I think such threads belong in the General Free Software Talk forum.

There's the General Free Software Talk forum for these discussions. This is a Trisquel-specific forum for its users.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Internet connection problem
I quote Magic Banana (nice nick BTW), the newest Network Manager upgrade doesn't work either, i had to downgrade again.

It should never happen. Well, unless, you specifically changed the
permissions with administrative privileges ('sudo chmod'). Can you show your
/etc/fstab?

If not, it > probably makes sense to just remove it from the repos Ubuntu 16.04 (and thus Trisquel 8) is based on a 2016 snapshot, so with the exception of Firefox/Abrowser and packages which have been specifically backported, everything in Trisquel's repositories is the same age as the this version of Ring/Jami. If we were to start removing or backporting packages just because they are old, it would have to be basically the entire distro. I think it is only worth doing this for packages whose version in the repos has a specific problem. Are you worried that the package being under its old name will be confusing for users looking for Jami? If so, that might be a good enough reason to backport it. It looks like the name change is relatively recent. Ubuntu 18.04 (and thus Trisquel 9) still calls the package "ring". It wasn't until Ubuntu 19.04 that "ring" became a transitional package that points to "jami", so without any backporting it will not be until Trisquel 10 that "jami" is in the repos. Since Ring is in Ubuntu's Universe repository, it does not receive security updates from Canonical, so if there are known security issues then that would also be a reason to backport. (We do this with Tor, for example). Are you aware of any issues like this? signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [Trisquel-users] Jami version in the Trisquel 8 repos is still called Ring
Also, I went to the Jami download page to try to add their repo, so I can get a more updated version, but I'm a bit confused. They only have manual install instructions for various versions of Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, and I suspect my browser isn't displaying the page properly, because whichever I select, the instructions are exactly the same. That doesn't seem right. I've asked on the fediverse for the Jami team to add instructions for Trisquel and mentioned the display problem I'm having with the website.
[Trisquel-users] ufw - WARN: / is world writable!
Hello, I do not speak English so I write this with a web translator. the same consultation in Spanish: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/gufw-warn-world-writable I have done a multiple installation with several distributions based in debian and in ubuntu and with all the same happens to me: on having installed the gufw, the following alarm throws me and the firewall does not work: WARN: / is world writable! | WARN: / is group writable! | since I could have seen in Internet this warning it appears when the permission of the directory root / is 777, and gets ready changing the permissions to 755 "sudo chmod 755 /". It seems that this arranges it but I would like knowing why it happens. In other computers, also with multiple starter it has never happened to me. The only difference is that in this occasion the starter is UEFI. But as it happens to me in all the distributions I wonder I will not be doing something wrong in the installation process. Is this normal? Thanks.
[Trisquel-users] Jami version in the Trisquel 8 repos is still called Ring
The Trisquel 8 repos have a version of Jami so old it's still got the Ring branding. It's really not helpful to have this kind of thing in the repos. Is it possible to backport a newer version? If not, it probably makes sense to just remove it from the repos

qd, I completely agree with MB. Why don't you make a document about tethering?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Volunteer to write more regular blog posts for trisquel.info
A rather important topic these days is
https://trisquel.info/forum/internet-connection-problem
Many users, who enabled flidas-backports, may be stuck with no domain name
resolution or even no Internet connection and may be considering quitting
Trisquel. The latest update of NetworkManager does not fix the problems on
my system: it should be removed quickly (the Update Manager is still
proposing it) and a post on the main page could explain how to get a wired
connection (informing the IP address of any DNS server in the Network
Setting) and how to downgrade the problematic packages ('sudo apt install
network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6').
Re: [Trisquel-users] Turn off auto complete feature in LibreOffice Calc
nadebula.1984 is using a different version of LibreOffice My Standard Issue Trisquel has LibreOffice Version: 5.1.6.2, within which AutoInput is nowhere to be seen.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Turn off auto complete feature in LibreOffice Calc
Click "Tools" in the main menu, then deselect (uncheck) "AutoInput" (or something equivalent in your local language) and see what happens. I'm using LibreOffice 6.3.3 in Debian sid (unstable).
[Trisquel-users] Re : Internet connection problem
The newer version does not solve the problems for me: using Ethernet, the DNS server is not automatically set (I can only contact IP addresses, not domain names) and, I believe, I cannot establish a wireless connection to a network (using an adpater with the AR9271 chipset). I write "I believe" for the second problem, because I am at the university with a rather unreliable wireless network. So, after the update, I had to downgrade again: I added 80.67.169.12 as a DNS server in the Network Settings (and got domain name resolution); I executed 'sudo apt install network-manager=1.2.6-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 wpasupplicant=2.4-0ubuntu6.6' in a terminal.
