[Trisquel-users] An issue about the Wiki-documentation

2017-12-06 Thread wdhgtx

Hello, world and everyone here! It's my first topic.

I don't sure that should I submit this on the "Issue" page, so I put it here.

I've improved this page:
https://trisquel.info/wiki/Writing_Japanese
It seems should be named as "Write in non-Latin languages". But I can't  
change the title.


And, on two pages:
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/all-manuals
https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/language-and-accessibility
Two links point to the page I've edited and a repeated one. It should be  
removed:

https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/writing-non-latin-languages

About me, I come from China, and I've used Trisquel for several years.

Yes, that's why I suspect it came from the mailing list.

I used Startup Disk Creator. DD seems to work better, but I wanted to see if  
SDC worked as well, which it does.


With Trisquel 7, Trisquel 8, and Uruk, my ThinkPad X60 has had trouble making  
it through the installation without freezing when I use the graphical  
installer. It may have something to do with overheating, as the fan is always  
on high when it happens. Trisquel has a text installer that works much  
better. However, it only took a few tries to make it through the Uruk  
installation. I didn't do anything differently the last time. My machine  
doesn't have UEFI, so I don't know if that would make a difference.


Trisquel 8 doesn't have firmware-ath9k-htc packaged yet, so Uruk doesn't  
either. You can build it or install via the deb file from  
https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-ath9k-htc


If you don't have access to ethernet, you could download the source or deb  
file on another computer and transfer it over.

IrishUSA, I've been lurking for sometime now...but I couldn't resist

How about "Purish"?

Glad to hear the quick review; here's my first impression:

I started the live system, made using the DD command and a USB drive. Screen  
reader and music cme up as expected; this is what I wanted.  Mate desktop,  
menus, and control center work nicely. My Think Penguin USB wifi adaptor is  
not recognized, and I cannot connect, yet, lsusb shows it to be present. I  
have not yet tried a wired connection. Your observation that installation  
took many attempts gives me pause re: installing onto a machine having UEFI.   
What did you do, in the final attempt, that resulted in a working system?

To search packages related to guile, open a terminal and type this:
apt-cache search guile
You will see a list of packages matching your search. To get information  
about one specific package, for example 'guile-2.0', run

apt-cache policy guile-2.0
And you will get the version available and the version you have, if any,  
installed.

You can get easily the missing packages from the ubuntu xenial repos.. gnome  
did work for me, i use lxqt atm.

Lxde worked for me as well ;)

I made a fresh clean install, because i couldnt fix the gpg problem but maybe  
someone else knows how to do so...


Re: [Trisquel-users] Upgrading to Trisquel 8

2017-12-06 Thread leestrobel
I'm hoping that the upgrade would have removed Upstart and installed Systemd,  
but if not then that might be behind some of the booting confusion.


I actually didn't bother with apt-get upgrade and went straight for  
dist-upgrade and it seems to have removed some packages that weren't present  
in the Flidas repos. I think one of the ones that had issues was  
'gnome-session', which sounds like it might fairly important.


So, how do I fix the issue with the gpg keys? Do I need to download a new key  
file from somewhere for Flidas?

No, unfortunately not. I really want to use LXDE, so if it's got broken  
dependencies then I'll have to figure out how to fix those packages ;-)

> I installed the full version and then changed to LXDE from Gnome

LXDE doesn't work in Trisquel 8 yet. It still has some missing/broken  
dependencies. Did you have any other DEs or WMs installed alongside LXDE?


Re: [Trisquel-users] Upgrading to Trisquel 8

2017-12-06 Thread toni . schultheis

I installed Trisquel 8 nearly the same way...
I took a trsquel7 mini install and updated it until it got the new gpg keys  
from 2017.. After updating i changed the sources.list to flidas and had  
therefor no gpg errors... Then i had to only switch to systemd, because  
upstart wasnt working properly anymore.. There might be some packages which  
arent in flidas/xenial which you can uninstall, but besides that everything  
worked for me fine this way! 


Re: [Trisquel-users] Using VPN and Trisquel

2017-12-06 Thread andre

Thank you all!

If you have VOIP phone, then I guess you can't use the VOIP phone connection  
and the VPN connection at the same time.


I've seen ads for the Think Penguin VPN mini-router - can you use the  
mini-router and the normal internet connectien (for VOIP phone use) at the  
same time?

Interesting indeed... If it would be possible to change the preferred
company. ;)

Or better yet, have a direct email or phone with which one could talk to
the web design department of that company... and keep calling them at
least once a month. ;)

So far I managed to get 3 out of 10 companies understand my message, and
I'm not the only person who benefits from this, it's everyone else who
happens to be a client of that company. ;)

It's nice that your parents are using GNU+Linux.  My mom doesn't like
using GNU+Linux, because she only uses PCs for doing stuff that her
tablet and phone can't, which is usually accessing some company's

While this is true, it may be wise to cautiously avoid writing it in the

Re: [Trisquel-users] uruk gnu/linux 2.0

2017-12-06 Thread masonhock
I've had a chance to try some of the features that are supposed to be  
different from Trisquel.


(1) mate configuration and control center
The default mate configuration is indeed better than Trisquel's. WIN launches  
a menu with items grouped into "system," "places," and "applications", plus a  
search bar that can launch applications. Uruk Control Center looks nice and  
is intuitive.


(2) package manager simulator
Runningsudo pacman -S icecatinstalled IceCat as expected, so that feature  
works, although I don't see a use for it.


(3) installing from source
Tested with this.u-src youtube-viewer-3.3.1.tar.gzgets stuck atchmod: cannot  
access 'configure': No such file or directory

sudo: ./configure: command not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.
/usr/bin/u-src: 14: cd: can't cd to pwd
rm: cannot remove 'youtube-viewer-3.3.1': No such file or directory


(4) guix installer
Did not work, as described in my previous comment.

(5) being finished
I'm not sure how Uruk 2 can be considered out of beta, or even out of alpha,  
when it has all of the same missing and broken packages as Trisquel 8 alpha.




Re: [Trisquel-users] Upgrading to Trisquel 8

2017-12-06 Thread leestrobel
Most of the packages seemed to install just fine, although a handful had  
dependency issues. The system isn't currently booting up, so one or two of  
those must be critical.


I'll have a look at those broken packages and see if there is anything I can  
do.

 'any porn sites working without js?
Appropriate.

'any libre uncensored 10+ tubes?'
Highly inappropriate.

Anyway, most PC stores receive laptops to backup format and reinstall because  
the user watch porn and got infected by viruses. However that is hardly any  
worry for a GNU/Linux user, since most malware will target Windows and not  
other systems.


Apart from that, not using JS and maybe using Tor will be enough. TBB with  
security settings in like... medium will be enough for 99% of the websites.

Wish I could have one of those. The Apple design with more freedom than I

To answer the OP yes I run Trisquel and even had my parents move their  
computers to Trisquel too (one of them is still running Debian anyway, but  
Main repo only).


Re: [Trisquel-users] trisquel 8

Thanks.
It's good to know that even if work on Trisquel stopped right now, we would  
have a Free OS for another couple years with security updates (by that time I  
hope some other solution would already be present).
I am using T7 however I did install some packages from the original  
developers sites (using PPA or deb files, I don't usually build from source)  
to get the latest version when necessary. With T8 I would be fine for years  
to come. However I hope we get a stable release soon (at least before it  
becomes outdated itself lol).

I've been using Trisquel 7 for 2 years now and now have installed Trisquel 8  
for several months and have had almost no issues with it. I do all types of  
coding and media work on it and it does the job for me.
