Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 consistently fails to add network printer?
It's a standalone communal printer/photocopier/scanner at my place of work (I'd ask tech support for help, but they only support Microsoft's OS). I'm not entirely sure of they exact model- if necessary, I can ask tomorrow when tech support are here- but the device has "Canon", "4025", and "ImageRUNNER Advance" stuck on the front of it if that helps. Sorry I can't give you more details- I'm really not experienced with these sorts of things. I'll do my best to provide any information requested though.

What printer are we talking about? For many printers, you only need to connect it by USB and it works.
[Trisquel-users] Re : vnc via ssh over internet
The NAT router must only be configured on the server side. It would be good to have three manuals. A first manual that would focus on configuring a NAT server so that a server behind it can be contacted. The fundamental problem is: there are as many configuration interfaces as there are NAT routers. Then, a second manual on SSH. It would reference the first manual in cases it is necessary, i.e., when the server is behind a NAT. And, finally, a manual on VNC to get a remote desktop within the local network (easy, no need for SSH nor for traversing a router) and, in another section, through Internet (reference to the previous manual to first get an SSH connection). But, again, graphical interfaces through the Internet are very slow. To the point of being unusable.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum request: signatures
I get your point, hack >frequently asked subjects In the Spanish forum, which I invaded a long time ago with my pseudospanishblabla, we have a "frequently asked questions" page which we link when a newcomer asks for something obvious. Maybe we could just make one like that in Eng so as not to repeat always the same on those few same topics, like for instance, "is Debian libre, Is Firefox Libre, How to view flash content etc etc"
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 consistently fails to add network printer?
I know this is probably an obvious question, but: How would I go about updating the drivers? Sorry- I'm not particularly experienced with GNU/Linux.
[Trisquel-users] WIKI: Remote desktop connection
As I've failed to find a comprehensive, accurate and step-by-step guide (for beginners) on how to establish a remote desktop connection, I've decided make/initiate one myself. Please edit or give comments - directly in the wiki or to me. It's my goal to formulate the how to in an easily understood language, aiming at people with less technical insight (as my self).

Thanks. Based on your answer, I've started this wiki: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/remote-desktop-over-internet If you have comment and time please edit the wiki or write to me - then I'll edit.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Forum request: signatures
The forum software works, but my main concern (apart threads being locked after some time) is the access to knowledge. It's all wiki-focused, which is both good and bad. I never ever think of looking for something in there. I just use the search feature. So I thought a few links in the signature, even linking to the wiki, would make a more visible help for some frequently asked subjects. But to get there, I need to spend (waste?) time learning about mailing lists, which I don't care about. It's the first time in my life I've seen such a basic feature missing. It's only one small feature, but those little things add up over time. So it works, but it's more like "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" kind of thing. Well, Trisquel is a bit like that as well (Abrowser has a weird diagonal since the update, and vimfx doesn't work anymore, and so on), because it takes a lot of time, which Ruben doesn't have. I understand, but it's frustrating, specially as the flagship for free-software. Hence me calling the forum software archaic, and trisquel being ok, but often late on security, and sometimes lacking the polish needed to not get in the user's way. But to be fair, it's an overall frustration with some GNU/Linux programs that are unreliable (I'm speaking of my love/hate relationship with Jitsi), but thankfully, most programs are both awesome, and nearly rock solid. But again, I know it's hard work and that it demands a lot of time. Anyway, all this is in reaction of someone downvoting my pretty neutral first thread (and changed his/her mind on the way, which means ther is hope). But no worries with the downvote thing, I'm just saying that it's a lazy and unclear way to communicate. And it's exactly what you're saying, it's supposed to signal spam etc. Hell, even I overuse it to upvote feature sometimes.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Automation, free software and moral duty
Then ok, it's not fully libre culture by definition. Yet I still think it's libre enough. I'm all for focusing on freedom, unless it ends up hurting me. I mean the right to re-sell artwork serves no logical nor meaningful purpose.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Automation, free software and moral duty
One must remember that XKCD is at least shareable, not free/libre. I'm not a free/libre culture activist, but this is one of the distinctions from free/libre software movement, and free/libre culture movement. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is google authenticator free software?
Ok, maybe then it's better to change google authenticator with OTP in electrum if the first is outdated and OTP works with trustedcoin.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Is google authenticator free software?
"Is google authenticator free software?" "It seems that the free version doesn't get updates and the application at the Play store is a different newer proprietary one." Well it sounds like you've answered your own question: Whether or not it is free software depends on which one you're using. If you want one-time passwords there are other programs in F-Droid too. Search for "OTP".

[Trisquel-users] Is google authenticator free software?
Hello, Electrum suggests google authenticator for two-factor authentication but I'm not sure if it's free software any more. It seems that the free version doesn't get updates and the application at the Play store is a different newer proprietary one. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=google+authenticator=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2

[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 consistently fails to add network printer?
I'm not sure this is the right place to post help requests, but... Today I tried to add a network printer. I started by opening the system settings, selecting "printers", and pressing the + button. Clicking the printer on the list brought up a message saying "Failed: could not add network printer". A quick help search suggested the "system-config-printer" command and using CUPS' web interface, but the former doesn't exist and the latter demands I know the printer address and protocol (which I couldn't find on the printer, and isn't available from the list the original attempt brings up). I'm presuming this isn't a needs-proprietary-software issue, as Fedora could add the printer find using the generic driver. Thanks in advance!
