Re: [Trisquel-users] about printing
Would anyone know if it has the printer tracking function? You can check it with a blue light. You can also use one of the following tricks to check if the dots appear : Making the dots visible By design, it’s nearly impossible to see the dots with the naked eye, so you’ll want a way to magnify any page that you want to inspect. Using a microscope or magnifying glass with magnification power of 10x or better to view a blank part of a printed document should allow you to see the dots, if they exist. If you want to make it easier, use a bright blue LED flashlight in a dark room, which should turn the yellow dots a dark blue or black. If you have a good quality scanner and a graphics program that can zoom and invert the colors, you can also find the pattern, which should repeat itself throughout the page. source: https://eu.azcentral.com/story/money/business/tech/2017/06/09/your-printer-tracking-you/379755001/ And I want to print my works on postcards. I already printed them, more than 100 postcards, but I cannot put a picture on the exact center of a paper This can be related to built-in margins in the printer's options. I faced this problem once while printing cd covers. First check if the margins are set to 0 in Trisquel's parameters. If the problem persists, you can try to disable the built-in margins by printing from the commandline : lpr -o page-left=0 -o page-right=0 -o page-top=0 -o page-bottom=0 ファイルネーム.pdf
Re: [Trisquel-users] enigmail gone after upgrade
Unfortunately the newest icedove with the newest enigmail plugin from mozilla website does not work. So I'll keep the old version until something changes. I tried on a newly upgraded computer and I've been able to install the latest release of enigmail (2.1.6) on Icedove 68.7.0 without problems. I took the addon file from enigmail's official website : https://www.enigmail.net/index.php/en/download/download-enigmail You should double check this, as using an outdated version of enigmail and/or gpg may lead to several issues. You could, for instance, be unable to add public keys that use recent encryption methods. This is also a bad thing if you cannot encrypt with those recent methods.
Re: [Trisquel-users] enigmail gone after upgrade
It is possible to downgrade Icedove using synaptic package manager. Simply select it from the list, then click Package>Force version. You will then be able to select the desired version and apply the changes. I recommend using the option "Block version" after downgrading so you can do other updates as usual.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Setting ip a server part II (at least)
What do you need this server to do? I recommend installing and setting up what you need as you need it. Precisely you may not need mysql, or any other database server if you only plan to host html files, or plan top use a flat-file CMS, like PluXml. Apache and the latest version of php is a good way to go for the beginning, you can then install any specific package when needed. A decent text editor, like nano, as well as some other useful commandline tools (syntax highlighting, midnight commander,...), are mandatory if not present on the system by default. I also recommend the use of let's encrypt. You can also give a try to YunoHost, for a fast deployment of multiple services, unless you really want to learn system administration.
[Trisquel-users] ImageMagick convert:not authorized
Hello, I had this issue while trying to convert some images into a pdf document whith ImageMagick, even with sudo. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42928765/convertnot-authorized--error-constitute-c-readimage-453/52661288#52661288 The workaround indicated in the topic worked well, but when I see the note on top of the post, I wonder if I should let things like this, or use a more reliable solution (it's on my local machine, not a server) : Note: the solution in this and other answers involves disabling safety measures that are there to fix arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities. See for instance this ghostscript-related and this ubuntu-related announcement. Only go forward with these solutions if the input to convert comes from a trusted source.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Recommended Music players?
I recently tried several music players after some comparison and I ended up chosing Sayonara Player wich seems a good choice for organizing and listening a music collection https://sayonara-player.com/ I searched something light that would let me do that simple tasks efficiently, without tons of features I never use. It is free software GPLv3. It associates a good looking interface with advanced files tagging functionality and cd covers search and download. Like Clementine, it has a smooth volume transitions between files, wich is a must have for me. It also features some web radios, including soma.fm that I like. I tend to use it with kid3 to tag a large number of files. Guayadeque is also a good choice regarding files tagging and cd covers handling as it is able to and write the cover image on files metadata for multiple files at once. Some sites claim Sayonara can also do it, but as far as I understand it just pastes the cover on the album directory. I also like installing the Python script Cd cover thumbnailer https://projects.flogisoft.com/cover-thumbnailer/ (requires nautilus for installation but works well with Mate after that), though it uses some extra ressources for displaying the covers.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Ubuntu Studio As Base for Next Trisquel? Trisquelize for Ubuntu Studio?
Hi ! I didn't read the full topic. Just wanted to say this quickly : Ubuntu studio is just a "realtime flavoured" Ubuntu, with good tweaks in system files and up to date repos. I personnaly use Trisquel for music production, as it is shipped by default with a lowlatency kernel, wich allows me to have around 20ms of latency (or less if I want) on an old core2duo, without much ram on it. You can easily use Vanilla Trisquel for your everyday and professional music production. You can also use a libre realtime kernel, quite easy to find nowadays, if you want some "turbo power". PAM is correctly configured by default. Most of the software in trisquel's repos are quite outdated, but I can recommend you some .deb packages I contributed to on LinuxMAO (french speaking) http://linuxmao.org/Trisquel. You can also select your libre software on Kxstudio web interface. librazik.tuxfamiy.org maintains the biggest repo (as far as I know) of up to date musical software, with a lot of packages you won't find anywhere else. Feel free to ask help on linuxmao !

Hi I use both Trisquel 7 and Trisquel 8 and don't experience any problems with sound. I even use those systems for realtime music production. To help you with the issue you're facing we need more informations about it. Have you checked your soundcard ? Have you checked sound parameters ? If you use trisquel-mini, I recommend installing the package pavucontrol. Have you tried with another sound server (e.g package qjackctl) ?

[Trisquel-users] Re : Installing Trisquel on EFI
Thank you for your answer. I can neither boot from legacy mode nor from efi. I think this is because there is no efi boot partition with a GPT partition table correctly installed on my hard drive. I will try with Debian testing. On the french forum we have found this wich is particularly suitable https://www.forum-des-portables-asus.fr/forums/threads/plus-de-choix-windows-boot-manager-pour-booter-uefi.8316/page-3 It gives informations on how to recover the disabled SATA HDD. If it works I will traduce the info here.
[Trisquel-users] Installing Trisquel on EFI
Hello, after having unsuccesfully tried several ways to install trisquel on an efi system, I come here to get some help. I successfully booted and installed trisquel about ten times, always with the same issue : grub can't install because it "can't get the canonical path of'cow'". I am aware that some operations must be done when booting (checking whether it is legacy boot or efi boot) and that a GPT partition table with a bios-grub partition must be created before installation in case of a legacy grub install. I tried but am not sure if it was really succesful, because my HDD still can't be selected to boot in the Bios : The PC is an Asus R900V with an internal hard drive recognized by the BIOS under Sata devices on port 0. Works perfectly when I work with it on a live system, but can't select it on the Boot device priority option. Here is only listed the DVD drive or the USB flash drive when I put one. Here comes the question : can the HDD absence from boot options be due to a wrong grub install ? And also : can someone explain me the easiest and most reliable way to install trisquel on this computer (I mean EFI vs Legacy boot)?

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do I make a live DVD or live USB on Windows 10
You may have an issue booting on a live USB/CD on a windows 10 computer due to the way it handles UEFI. When I succeeded I had to click on windows 10 icon whith CTRL key pressed (maybe another key don't remember well), then click on restart. This opened a blue parameters window wich allowed me to select a boot option designed for booting on a windows rescue CD. Then it restarted and I had a proper access to legacy boot options in the bios. Search the web or windows 10 documentation for accurate information about this process.

Dunno sorry. Maybe in your keyboard parameters, there must be an option as described in your tuto for xfce.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Touchpad on/off shortcut
Oh ! I made a mistake : desactivating touchscreen is specific to xfce (though some recent DE like cinnamon may offer this option too). Desactivating the touchpad should be easy to do on every DE. Some people use this https://launchpad.net/touchpad-indicator, but the script you linked to seems pretty simple and efficient.

It will work, but only if you install xfce desktop environment. This option is specific to xfce. Once you have the correct DE, there is nothing complicated, you'll have a nice button.

Hello just to talk about this software I use quite often. It allows us to write in japanese (katakana/hiragana) with our keyboards and has a huge kanji dictionary with automatic recognition based on pronociation. It is made for windows and one can use it very simply with wine (out of the box, 2 seconds install with the .exe). I just discovered it is free software (GPL), so i wonder if it is difficult to make a .deb from the .exe or from the sources and to put it in trisquel's repo. It seems one must go there https://devel.trisquel.info/trisquel/package-helpers/blob/belenos/CONTRIBUTING.md to contribute to the repos, but I don't clearly understand what are the skills needed to maintain software up to date or to add them. I don't even know if the devs would let me do that.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Using Evolution Mail with mailbox.org
No, but I remember I spent a long time configuring my accounts in evolution the first time.

It's been a year and a half and a lot of people are still ignorant about digital freedom, but some like me came to the free softawre world directly because of that. It's right saying nothing is really gonna change during the 5 years to come for example. But if every free software user now tells everyone he can how to protect their freedom, if schools organize events about it and use free software, if people create their own medias and talk about it, if they also think about adapting their computer use on their real needing. A lot of things can change within 10 or 20 years. I think communication and education, wich means having a real social life, is the key to a lot of things in our modern world.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Librem 15: A Free/Libre and Open Source Laptop That Respects Your Essential Freedoms
sasaki - do you really think that to those 1.2 billion facebook users a concept like privacy (real life or digital) really means something? I don't. A little amount of them is aware of the shit it is but keep using it. Schools are teaching us how to use microsoft and google software because of business or because the teachers are not good computer users. Our generation has grown with computers and it is us who have to teach the largest amount of people how to use it properly. It is very important because the generation to come is growing under facebook, windows and google influence. It is quite the same about my friends and I agree it is a GIANT problem. Nevertheless is think that it is a matter of imitation : the more people use skype, the more their friends use skype. It is the way the big industries do their job : hypnotizing people with ads and letting fashion finish the work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6lHm-stXdM If we talk about it together (hundreds of people talking about it for a year or two and mixing their ideas), couldn't we find some solution and do it (doing it is very important two...). I mean this is just the way the big industries planned to control almost everything, and are trying to do it now. By the more, a lot of apps, or most of them can be easily replaced by free ones. The biggest matter is hardware, isn't it ?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Librem 15: A Free/Libre and Open Source Laptop That Respects Your Essential Freedoms
Maybe, starting companies and education are both things to be done. Here, in france, we have french data network who gives access to internet in a way that respects freedom and privacy. The branch in my city also offers hosting services on virtual and physical machines. Maybe are you talking about that kind of initiative ? Can you precise what you call the entertainment issue ?
[Trisquel-users] Re : I accidentally burned an ISO to a flash drive containing files.
Thank you for this helpful post, it will help me too as I had the same problem, but with my external hard drive (copied an iso on /dev/sdc instead of /dev/sdb...). I have only writen a 3Go iso on a 300Go hard drive and formatted. I'd like to know how long it could take to recover my data from this hard drive. If it is too long i will give it to a pro data recovery enterprise.
[Trisquel-users] Re : how to combine an audio track and video file?
you can also do this with the preinstalled video editor in trisquel : pitivi. I personnaly have some problems using it and find kdenlive easier to use.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Help with Evolution Email from this Forum?
Hello, I don't understand anything about german, but maybe you'll find some information here : https://telekomhilft.telekom.de/t5/Andere-E-Mail-Programme/Evolution-mail/td-p/647215 You can also contact the project devs : https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evolution I've just changed my default mail application from evolution to icedove (thunderbird fork), mainly because evolution doesn't displays correctly multiple pop accounts, but I encçountered some other little problems. Maybe you should give it a try.

I tried this on trisquel 6 and had to completely reinstall my system. So I guess I had some trouble with 3d acceleration wich is maybe needed for cinnamon ?
[Trisquel-users] Re : Resolution problem on laptop + some questions
I'll try it and post on the forum if I succeed.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Resolution problem on laptop + some questions
Abraham, Trisquel's repository contains some free console emulators, including psx. I let you check this out by yourself. If you like retro gaming, i suggest you to give a try to puppy arcade 11 wich contains many preconfigured emulators, including some recent consoles.
[Trisquel-users] Wifi card no more supported on trisquel 7
Hello, I had some problems with my wifi card (Edimax IEEE 802.11n Wireless lan pci card) wich I didn't have under trisquel 6. On both versions it wasn't recognized and I could not use wifi, but under trisquel 7 it continuously covered my terminal with this message : [ 1805.047780] rt2800pci :04:04.0: Falling back to user helper [ 1805.048301] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_reject_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware [ 1805.049133] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_reject_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file '/*(DEBLOBBED)*/' [ 1805.049137] :04:04.0: Missing Free firmware [ 1805.049149] rt2800pci :04:04.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 [ 1805.049151] rt2800pci :04:04.0: Falling back to user helper [ 1805.049521] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_reject_firmware: Error - Failed to request Firmware [ 1805.049658] ieee80211 phy0: rt2x00lib_reject_firmware: Info - Loading firmware file '/*(DEBLOBBED)*/' [ 1805.049660] :04:04.0: Missing Free firmware [ 1805.049668] rt2800pci :04:04.0: Direct firmware load failed with error -2 [ 1805.049670] rt2800pci :04:04.0: Falling back to user helper This made my cpu work at 100% all the time. So, following the advice of magic banana on the french forum, I firts installed linux libre 3.17 from jxself repo and it fixed my cpu problem, but I still had the message. So i tryed to blacklist related processes in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf : rt2800pci rt2800mmio rt2800lib rt2x00pci rt2x00mmio rt2x00lib But it didn't work. After having some boot problems and the return of cpu problems, even with tghe new kernel, I decided to unplug my wifi card and I had no more problems. I would like to be able to let my wifi card plugged, even if it's not recognized by trisquel to be able to use it with another distro in case of need. I would also like to know if I can come back to the default kernel without issues.
[Trisquel-users] Re : Sound problems with Trisquel 7
Have you tried the version 3.17 ? It solved my wifi card drivers problems. Have you checked your cpu architecture ?
[Trisquel-users] Re : trisquel-mini performances
Thank you for the tip of restarting lxdm. I'll check this the next time I use this computer to see if the problem came from here, then buy some more ram and install trisquel mini 7. @lembas : I'm not able to package any program. I have to practice a lot before.
[Trisquel-users] trisquel-mini performances
Hello, I'm a new trisquel user (installed it some months ago) and I use both trisquel and trisquel-mini (6.0.1) on different computers. I noticed that my install of trisquel-mini on a relatively good computer (Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.40GHz, 512 Mo of ram, Nvidia Ge force 2 MX200), was quite slow. So I tried to search on the web for informations about trisquel-mini and I found this comment on a trisquel test : http://desktoplinuxreviews.com/trisquel-reviews/trisquel-6-0-lts/ My installation of Trisquel Mini 6.0 to an EeePC 701 lasted less than 24 hours. Why? lxdm-binary was hammering the cpu hogging resources, so nothing else could run properly, yet it could not be removed replaced because of broken dependencies with the alernatives. cpufreqd would run only at 100%, regardless of configuration. The desktop was automatically covered with folders, regardless of configuration. Too many useful genuinely FLOSS applications are not available in the Trisquel repository: just how ‘free’ does FLOSS have to be before the Trisquel dictator accepts it? Trisquel Mini is NOT light, it still uses a PAE kernel. AFAIC, it’s a bug-ridden pile of garbage. Failed: it doesn’t ‘just work'; I take a ruthless approach to operating systems. I’ll stick with MadBox 12.04, which is perhaps the ONLY genuinely light Ubuntu-based derivative available, use the free repository. I'm quite a noob in linux, so I decided to post here to see if someone could explain me that commentary. Isn't there any way to obtain good performances with trisquel-mini as this guy seems to say ?
[Trisquel-users] Re : trisquel-mini performances
You mean the apps I use could be the main problem ? It's right that I sometimes use two or three apps at the same time : GNOME Mplayer for music and abrowser or midori for browsing for example. I also often use audacity. Now for example, with midori opened and a movie copying from my hard drive to a usb stick my cpu is 100% used all the time with half of my ram memory. Should I run only one app at a time to have a good speed ? Can adding some ram fix the problem ? Concerning my graphics card I renounced using 3D apps until I have no money for buying an intel one. I can't find any of my graphics cards, even the olders, on h-node.
