Re: [Trisquel-users] alternatives to samba
If you decide to use SSH you should use rsync to sync files through it. It'll compare files by date, size, etc. and make sure directories are the same... if not, it syncs them together. Pretty great program.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Did Google just make a blobless kernel for the Rasberry Pi 3...?
Tivoization is a problem, for sure-- but as it stands, LineageOS and AplineLinux developers (etc) only have to work around the hardware/software restrictions on flashing a new kernel. Having to work against those *and* now even having the kernel, ports like that will be very difficult and more time-consuming, and upgrading to newer OS and kernel versions on ports will be more difficult. The loss of copyleft in the smartphone field would be no small loss.

Re: [Trisquel-users] System 76 Is Coming Out With a Free Distro
It's like those OEM-modified Windows images-- e.g. Dell laptop with Dell wallpapers, pre-installed with drivers, etc. This just brands some things (like wallpaper) "System76" and pre-installs the System76 drivers. It's nothing worth note... it isn't supposed to *truly* be different from Ubuntu-GNOME, just to make things smoother for users of System76 PCs. Why bother trying to get them to make this libre, when they're clearly just trying to stick to Ubuntu-GNOME? It would make more sense to try to convince them to switch to a libre system and then make their own rebranded and driver-added distro off of that. But again, they won't. This is System76, the want to make sure they have a smooth ride for the Ubuntu users who buy their PCs. Their market is only nominally the "open-source crowd," and not at all the "libre crowd."
Re: [Trisquel-users] do you use tox?

A lot of authors don't have PayPal/Patreon/anything like that, though. :/

Re: [Trisquel-users] Canonical is killing Unity 8, will ship GNOME as default
The way I see it, enterprise editions are bad because they're proprietary-- but at least profits are funnelled into the development of libre software. If Canonical just kept developing convergence etc and died, that's one source of funding gone. Besides, a lot of people and enterprises use Desktop-- it won't be a priority anymore, but development will certainly be active and there'll be less radical changes. Is that so bad?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Canonical is killing Unity 8, will ship GNOME as default
GNOME 3 is a fantastic DE, now. It's great that Canonical's going to stop fragmenting the community with Unity & Mir and put some money into a more universal project. (That's also way more stylish!)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8.0 proposal: Include Guix

Re: [Trisquel-users] Second monitor with WindowMaker
Heck, I'm not sure if this is particularly applicable, but on a non-Trisquel
system I've used, I had the same problem.
Tooling around with xrandr for a while ended up being the solution-- the man
page ("$ man xrandr") is very useful.
"$ xrandr" will show you the config of your screens currently--
one of the screens should be listed as "off" or "disabled."
Then run the command "$ xrandr --output [SCREEN] --auto" where [SCREEN] is
the output previously listed as "off."
That might get everything up and running-- I hope one of our solutions gets
your setuput working. Good luck, mate-o. :)

This is all stuff we've heard before, discussion about it goes nowhere. We need a user board!-- Participate in development. Nothing is stopping you. When is 8 coming out?!-- Be patient. It's all going downhill!-- Trisquel 8's taking just about as long as it took Trisquel 7. Nothing's going downhill, at least development-wise. Some pretty radical things have happened with packaging, judging by the last blog post. This forum is also alive, active, and very well. We need blog updates! It'd only take ten minutes to write!-- It wouldn't take much time to write a post, but Jesus, what's the point? The overall sentiment seems to be "We need more communication," when the amount of communication has been the same since Trisquel 6 and it hasn't mattered until now. All of sudden, this is a problem and people are freaking out. Really, just be patient.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone using LibertyBSD? How does it compare to Trisquel?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 8 Desktop Environment.
I'd say stick with GNOME fallback or something similar. It's simple, familiar, and stylish-- which is perfect for your average home user, a target audience for Trisquel.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Anyone using LibertyBSD? How does it compare to Trisquel?
I use LibertyBSD as my primary OS and it runs very well. You should note that hardware support is worse than that of Trisquel-- a very noticable bit that's missing is support for athn (ThinkPenguin wifi dongles). It runs just as well as Trisquel, other than that, and follows the Unix philosophy a little more closely. If you want to use a quality and simple OS (there's a single comprehensible source tarball, for example) and learn some things about BSD along the way, you'll enjoy LibertyBSD. :) Sidenote: Absolute OpenBSD (2nd edition) is a fantastic book that outlines some it's more obtuse but powerful features. You don't need it, but I highly recommend it.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Open source cloud storage

The respect for our members' privacy is our priority, which is why we do everything to ensure the security of the data that is entrusted to us." Their Terms of Service doesn't say they may access/they own your data, as some other services do. Technically, you can't verify that Openmailbox doesn't snoop on your data, but you can't do that with *any* cloud service. Openmailbox, however, seems to have a commitment to privacy, so it seems more trust-worthy than other services.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Open source cloud storage
I'd recommend ownCloud. IMO it's the most polished and professional fully Free Software cloud storage platform. It's supported by pretty much any device (GNU|Linux, OSX, Windows, Android/Replicant). You can host your own server or use someone else's server (often for a small fee). I like Openmailbox as an ownCloud host-- they have reasonable prices for storage and are dedicated to privacy.

True, but it didn't say they record IP addresses. And even so, that's a rather cumbersome method of finding someone's phone number.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Should I wait for Trisquel 8?
If you're having issues with wireless, this could mean that your wireless card requires non-free firmware. If that's the case, these problems will probably probably persist with Trisquel 8. If your graphical issues are due to your graphics card, that means your graphics card probably requires non-free firmware, as well. Would you mine giving us the output of "lspci | grep Netwrok" and "lspci | grep Graphics"?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Windows and Ubuntu Might Become the Same Thing?
I don't mean to be rude or anything, but what're you smoking, mate? > I am a very intuitive person Intution means nothing if your intuition is shit. Snaps is nothing more than Canonical trying to make it easier to distribute software for Ubuntu and, so it seems, with more security when used with Mir. If there's anything remotely close to malice, it's that Snaps'll push for the usage of Mir, but that's not even really malicious-- that's just because X11 doesn't support the necessary security features Mir does. Canonical isn't trying to make Ubuntu more and more non-free, they're just trying to make Ubuntu more and more popular. What this means is that they need to keep including software that will be convenient and useful to their users while also maintaining a friendly relationship with their "open" community. That nice balance, right now, is offering non-free software and including some driver & fw blobs. What you suggest could be occuring isn't in their best interest, so it probably isn't happening.

Hey, mate. There's a handy tutorial in the Trisquel docs: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/customizing-trisquel-iso It looks like that'll let you do what it seems you want to do. I can't help but think that it would be simpler (if the ISO would only be for your own use) to install the software semi-manually every time you installed Trisquel. Like a shell script that installs the packages in one long or multiple "apt-get" commands.
