The fact that it took the really outlandish behavior recently to conjure any kind of response is a real problem that will hurt our communities growth especially with non-technical users. Having Moderators that can: 1. Ban accounts like the one that was just problematic, but have some type of threshold before the ban sets in would be a solid move. 2. Having the ability to move unrelated posts to their own topic. There are several threads that are really useful to start but then get sacked by good questions, but are completely unrelated to the thread. 3. Act as an arbitrator between parties to avoid bans in the first place 4. Perhaps be the person designated to update the forum on official Trisquel news as it is clear since its been four months since there was a blog post and official forum announcements are just as rare that someone should take it on. I get the freedom of speech sentiment of the posters thus far, but someone needs to herd the cats because Trisquel is a product that many people (and hopeful many more in the future) use for a myriad of reasons and they need to be able to access the forum to get the support they need without being harassed or led astray.

This applies doubly to governments and educational or scientific institutions: content which is of high cultural or educational value should be made available under conditions which will ensure its widespread use. It seems that it's really a matter of context. I mean we're not talking about free software here, or content of high cultural or educational value. As an author (let's stick with the online comics example), It's clearly unthinkable. It's personal work. I really don't see how in that specific context it is unethical.

[Trisquel-users] Automatic duplex printer, scanner with cheap ink?
I have looked and it seems that a HP printer supported by HPLIP isnt a guarantee that it is supported by Trisquel. All Envy and almost all Officejet that is in h-node database is supported. My search is after a automatic duplex printer with scanner, USB and maybe RJ45. I dont print so much so my search is for a cheaper that I can refill ink. HP Envy 5640 but use the new HP 62 cartridge that is hard to find ink for me. Officejet 5740 has Ethernet that is nice but it has the HP 62 cartridge. Older Envy 5530, Envy 4500 (Only wifi tested at h-node.) and Officejet 4630 use HP301 that is easy find ink for. But I'm not interested in the document scanner on Officejet 4630. Do all these printers work with Trisquel? One other question. Can these printer print print even when one color is empty or printer believe is empty?

Comics are artistic works. You have spectators. Not users. rms would only insist on the freedom to non-commercially redistribute the comics. Even CC BY-NC-ND satisfies that requirement. That said, I understand the practical (rather than ethical) issues the NC clause raises.

I believe you are use the mailing list and reply to messages that were deleted from the forum, hence the confusion. See https://trisquel.info/forum/doomdoom-ii-trisquel to understand.
[Trisquel-users] Re : How to split windows nautilus with F3?
With GNOME Shell (with the default desktop as well?) you can make the window take the left (respectively right) hand side of the screen with the shortcut Meta-Left (respectively Meta-Right) where Meta is the windows key on most keyboard and Left (respectively Right) is the arrow pointing in that direction. You can then open another window (with Ctrl+N for instance). If it does not take the whole other half of the screen (here it does) then use the related shortcut. Those keyboard work with any window. Not only with those of the file browser.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Automatic duplex printer, scanner with cheap ink?
Picking a printer that works with Trisquel can be difficult because Trisquel does not support current HP models generally speaking. As was mentioned we try and stock a few that *will* work today with Trisquel, but they're not readily available, and we don't ship the printers outside of the states at the moment. It's a bit tricky to do for a variety of reasons not least be different regions need different cables, and there may or may not be ink sold locally in a given region. It's not a guarantee as HP does have different variations which some might not work or not work out of the box anyway, but I'd suggesting starting with HP's documentation here: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/recommended.html What you want to do is click on the particular model printer your looking to buy and make sure it has the following: Minimum HPLIP version which is less than the number for which is included in version of Trisquel your using. To do that go check packages.trisquel.info. Enter HPLIP into the Search packages directory field/box. Then under where it says Package hplip look for the version in the description. In Trisquel 7 (which is belenos)the version is 3.14.3. Next check that the 'Support level' says full. If it doesn't then you might be able to print with the all-in-one, but it won't scan. Or maybe the print resolution will be less than the printer is capable of. Next check the 'Recommended?'. Make sure it says Yes. If you don't get a recommended model then you might not get bug fixes and similar in the near future, or it might not be supported at all even. HP does not indefinitely provide support any more. They maintain the support provided that it continues to work, but if it stops working, nobody from HP is going to fix it. Outside developers are welcome to submit fixes, but HP makes no guarantees to the company fixing these models. Now this is where the freedom aspect comes into play. There are two sections at the bottom. One says Driver plug-in. What this really means is that there is or isn't a proprietary component required. Make sure it says none here. The other critical thing to check is where it says 'Requires firmware download'. If it says Yes then it won't be supported in Trisquel either as this is also a proprietary component.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
Alright, I'll be able to try it in 4 hours when I put my kid to bed and I'll post back. Thanks a ton in advance, Trisquel has been my best Gnu/Linux experience yet, I won't give up easily. So from what I gather, correct me if I'm wrong, gnash or other freeware just isn't capable of keeping up to all the new video format updates recently?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
You shouldn't have to do anything other than install the MPV plug-in and restart. Not sure what other plug-ins you have installed.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
I've seen a few Richard Stallman videos about free(dom) software and that is how I came across Trisquel. I only feel locked down because of my lack of experience with the OS not because of the actual features. I greatly respect that there are actually people out there using their knowledge to create this software and help people like me learn it. Would you recommend keeping gnash installed while using these plugins? I'll try all these suggestions right away and let you guys know how it goes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
I pointed out above that the problems your running into are with the hardware and/or proprietary components. It's not likely your going to see a fix for these- or if you do it won't be any time soon (including likely after you've disposed of the PC). There are a few things you might be able to do in relation to the touchpad problem (ie the keyboard behaving in a problematic way when you type). You can configure it to automatically disable the touchpad which may solve the keyboard problem. What might be going on is your palm is touching the touchpad while your typing which is causing problems. You might also be able to force the system to recognize the touchpad as a PS2 mouse. You'll lose out on multi-touch and scrolling, but it may work better. Ultimately a new computer is probably your best answer because of the # and severity of these issues. With the graphics card you can probably just remove it and use the integrated Intel graphics and you may be able to replace the wifi card in the computer. If you can't do the wifi card you could probably just get an external one. The internal cards are better though IMHO- though I like our USB G adapter a lot (despite it being older tech there isn't any firmware and it'll work *everywhere* with *everything* including TVs, mini boards (ie like ARM), etc. though the 802.11n USB adapters are also the next widely supported... but the support doesn't go back as far... ).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Automatic duplex printer, scanner with cheap ink?
and don't support postscript (or true postscript or something). Any laser printer that doesn't support PostScript is a piece of junk IMO. Stick to those that do.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Internet Video Playback
MPV looks great... but it does not properly work here. I installed the youtube-dl package and the plugin and tried to configure it to use /usr/bin/totem or /usr/bin/player. In the former case, totem is launched but seems to recursively load in the playlist every single file in my home folder! In the latter case, MPlayer does not even seem to be launched. A conflict with one of my other extensions maybe?
Re: [Trisquel-users] HP LaserJet Printer P1005 Printer not working with Trisquel 6.0
Just wrote another lengthy, but informative post on picking out an HP printer (particularly if your outside the USA). Going to copy here for you below. As others stated they're all right about the non-free plug-in issue with this printer. This model is not free software friendly at all... there are a number of problems with HP printers you should be aware of in your hunt for a replacement and I'll try and go over a number of them below. HP is the best as far as I'm concerned in regards to documenting and supporting free software within the printer realm. And to give you background on me I'm the CEO of ThinkPenguin. I've got a bit of experience in this department so the info below is *quite* reliable. We've been selling printers within the US for years, and every one is thoroughly checked out before being added to our catalog. Unfortunately we can't really ship outside the US at the moment (well, Canada maybe, not Mexico, Europe, Australia, etc). ... here goes: Picking a printer that works with Trisquel can be difficult because Trisquel does not support current HP models generally speaking. It's one of the problems with looking through h-node for a printer. Chances are you won't actually be able to find a model that is still readily available on the market. There are a very small number of exceptions. As was mentioned we try and stock a few that *will* work today with Trisquel, but they're not readily available, and we don't ship the printers outside of the states at the moment. It's a bit tricky to do for a variety of reasons not least be different regions need different cables, and there may or may not be ink sold locally in a given region. It's also not a guarantee that what HP reports will work will actually work in Trisquel. For a variety of reasons this is the case. One being non-free pieces, but another being there are different variations, which does impact support. There are actually more issues I've recently realized as well with the way some distributions (and probably Trisquel too) are importing updated versions from upstream (or failing to do so I should say- that is to say there might be an updated driver for hplip in ubuntu-backports, but that doesn't mean that Trisquel 7 has imported the updated version from ubuntu-backports, so while a printer may work in Ubuntu 14.04 via ubuntu-backports you can't just assume that other distributions based on Ubuntu 14.04 will also support the same printers). If your outside the US I'd suggesting starting with HP's documentation here as it does provide the best starting point in terms of locating a Trisquel compatible printer (much more so than the h-node database): http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/recommended.html What you want to do is click on the particular model printer your looking to buy and make sure it has the following: Minimum HPLIP version which is less than the number for which is included in version of Trisquel your using. To do that go check packages.trisquel.info. Enter HPLIP into the Search packages directory field/box. Then under where it says Package hplip look for the version in the description.

The other critical thing to check is where it says 'Requires firmware download'. If it says Yes then it won't be supported in Trisquel either as this is also a proprietary component. The last thing I need to point out is that while HPLIP is free software it will download non-free components for many HP models. As a result it's not sufficient to install the latest HPLIP driver from HP. You will only be able to determine if a printer is free software friendly (or likely is) by checking the information above. The Trisquel version of HPLIP has been modified to exclude printers which are dependent on non-free pieces. As a result it wouldn't surprise me if there are errors in h-node's database in regards to any HP printers listed. Many users that are
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
Try MPV. It's a plug-in that for the browser that uses youtube-dl to display the video within the browser without Adobe Flash. It works on near 1000 sites minus the few commercial streaming sites (ie Netflix and probably Amazon Prime, and Hulu): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/watch-with-mpv/ Now it is humorous that these sites would demand DRM considering that there are lots of sites distributing this same material presumably in violation of the copyright owners. However I know of very (actually I can't think of more than one person) few people who would respect the major entertainment players copyrights which means the entire DRM-effort is utterly pointless. Now I think you should adjust this to Android 3.0.1 instead of pretending to be using an iPad. I'd suggest not contributing to the Apple user statistics. This give Apple more leverage and they one of the bigger players at odds with our interests. You can fix this in the User Agent Switcher. Go to Tools Default User Agent Edit User Agent and click the New button New User Agent. In the user agent field past the following: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-us; GT-P7100 Build/HRI83) AppleWebkit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13 And for the App code name: Mozilla You can enter Android 3 for the description and delete whatever is in the other fields (other than the ones above of course)... It is a valid argument that Android is Google and Android isn't much better, but I think in the scheme of things Apple is more of a threat, which is why I'd suggest switching. I don't know how this compares to Apple as far as sites supporting it, but Android also doesn't support Flash so it should probably be just as effective. I know for the BBC news videos the Android 3.0.1 user agent string above works wonderfully.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Automatic duplex printer, scanner with cheap ink?
Go with a laser printer. Yes, inkjets cost less up front but they always have high prices for ink and usually anti-features so as to reject third party ink cartridges. Plus, you don't end up with water soluble ink like with an inkjet. And even if there isn't a driver specifically for GNU/Linux you can always use the generic Postscript driver from CUPS. Any laser printer should be capable of understanding PostScript so compatibility is practically guaranteed.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet Video Playback
Well I started with vanilla Ubuntu and it was a very painful learning curve just because of driver support and getting raid 0 to work. I was immensely proud of myself when I finally got my gpu, wifi, and raid all working then out of nowhere it would just lock up. Tried a few other distros, mainly Ubuntu derivatives but I understand the importance of our privacy and freedom so once I heard Trisquel from Stallman I was sold so to speak. I don't think I will quit unless there is another more developed alternative. Although I'm dual booting windows for gaming purposes I would like to in the near future cut it out entirely. Thanks for the tips, I will let you guys know how things go in a few minutes here.
