[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Removing programes installed from source
This problem gets adressed by a program called "checkinstall". If present in the system, you can after "./configure" and "make" run the command "make checkinstall" instead of "make install". It creates a .deb package out of your compiled program. Advantage: you can install it with dpkg -i and easily remove with "sudo apt-get remove packagename". I have to mention that it's been a while ago since I last used this method. I'm sure that it's called "checkinstall", but not garuantee about the syntax etc.

Equally terrible grammar, spelling, conspiracy theories, the belief that your neighbours are more dangerous than the intelligence apparatus, and constant reference to the 'trisqueltrollsquad' made you indistinguishable from cooloutac.

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel Mini GNU Linux 7.0 LTS Belenos 64 bit review
I went to the FSF website and found only two distributions that were still being maintained that I liked. My Favorite Trisquel GNU/Linux 7.0. Now I did find some bugs as well. One thing I forgot to mention, is that when using Synaptic or the Application Add/Remove program, the package installer would never quit, unless you clicked the v down arrow and checked to see if any questions needed answered in the terminal. This should be open automatically so you can see it, or it should automatically answer the questions. Here's the rest of what I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f-MGit1ZaA This distribution has made me think of making my own distribution completely free software, and no proprietary software as well. Of course as I mention in the video, I'd need a team of volunteers to do what you people have done. If I were to work with your project instead, I'd be better at making suggestions in the beginning, than doing any coding or development, as I don't have experience with the build tools your using. I really like your download page, and all the options for the net install, and all that. You guys are awesome.

[Trisquel-users] Antwort: Changing An Application Icon In Main Menu
”Vector based formats are the preferred choice when designing and optimizing an icon (set) for a specific target dimension (e.g. 24x24 pixels)" The advantage of vector based formats is that their quality remains regardless of their size. I cannot understand why they should be the preferred choice when disigning an icon for a specific target dimension.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Changing An Application Icon In Main Menu
I do not understand why one would design an icon for a specific target dimension! The icons on the desktop can be resized. They depend on the theme (what about low-vision handicaps?), on the size of the panel (if on the panel), etc. But, sure, if for some weird reason the icon has to be displayed in 24 pixel squared area (what means tiny on a high-definition screen), then SVG has no advantage over a 24x24 raster image.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Antwort: Removing programes installed from source
"make install" isn't really needed as you can run the program that can be found in the build directory. I have been using "checkinstall make install". from the build directory, note that Checkinstall seems to take the name of the currently working directory as the package name, so if you normally make directories named as "build" just to compile things, them you'll sooner or later end up with package conflicts, and believe me, I have seen many compilation instructions do so, probably they don't care because they don't instruct the user to use "checkinstall make install" but just "make install".

Re: [Trisquel-users] How To Make Sure You Stay Libre

Re: [Trisquel-users] Cognitive ease and free software
Imagine this scenario... User: Hey, you're a computer person, can you help me with my computer? GNUser: Sure, I'll format your hard drive and install a fully libre OS for you. User: Um, ok. Can I still use Windows? GNUser: Oh no! That would harm you. I will help you replace Windows with a GNU/Linux distribution. User: Ooookay. But I'll still be able to do my work right, word processing, spreadsheets, email, browse the web, do my banking, all those things I spent hundreds of dollars buying a computer to be able to do. GNUser: Sure, GNU/Linux has software for all that. User: Cool. And this Linux thingy, it will run better than Windows too, yeah? GNUser: we... maybe, um, maybe not, um, it depends on exactly what chipsets you have inside your computer, whether they are originals or knock-offs, and whether there is libre firemware/ drivers for them yet. User: Ok, so I'm going to have to learn how to use a whole new kind of computer system, and relearn all the programs I depend on every day from scratch. If I'm lucky, the computer will run as reliably as it does with Windows or better, if I'm unlucky, it will run much worse, and I will spend days on the phone to you, or searching the web, desperately trying to find out why. GNUser: we, yes. But you won't experiences the harms of being a proprietary user, and society will benefit from your choice not to use proprietary software. User: But I won't be able to get as much work done, and I might lose my job. GNUser: Maybe, but that's the opportunity cost of taking an ethical stance. So, when do you want to get started on installing GNU/Linux. User: Um, I'll... get back to you on that. I'm not arguing that the ethics of software freedom don't matter. I'm as passionate about them as any of you. But my experience trying to convince people to transition to GNU/Linux, and supporting them when they do (starting with myself) is that there's going to be a fear of migration pain. If people subject themselves to that pain and end up with a computer that's less useful to them, they see that as a bad trade-off, and banging on about the ethical benefits doesn't change that. Lots of people having bad experiences, and spreading bad word of mouth about GNU/Linux, increases the fear of migration pain, and makes it harder to convince people to give it a try. Therefore, anything we can do to improve user-friendliness, reliability, solid hardware support etc make a very real difference to our chances of success as a software freedom movement.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Evolution remains in my system

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel Mini on a netbook with 700MHz CPU and 512MB RAM
There has been lengthy discussion on this in other threads, here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/what-repositories-debian-8-are-free-software ...and here: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/difference-between-linux-libre-kernel-and-debian-main-kernel The TL;DR, according the FSF: >> Debian's Social Contract states the goal of making Debian entirely free software, and Debian conscientiously keeps nonfree software out of the official Debian system. However, Debian also provides a repository of nonfree software. According to the project, this software is “not part of the Debian system,” but the repository is hosted on many of the project's main servers, and people can readily learn about these nonfree packages by browsing Debian's online package database. There is also a “contrib” repository; its packages are free, but some of them exist to load separately distributed proprietary programs. This too is not thoroughly separated from the main Debian distribution. Previous releases of Debian included nonfree blobs with Linux, the kernel. With the release of Debian 6.0 (“squeeze”) in February 2011, these blobs have been moved out of the main distribution to separate packages in the nonfree repository. However, the problem partly remains: the installer in some cases recommends these nonfree firmware files for the peripherals on the machine.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Evolution remains in my system
The problems with Evolution are not to do with its RAM use. They are (in no particular order); * clunky interface * randomly losing mail during IMAP sync * crappy folder support with IMAP * bugs with the spamfilter dependencies * supporting some services but not others for no obvious reason Having switched from Evolution to IceDove just recently, I doubt I'll go back. I just need to install Lightening and I'll have the full suite of (useful) functions Evolution offers. IceDove has its own issues though. Off the top of my head: * seems to use a lot of RAM * it made a mess of importing the .vcf files of my address books from Evolution, losing every bit of data except the email addresses, and losing a number of the entries completely * there are far too many disparate places for adjusting difference kinds of settings and preferences * pops up incoming emails in tabs, but when I compose it pops up a separate window

Re: [Trisquel-users] Changing An Application Icon In Main Menu
Optimizations are mostly needed for very small icons when there's only a limited amount of pixels to use, however, more details can be added at larger sizes (up to 512x512 pixels). Vector icons are NOT the type of one-size-fits-all. They look good within a range of sizes they were designed for. Desktop icons fit into the general/mid-range so they're not really affected by this. Here's a real-life example of an icon optimized for different sizes (icon comes from trisquel-icon-theme): And this is a visual representation of what I mean:

Do you have only one Wifi device or two (like me: one shipped with the laptop but that cannot be used in freedom and one compatible dongle)? If so, removing the useless one could help (or not!).

Re: [Trisquel-users] Changing An Application Icon In Main Menu
This isn't about that I don't like vector graphics formats (I prefer SVG whenever I can!), it's just that working with them (in Inkscape) is impossibly hard, and totally user-unfriendly (far worse than using GIMP). That, and because I usually use raster images as source when creating or editing icons (usually) for games are the main reasons why I choose PNG over SVG.
[Trisquel-users] More ram for my thinkpad?
Hey guys, i have a thinkpad t60 and i often encounter problems when i do stuff that requires a little bit more ram. A webpage with a lot of images can slow the pc down in a way that it's effectively frozen; also if i do some work with gimp. I thought, maybe the ram is the bottleneck, because it's only 1g. When it comes to hardware, i know nothing at all. I'm really unskilled with this kind of things; once i tried to replace my wifi card and damaged my pc. So, my question is: can a hardware noob also add a bit of ram to a thinkpad, yes or no? I have so many old, broken laptops somewhere in my flat can i use some ram from those old ones? What do i have to take care of? Will any ram be suitable? I don't even know if there is still space for more ram in my thinkpad. please help me out.

I have yet to use full 2 gb on my laptop (or the previous one). Both lappys have/had 4 gb ram, I never saw the point in having more than 2 gb of ram. I have to say that I hate multitasking. I love to do one thing at the time, so maybe that is the reason why my ram usage rarely exceedes 1 gb of ram. But even with some heavy GIMP work or a heavy website like say Diaspora when you load a huge stream full of gifs and stuff I rarely saw my RAM usage come nearly to 2 gigs.
