[Trisquel-users] Re : Leaving Trisquel over systemd Concerns, Fantastic Project Otherwise, Thanks
My x200 libreboot froze quite a few times. Even when using Hyperbola. (...) Systemd may or may not be the culprit. Impressive: you even blame systemd for freezes you get on a distribution that does not support systemd.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Influxdb
If you trust the company behind that program (given their "open core" business model, I would not), here is a .deb they provide for your architecture: https://dl.influxdata.com/influxdb/releases/influxdb_1.6.3_i386.deb Double-clicking on the downloaded file should launch GDebi that will propose the installation (otherwise install the "gdebi" package, which is in Trisquel's repository).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree X200 Review
That is interesting, so I was wise to get the X200 then. Probably more battery life to the X200 I imagine. Maybe by one or two hours.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Leaving Trisquel over systemd Concerns, Fantastic Project Otherwise, Thanks
I suppose its possible that it had to do with the meltdown/spectre patches for linux-libre/linux-libre-lts... When those bugs were discovered, for at least a few months I had trouble having that same issue. My x200 libreboot froze quite a few times. Even when using Hyperbola. I dunno if this sounds likely though for now, I haven't had that issue nearly as much less than a month ago... Though on occasion it happens from time, to time. But yeah, mostly the problem has subsided. Systemd may or may not be the culprit. That is all I will say.
[Trisquel-users] Influxdb
Hello Is there any way to install new version of Influxdb in Trisquel ? The one included in package is very old 0.10 compared to some 1.6.3 . I need 32-bit version though
Re: [Trisquel-users] Leaving Trisquel over systemd Concerns, Fantastic Project Otherwise, Thanks
@jxself i mean, to be fair, systemd is crap. i run it on all my systems though without issue
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree X200 Review
btw the X200 and T400 are exactly the same performance-wise. same CPU and GPU, same RAM. the only major difference is the keyboard size, screen size and a few other physical aspects, but it's the same hardware inside
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree now selling libre routers with libreCMC preinstalled :)
Apparently, u-boot can be upgraded within LibreCMC if you build the correct image (if the default build does not already support this - I do not know). Hopefully, the minifree versions will support this feature (and provide links to working u-boot images). https://github.com/pepe2k/u-boot_mod http://www.8devices.com/wiki/openwrt:recipes:build_mtdblock0_writeable:for_u-boot_upgrade_with_writeable_mtdblock0_1_partitions I'm not sure if the manufacturer's u-boot can be easily built the source code provided (the build scripts might be missing) so I'm not sure it's free (although a free version could be made from it and flashed).
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree now selling libre routers with libreCMC preinstalled :)
one other thing... these routers are really hard to get in europe. most of them are in USA. so I import them in bulk from suppliers in the US. This means that european customers who buy from minifree won't have to deal with expensive USA-European shipping. Plus UK-European shipping is much faster than if you were to import one from USA yourself.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree now selling libre routers with libreCMC preinstalled :)
The wndr3800 as sold by Netgear already has a free bootloader (uboot) and they provide source code. This can also be replaced by uboot_mod, but freedom-wise this is unnecessary, though it may unlock more features. I'm currently waiting on a large shipment of these routers, and I will be re-flashing the bootloader on all of them. However, Netgear sells these routers with a non-free operating system. Minifree replaces that operating system with libreCMC, which is FSF-endorsed. These routers are then sold with libreCMC.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Minifree X200 Review
thank you for your review :) btw shipping times on minifree are really fast now. i was away in thailand for a while and then had difficulty with initial surgery recovery. me and my new employee have everything under wraps now. as of today, we have a backlog on the T400 orders (11 orders) due to stock issues: new T400 stock is expected in a day or so, so that backlog will clear this week. as for X200/X200T, those ship pretty much instantly now, when there is an order. my new employee is very good. much more efficient than i ever was. he now handles all flashing/shipping, and i just do emails. this allows me to answer emails quickly... and now i have time again to focus on actual research e.g. libreboot development
