Re: [Trisquel-users] how to record the internet radio?
If you have a direct link to the channel you should be able to record using streamlink, wget/save as, ffmpeg. youtube-sl/hypervideo, plowshare or some other free software.
[Trisquel-users] how to record the internet radio?
Hi. How have you been spending this weekend? I would like to record the internet radio to save the internet traffic. Because it is limited to some GB per month. I use Clementine to listen to music. I would like to record a certain channel in this weekend. I did a quick search in this forum but there did not seem to be a good thread. And legally recording and using it privately is no problem at least in Japan. Uploading recorded stuff etc seem to be illegal. Thank you for your support in advance. Have the good rest of the weekend!

Or a song book and an acoustic guitar.

Re: [Trisquel-users] [Brother HL-L2320D]: Printer Does Not Install
UPDATE 3 Success! I downloaded the software from Github (https://github.com/pdewacht/brlaser.git), and followed the instructions on how to compile and install the program found within the file 'README.md'. After the program was compiled and installed, I proceeded to print a test page which did not produce the desired result. As the instructions for the software noted, CUPS might be needed to restarted, which I promptly did. After restarting the computer, I went to 'System-> Administration-> Printers', which opened the 'Printer Properties' window where I tried to print another test page, but, again, had no success. Looking within the 'Printer Options' setting, I noticed that the Resolution was '1200HQ'. I changed this, to '600 DPI', and then proceeded to print another test page, andit worked! I will now try printing different file formats to see if they do print as well, but, so far I am impressed that I have finally found a printer that now uses free software (GPLv2)!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
It's probably also worth mentioning that checking GPG signatures is also what the package manager does when you install programs from the Trisquel repo.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
Whether or not Chromium is free or not, which I don't think it is, security on chrome based web browsers is questionable. Meh... But its your call not mine. I don't run anyone elses life but my own. ;)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
Who knows. Didn't it happen with GNU/Linux Mint? https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994 Don't forget that kernel.org was also compromised. If someone cracks a server to replace the downloadable programs they could also replace the checksums if they live in the same place. The attacker already has access to do the first and, if the checksums live on the same server in the same place, it would not be hard to take the additional step to change them to match. So; all that checksums give you is that the file was downloaded without some accidental corruption; it does not tell you that it's the same file that was originally uploaded. For that you need something else like the GPG signatures I mentioned earlier.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
It's not helpful when the attacker can both add their own malicious version and also alter the posted checksums so that they match. How likely are we to fall victims of such an offence?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
It's not helpful when the attacker can both add their own malicious version and also alter the posted checksums so that they match. A better option is probably things like GPG signatures. Assuming that you trust the key (which is a whole different topic with assorted issues) then you can verify that a given file was signed with a given key.

Re: [Trisquel-users] [continued] how do I change the GRUB background image?
Thanks @strypey ! Yes, I figured this myself (during that chat), that yourrom.rom is actually a handler pointing to the "rom" in place (means the one flashed onto the system). If this is true, the commands can be used with "yourrom.rom" straight away. But I read several times (in the libreboot docs) that you ought to replace "yourrom.rom" with the appropriate rom you pick from a repos. (Maybe just during inital setup!?) So it's not 100% clear. (Alas the 160 ppl in the chat totally failed to give a clarification here; my gut feeling is the answers is pretty simple.) I keep on searching and will post the answer later. cheers!
[Trisquel-users] Re : Trisquel 8 does not boot after updating and upgrading
I do not think that is the error you committed. Maybe you ran 'sudo apt autoremove' after removing all jxself's kernels.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 does not boot after updating and upgrading
Ah, I think I see what my error was. By using "purge" instead of "remove", I not only removed the Linux kernel version that was causing me problems, but I undid almost everything I did when I added your linux-libre repo in the first place. A better approach would have been to use "remove", and then use "apt-get upgrade" (*not* "apt-get dist-upgrade"), instead of "apt upgrade" to avoid updating the kernel again until you told me the bug was fixed. Does this sound correct? I'm fortunate that my error left me with a bootable system and that you and Chaosmonk have been available to patiently help me get things back in order :) It's late here so I will follow your instructions tomorrow and report back on the results.
Re: [Trisquel-users] [continued] how do I change the GRUB background image?
Hi AyKay, what the users in the chat are trying to explain is that you are not looking for a file called "yourrom.rom", there is no such thing. Rather, it seems that "yourrom.rom" is a description of a thing you need to know the name of. This is like if I told you to run a command that addressed /dev/sdx. You will not find sdx in the /dev folder, it does not exist. Rather, /dev/sdx is a way of telling you where in the command to put in the address of the drive or partition you want to be the target of that command. Does this make things clearer? Sadly, I have not yet librebooted my laptop, so I can't advise you in any more details on how to find out what you need to put in place of "yourrom.rom" in that command. Others here can probably help?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
Oh, I remember nuclear now - weren't we looking at this a few months ago? It's an electron app, so the electron arguments will get started all over again. But I really liked this concept at the time, and it looks like it's much better and more stable now. Downloaded and listening to my favorite music as we speak, thanks for mentioning it chaosmonk!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
For a simple jukebox, I like using mps-youtube. It's in the trisquel repo. If you don't mind experimenting with new, independent, and freely licensed music, I've found a ton of great tunes on libre.fm.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
It says it's like mps-youtube, so yes, you should have all artists, including recent and popular. As long as they have stuff uploaded to youtube, you should be able to access it.
[Trisquel-users] Libre HTPC
Is there a recommended one? I know Etnaviv supports some SoCs with Vivante GPUs. https://github.com/etnaviv/etna_viv Do any of these boxes support free boot firmmware? Also, which distributions can be installed on such boxes (I assume Debian supports some of them)?
Re: [Trisquel-users] [continued] how do I change the GRUB background image?
Here is the answer from the Libreboot chat. > A: you need to get familiar with CBFS. "yourrom" means "your rom" = what you have installed installed = flashed > ME: *kindly askes for further details / explanations* > B: just leave it be if you're not willing to do your own research, "A" pointed you in the right direction. > A: "yourrom" means "your rom" = what you have installed -- Then there were some further comments that fall under "trolling" in my book, but maybe I am wrong and the answer is hidden somewhere between the line: -- > A: you could also say that by installing something, you "put it in" to the box you call a computer. If you put something in, and the box did not belong to a quantum physicist, you can usually take it out again. -- Seems, the Libreboot community doesn't really help here. So I repeat my question I posted in that (kind of hostile) chat: I'd like to change my boot background image. I found a thread in the trisquell forum saying "cbfstool yourrom.rom ..." does the trick. Alas, I don' know where to find yourrom.rom. Any pros around who can explain this to ppl that aren't familiar with the whole Libreboot matter?
[Trisquel-users] [continued] how do I change the GRUB background image?
[Please append to https://trisquel.info/en/forum/how-do-i-change-grub-background-image if appropriate. Thanks] Hi there. (According to the thread above) I am to issue this for changing the GRUB background image: $ ./cbfstool yourrom.rom remove background.png -n background.png $ ./cbfstool yourrom.rom add -f background.png -n background.png -t raw Alas, I can't find my yourrom.rom. In fact, there are zero .rom files on my system. (According to locate and find) I run a lenovo ThinkPad T400 with LibreBoot. Any ideas? Would appreciate any hints. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] Re : Spotify - or the like - in privacy
You can download the .deb file: https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/releases/download/v0.5.1/nuclear-7e3bac.deb If GDebi is installed, you can double-click on the file to install it. If you prefer the terminal, then execute from the directory containing the file: $ dpkg -i nuclear-7e3bac.deb
[Trisquel-users] Cyrillic text on python graphs, is that an OS issue?
Hello dear community! I want to have Cyrillic text on python graphs. I know how to that with python 2 on Ubuntu and with python 3 in another OS which I do not want to even say it's name (the company I work in, use that OS, so I must work with it), but I can not do it with python 3 on Trisquel, even if I use same commands. I wonder if it is an OS issue? Thanks for helps Farhad
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
In most cases I only install software from the Trisquel repo but for instance for Trisquel itself, replicant images etc I download the install files and verify them with shasum and gpg. I thought tha such verification is (or can be) crucial to security - but perhaps it is not as useful as I thought?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Verifying install files (Zotero)
Wasn't there also a case with Linux Mint?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
Thanks. I downloaded and extracted the zip-file. But I find no information about how to install. Can you help? There are some screenshots showing e.g. Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Do you know if will we have access to recent music from famous (!) artists via Nuclear?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Spotify - or the like - in privacy
Yeah, that might do for me but the kids want here-and-now choices - like their friends...
