I pretty much did all the checks I could find, but I still have issues with  
alsa.


I'll try to set up my external soundcard as the default one and hope for the  
best.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Flatpak on Trisquel 7

2017-07-29 Thread davesamcdxv
This is a tad irrelevant now but the reason flatpak couldn't be installed is  
because in that PPA it's not available for Ubuntu trusty (upon which Trisquel  
7 is based)

Super odd: in Audacious, instead of default pcm in the parameters, I selected  
one of the lines named after my external soundcard and I got sound output.


Now I restart qjackctl, and it doesn't fail.
I don't understand.

In alsamixer, I have no levels of volumes displayed, and I can't mute any  
channel.


Next, I close Audacious, open it again and it fails.

I suppose I need to configure default_pcm.


[Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 is not old

2017-07-29 Thread william . lauritzen90

Hello Everybody

I just wanted to say that Trisquel 7.0 is based off Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr  
and while it is 3 years old. It is still supported until 2019-04.

Additionally, for GNU Ring, there is a test package that you can use in
your current copy of Trisquel 7, by installing GNU Guix package manager
([[https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/]]), and then installing the test
package. It's not officially in the GNU Guix repositories due to overuse
of patching by GNU Ring project.

As of 2017-07-29, the latest version of the test package can be found
here:
[[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-06/msg00120.html]]. Also
be aware that you will have to deal with the ${XDG_DATA_DIRS} variable
in a special way (slightly different to what GNU Guix would suggest you
to do when installing the packages):
[[https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-03/msg00755.html]].

It is much easier, better for your privacy & more secure to install software  
on Trisquel than on Windows or any other proprietary

Synpatic Package Manager is a great tool that serves to search  
install,remove, update, repair broken packages from Trisquel's repositary.


Trisquel is dedicated to beginners.

Nevermind, the interfaces are not in /etc/network/interfaces.
Minimal install is a bit too minimal sometimes.

As for the sound, no idea.


[Trisquel-users] Asus KFSN4-DRE: no Wi-Fi nor sound

2017-07-29 Thread mcz
I know it's a server board, but I don't understand why my external Wi-Fi key  
isn't recognised with Wicd or sudo ifconfig (supposedly supported, a TP-LINK  
WN722N, Atheros version).


Ethernet works, but I don't see it in sudo ifconfig either??

As for the sound, in qjackctl I have a "system" device listed on a working  
PC, but here there's nothing.

My external USB soundcard is listed in alsamixer though.

gpg is way more secure if you have ecc as an option especially... probably  
more secure even without it though.


Trisquel 8 no doubt has ecc (use curve 25519 if possible)

The problem is that my brain was used to getting things easy. Probably they  
wanted to keep things easy for the user, so that he doesn't ask questions  
about software that he install on his machine. This is I believe Windows,  
mac, Ubuntu's philosophy. Keep it simple for the user and as hidden as  
possible.


I've tried to discuss these things with people around me and my conclusion  
was that they don't care about their freedom. They just want things to work  
and this is what others exploit.


If the Free Software Foundation were able to produce an alternative that is  
easy to use and also 100% free then the impact would be different.


I am trying to follow FSF's advice and try to contribute to existing projects  
but will be a long process for me because I lack a lot of knowledge at this  
point.


Thanks again for all your pointers, time and explanations!

>what does it mean to be free, how is the sensation.

It's good. Knowing that you are doing the right thing is always a good  
feeling.


>How heavy is the burden

Only thing I miss, and I'm very honest here, is some of the proprietary games  
I used to play. All the rest I can do on my system as I did before, only  
better, much better.


>What things I need to understand in order to be 100% free ?

Not much at all. You need a libre distro by default and you need to make sure  
you check the license of any software (addons, plugins, drivers, firmware  
included) you install outside of your distro's repository.
This page is very useful ->  
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#SoftwareLicenses


>One of the things I've discovered as a freedom trainee was that it is not  
very easy to be free


Unless your job requires you to use nonfree software (unfortunately this  
happens quite often), it is actually very easy **provided you really care**.



Have fun!
