Re: [Trisquel-users] Ruby won't compile, cannot install.
Hello, northernarcher! You need to install readline. Did ./configure kick out any warnings? I believe it would've caught this. You'll likely also need libssl, build-essential, and a half-dozen other packages. If you're building Ruby in order to build a Rails project, these are the packages you'll need installed before you get started: build-essential openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev automake libtool bison nodejs subversion For what it's worth, you might want to try using chruby (https://github.com/postmodern/chruby) and ruby-install (https://github.com/postmodern/ruby-install) as it will isolate your ruby versions and handle dependency installation for you. Keeping Ruby up to date is a bit of a chore and these two utilities will help. There are other build automation tools and version managers but these have worked the best for me. They're lightweight and don't do any of the silly tricks some of the other packages do. Good luck and Happy Hacking!
[Trisquel-users] trouble with ssl in midori on trisquel mini
If I attempt to trust a self-signed certificate in Midori on Trisquel Mini, it throws the following error: Error granting trust: Couldn't find a place to store the pinned certificate pkcs11:library-description=PKCS%2311%20Kit%20Trust%20Module Searching the Internet yields a Midori FAQ page stating that I need to do some gymnastics with gnome-keyring. I've done this and I still have the same problems even after reboots/relogins/etc. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'd rather not use another browser and this is getting frustrating. Thanks! cmh
[Trisquel-users] can't install xfce4
Any ideas? Here's the error I get while installing the meta package: Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/xfce4-session_4.10.1-3ubuntu5_i386.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) Thanks!

[Trisquel-users] hd video with abrowser
I was recently introduced to viki.com and noticed that in some (non-free) browsers, it provided an option for HD viewing. When I use Abrowser, it forces 360p and sometimes the subtitles are off. It looks like they're using Flow Player. Is there a way (using Libre software, of course) to get the HD option and have the subtitles keep up? It looks like an HTML5 player. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] Rendering non-English characters?
7. Fresh install.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Rendering non-English characters?
While I'm using Abrowser and not Firefox, this post appears to have resolved my issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=233851#c18 I installed the two debs provided and everything is peachy. I'm relatively certain those files are Libre. If not, please let me know.
[Trisquel-users] time settings and window snapping
A couple of questions for Trisquel 7: 1. Can I adjust the way the clock displays in the lower right panel? I'd like it to be in 24 hour time. My clock settings are for 24 hour time, but the panel clock doesn't reflect that. 2. Is it possible to snap windows to the side of the screen, sort of like in XFCE? I.E. drag a window to the side of the screen and have it automatically tile to half the screen size? Thanks a ton!
Re: [Trisquel-users] time settings and window snapping
After some digging, I discovered it's not actually the clock applet but the indicator applet. You have to change its settings in dconf-editor. See the attached screenshot for the location to make these changes.
[Trisquel-users] Rendering non-English characters?
How can I get Abrowser (and other applications) to render non-English characters? I've attached a screenshot of a Korean site and a screenshot of qGo's server list for Tygem. The squares should be a Korean character set. I have this issue with other languages as well. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] all-in-one computer options
My son really likes to use the computers at the local library and I've been looking to replace my mac mini which runs Xubuntu (I'm not sure Trisquel would have the necessary drivers). I believe an all-in-one would be a good fit here at home but I'm having trouble identifying one that might be friendly to Free Software. The ones at his library appear to be ASUS machines running AWE (http://www.awelearning.com/). I believe AWE might be a GNU/Linux variant because it has applications like tuxpaint installed, which my son immediately recognized from home. I like ASUS gear but their line of machines is quite confusing. It appears as if System76 has a good all-in-one, but it may be a little out of my price range. Is anyone running Trisquel on an all-in-one? Are there any known to be Free Software friendly? I'm off to comb h-node for the time being. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] all-in-one computer options
I'll have to sit down and try to get Trisquel installed some evening, then. I don't currently use the wifi with the mini, so that's good to know. What about graphics issues? Does that sort of thing work out of the box?
Re: [Trisquel-users] LAN party: free software recomendations?
Nexuiz (as previously mentioned) is an absolute blast. Minstagib with low gravity, grappling hooks, and a large open map is intense. Brutal DOOOM and FreeDOOM are an option that requires a little bit of setup, but it's worth it. Minetest (also mentioned) is a lot of fun with the right mods. BZFlag is a hoot. Don't let the graphic styling fool you, it's a lot of fun. The Bub's Brothers is a browser based (networked) game that has a lot of old-school arcade style games in it. I'd have to check the license on Warsow but it's another enjoyable FPS.
[Trisquel-users] orca screen reader in installer
I'm not sure if a new build was released or if I'm doing something dumb but I downloaded a fresh copy of the Trisquel desktop installer and it's plagued with Orca screen reader. It shows up during the installer, on the login screen, and after logging in. Is this user error or an issue with the installer?
Re: [Trisquel-users] EeePC minilaptop
Most of the Eee PCs on h-node have good reviews: http://h-node.org/notebooks/catalogue/en/1/1/Asus/undef/undef/netbook/undef/undef/undef/undef?search_string=eeesubmit=Search I'm running Trisquel on an X101CH and everything just works. Looks like the chances of it working with your setup are high if our reports mean anything.
Re: [Trisquel-users] securing trisquel
Is there a good way to get all of my network services talking to Tor like I can with Orbot on my Replicant device? I suppose that's a question for another thread...
[Trisquel-users] proper/practical use of tor
After the discourse in this thread: https://trisquel.info/en/forum/securing-trisquel#comment-48556 I asked about using Tor for all of my Internet traffic on my Trisquel netbook. Is it possible to configure all of my networked applications to use Tor, much like using Orbot on my Replicant device? Is that a good practice? Also, the Tor bundle comes with a pre-configured browser. How do you handle things like bookmarks and addons with that? I've got a handful of useful plugins in Abrowser and I generally like it better than the bundled Tor browser. Can I get Abrowser to talk to Tor? I assumed that was a bad practice. Sorry if this isn't the place to ask.
[Trisquel-users] securing trisquel
What are some good packages to help me lock down my Trisquel netbook? I've been using open wireless networks a lot lately in cafes and at work and I want to make sure I'm keeping ports closed and general access to my machine restricted. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] usb modem?
I suppose these days modems for phone lines are obsolete. Do any modems exist that function via USB? If so, are there any that work with Trisquel?
[Trisquel-users] todo syncing with replicant
Does anyone have recommendations for a TODO application that I can use on both Replicant and Trisquel? I'd rather it not be hosted by a third party and I don't mind manually making the sync when I connect my phone (moving files or whatever). I already use Tasque and I installed Mirakel, but I haven't done any digging to see if the two can export or do any sort of sync. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] [OT] pump.io clients?

[Trisquel-users] upgrade xfce?
I'm using XFCE installed from Trisquel's repos, but it appears to be 4.8. What's the best way to upgrade to 4.10? Download the source? Is a package availalbe? I don't want to introduce conflicts and break packages if I can avoid it. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] sound not working with headphones
I'm on an Asus Eee PC X101CH. Generally, everything works quite well. I'm having some audio trouble, though. Audio seems to work just fine until I plug in headphones. I can briefly hear the sound over the headphones and then the mute notification pops up and there's no sound. I've tried various pairs of headphones. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this. Thoughts? Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] sound not working with headphones
Unmuting while the headphones are plugged in causes the unmute notification to pop up, but no sound comes out of the headphones.
[Trisquel-users] libre gps hardware
Does any freedom respecting GPS hardware work? I've got a Garmin NuVi and it made me wonder if there was a worthwhile replacement. As far as offensive proprietary gear goes, this one is right up there with the worst. It seems that the small, single-purpose, electronics industry doesn't have a lot of momentum behind it in terms of Free Software. Thanks!
Re: [Trisquel-users] freedom friendly netbook
I'm using an Asus Eee PC X101CH with Trisquel. h-node has good information on it and the fixes from a related notebook (linked in the h-node listing) worked well for me. Newer releases of Trisquel worked out of the box. I replaced the hard drive with an SSD. I needed a pretty small/slim one, I wish I could remember the model number and size. It was a touchy replacement, but it works just fine once I got everything put back together. The only real problem is that video is super choppy on this machine because it's only got 1GB of RAM. I put 4GB of swap space on the SSD hoping for some slower RAM, but it didn't do much good. YouTube (via minitube) is pretty laggy, as is most any other video. Now that I think about it, that may be a graphics issue as well. I'm sure it plays video fine using Windows. At any rate, I'm happy with it. If you don't watch much video, it's a good little machine.
[Trisquel-users] small, silent server
Does anyone have recommendations for (preferably Freedom respecting) small, silent computers? Probably something with SSD disks. I just discovered my VPN service provides a static external IP and I'm considering hooking up some services locally from my home. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] freedom respecting video options?
I figured I'd roll two posts into one because they're somewhat related. 1: Is there a way to watch Flash videos without using proprietary clients? I'm interested in a subscription to the English subtitled Baduk TV from Go Game Guru, but it appears as if the videos are using Flash. Here's an example: http://tx0.org/74p (if that link isn't allowed because it links to proprietary software, please let me know). 2. Is there a good option for a freedom respecting replacement for the Roku? I've been gradually replacing all my devices with Free Software options and this (along with my phone) are my last holdouts. I really like my Rokus, but I'm not sure what options are available. I assume I'd have to build something with a Raspberry Pi or something simliar. Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] Space trading games
Does anyone know of any Libre games like tradewars, astro-empires, or eve-online? I'm looking for a space trading game, preferably 2d or browser based. A multiplayer component isn't necessary, but it'd be nice. Thanks!
[Trisquel-users] bookmarks and reading list
Does anyone have recommendations for a bookmark manager or reading list manager? Something local/offline would be just fine. I currently use pinboard, but I'm gradually moving away from SaaSS and other non-Free softwares. I generally like to maintain a list of articles and pages that I intend to check out later, but simply don't have the time to read right now. A one-click storage option would be nice. I rarely keep real bookmarks for any serious amount of time (and my browser should handle that just fine).
[Trisquel-users] A/V lag
When I view a video in most any application (totem, parole, mplayer, vlc, minitube), the video and audio are terribly out of sync. The video generally will start to stutter as well. I've noticed that zsnes suffers from the same issues. Could this be indicative of hardware issues or is there something I can tweak in software to handle this? I'm running Trisquel on an Eee PC (X101CH).

Note that I realize the initial output wasn't counting down. At night, it properly counts down to 3700K.
Re: [Trisquel-users] hw/swcursor on eee pc x101ch
Disabling acceleration didn't appear to change anything, but in editing that, it occured to me that I may not be using the intel driver after all. Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf as it was immediately after install: Section Device Identifier Default Option GLXVBlank on EndSection Is there a reliable way to discern which driver I'm using or is there a way to set/unset hardware cursors under that configuration? Thanks for the input!
Re: [Trisquel-users] hw/swcursor on eee pc x101ch
It's not an nvidia as far as I know. H-Node says it's Intel: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) (works, but without 3D acceleration) (http://h-node.org/notebooks/view/en/651/Eee-PC-X101CH) The system details show Graphics: Unknown. Is there a way to force the intel driver?
Re: [Trisquel-users] hw/swcursor on eee pc x101ch
The issue I had with the previous snippet is that I was unsure what the identifier string for my card would be.
