Trysquelanonymous, are you saying that you use alsa mixer and your sound begins working? Or are you just saying that your alsamixer opens and allows you to make adjustments, but still without sound?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Openmailbox is out of service?
Their forums seem to have an expired certificate that is causing problems as well. I noticed the error I was getting when trying to use their XMPP had something to do with a certificate but the client I used didn't give enough data to really go off of. Perhaps they have an IRC channel? If they do maybe more information can be gained there.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Dot matrix printer?
In some cases DOT Matrix is a necessary evil. If you need to print on carbon-copy forms and have the print go through all copies this is the only way to efficiently achieve it. You could also use a type-writer or Bic...but I digress. The best thing I can suggest is looking at what new models are available on the market and then trying to find them list at https://www.openprinting.org/printers If you happen to find a compatible device, please add it to h-node.org.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser not playing soundfiles - problem with libavcodec?
In abrowser, go into about:config and set 'media.libavcodec.allow-obsolete' to 'True'. Restart abrowser and it will no longer issue that warning. I suspect that upstream firefox disables older libavcodec implementations for a very good security reason, but I'm too busy to research that at the moment. Use this solution at your own risk. The better solution would be to have an updated libavcodec package offered in the Trisquel repos.

What a strange place for this topic. There really is no way to enjoy N64 games in true freedom is there? One positive aspect of using an old used console is that you're not financially supporting the company that made it, as it is used. Secondly, you won't be breaking any laws by legally obtaining cartridges. There are obviously far-reaching implications for one's freedom in terms of creating software for the device or changing the software you obtain. Ultimately each person has to make their own choice on where they will compromise.

Re: [Trisquel-users] FCC Rules might force Wifi router vendors to lockdown their firmware!
The other problem with the logic that the FCC is using is that if they are to follow through with this to try and control the spectrum they now have to lock down firmware and drivers for WiFi cards on computers and everything else. Also, I can put a really high gain antenna or a signal amplifier on a router without even bothering with firmware. Their plan just isn't effective at dealing with the issue and if it is causing more harm than good it shouldn't be done. If I can help you in any way Chris, just send me a message.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
The recent update has fixed the problem for me as well. Thank you to the developers for working to get that fixed. Again, I stress that these types of problems are a HUGE deal. I really would have liked to see some better communication to the community as to how this problem was going to be handled. If nothing else, as was said by another member there should have been a downgrade to abrowser 38 as a temporary option. Is there a policy in place for dealing with this type of thing? Anyway, thank you for fixing this

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Just as an experiment I recompiled abrowser from source from the Trisquel repositories. It took nine hours to complete but the end result was no different. I know that if I download the official Firefox 32-bit binary everything works just fine. This means that it must either be a change made upstream by Ubuntu or a change made for Trisquel. Now again,I have to ask: Why hasn't anyone been trying to resolve this? Why aren't we even getting feedback on this? This is not a minor problem when your primary and most functional browser is broken. I am not trying to critisize, but understand. Does anyone else feel like this should be getting more attention or is it just me?
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
Once you install abrowser 39 you can't downgrade back to 38. You can go to 33. The problem I have with Icecat is that it is so privacy and security oriented that it breaks sites. Normally that is not a major problem for me but there are a few that won't work at all because of the tight settings. Without a functioning abrowser, or one that problems get fixed quickly, I have a hard time recommending Trisquel to people that are a little less techy. Seriously, when is this issue going to get some attention, or at least be addressed by some devs in the bug tracker? I don't really care if it is upstream or not. What are we doing? Is there anything I can do to help with this? I'm not a developer but if there is some type of data I can collect I'd be happy to.

I second this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
There have been bugs filed and many people are experiencing this problem. Due to the fact that this is the default browser for the system and it is the most friendly to most mainstream sites I don't know why this is taking so long for there to be an official response. Are any maintainers actually looking into this problem right now? Understand I'm not critisizing or trying to downplay the excellent job that the maintainers do. I'm just trying to bring attention to the fact that this is a big issue and it has gone on since the update was made available and it still isn't fixed. If we ever want to attract new users, issues like this can't linger.

Re: [Trisquel-users] 'Abrowser' behaves strangely after a system update.
What is the quickest way to get this problem fixed? It seems like a major issue like this should be dealt with more quickly. Also, why is it that as soon as a new package version is available the old one is immediately removed from the repos? In a situation like this I'd like to downgrade back to abrowser 38 but can't. I had to go back to 33.1 instead.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Trisquel 7 feedback (with hardware details)

Re: [Trisquel-users] Evolution
I appreciate all the help that's been offered here and I don't mean to come off as a jerk. What I am looking for though, is whether or not someone can suggest a way to start fixing this problem? Evolution is a major package in Trisquel as it is a major piece of the gnome desktop. To simply ignore broken functions of a core desktop system isn't right and it's not the way Trisquel should run. I'm willing to help fix it if I can. I'm not familiar with the package though and I was hoping someone else might be.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Evolution
I know there are alternatives to Evolution. By and large I like the way Evolution functions. I have clicked on the empty trash option but nothing happens. It acts as if it is going to empty the trash but then it never does.
[Trisquel-users] Evolution
I don't know how many people here actively use Evolution every day, but I do. I've noticed one thing about Evolution. That is that with every major release of Trisquel (and I'm assuming ubuntu) something important stops working. The two big issues I'm dealing with under Trisquel 7 are that the trash won't empty when using IMAP and when I setup a caldav calendar Evolution isn't pulling calendar events in like it used to. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the best course of action to work toward resolving these problems?

[Trisquel-users] Evolution Mail is not emptying trash
I've been using Evolution Mail for a long time and I've found that it periodically shows quirks in its usability. The current version that is in Belenos refuses to empty the trash folder when using IMAP and mapping the trash to an IMAP folder. I've never tried using POP3 to verify how that works either. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I did run some searches to find a a resolution but I've not been able to find anything recent relating to this problem.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Nvidia G98M (Quadro NVS 160M) in Belanos
I did check the bios for a setting but there isn't one. I'm not seeing any way to use an alternate card. After looking at the differences in Toutatis and Belanos on this machine a little bit more I'm seeing that it seems to be gnome 3 giving me problems more than anything. I'm able to acheive a close resolution(off by a few pixels on the height) but gnome shell wants to present a scrolled view. If I move my mouse down to the bottom of the screen the whole screen scrolls downward. Has anyone experienced this?
[Trisquel-users] Nvidia G98M (Quadro NVS 160M) in Belanos
I recently updated a machine from Toutatis(12.04) to Belanos(14.04) and since doing so I can't get a decent video mode. The only available video mode that fits the monitor now is 1024*768 where as before I had a much higher resolution, of which I can't remember, that was the correct aspect ratio for the monitor. The video card is an nvidia G98M. This is a Dell Latitude e6500 laptop. I don't expect top performance out of it but I do want a nice video resolution. Can anyone suggest what I can do to resolve this?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Nvidia G98M (Quadro NVS 160M) in Belanos
My thing is that I know it worked with Toutatis and it worked as expected. There must be something I can change or adjust to allow it to behave the way it did before.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Wireless won't work :-(
I ran into this on a Dell E6500 so I took out the WiFi card that was installed internally and bought an Atheros for about $15 on amazon. It installed in the same slot and was detected instantly. Look on H-node for supported chipsets and make sure you buy the right style card for your machine.

[Trisquel-users] Default Privacy Settings in Abrowser
As has been discuessed on other forum topics there is a file under /usr/lib/abrowser/browser/defaults/preferences/vendor-abrowser.js This file changes default settings in abrowser such as privacy and UI settings. It seems like many of the privacy settings that are altered using this file cause issues with a fair amount of issues with different web sites. If you're a technical person you can go into the abrowser settings or even into this file and make the changes that are negatively affecting the site you're trying to use. If you're not a technical user you are left thinking that abrowser isn't working or is a piece of junk. I suggest that instead of making the changes quietly through this file why can't we do an extension instead? This extension could activate all of the settings that help protect privacy and make the user aware that it's on and it can cause problems with sites, but then allow them to turn it off when wanted/needed.

It seems a reasonable enough question considering that 32-bit Trisquel has it. Is this an error? Is this intentional?

Good point on both accounts. I should do that for the time being. None-the-less I am still trying to work out why these two most recent builds of abrowser have developed this problem.

[Trisquel-users] Abrowser secure page problems
I've recently done updates on my system and abrowser 30 was one of the updates. Since then I'm having problems trying to access an online bank account. The support group with the bank is of little help. The other secure page that doesn't seem to work anymore is the one for webmin. When I try to login to webmin I get a security error. I've listed it below: Security Warning Warning! Webmin has detected that the program https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1/right.cgi?open=systemopen=status was linked to from an unknown URL, which appears to be outside the Webmin server. This may be an attempt to trick your server into executing a dangerous command. Two other things to note. I have this problem on the windows build of Firefox 30 but not on the GNU/Linux Mint Build of Firefox 30.0. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser secure page problems
I should have noted that I have tried that. Also of note is that this is happening on more than one computer. Most secure sites are working just fine. Firefox 29.0 did not have this problem at all. There must be a recent change that triggered this.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser secure page problems
I ran across this as well. I suppose that it could be webmin, but something has changed in abrowser. Version 29 worked fine and still does. 30 is the issue. I would just go back to 29 but eventually whatever is causing this should be known or dealt with. If it's a bug we can have it fixed. If it's something that websites need to do differently, at least we can advise them of that.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Abrowser secure page problems
I figured out a setting in Abrowser that by changing allows access into webmin again. Still no luck on my banking site. If you go into about:config and change network.http.sendRefererHeader to a value of 2 it allows webmin. I'll try to dig into what the differences there are in the mint build of Firefox 30 and Abrowser 30 to resolve the problem with my bank site.

Re: [Trisquel-users] GUI for 7 Touchscreen in a car
I've also looked into using Enlightenment 17. They have a specific layout for small touch screen devices and for the most part it works pretty well.

Eye candy is not necessary but it never hurts when it doesn't impact performance, and in E17 it really doesn't impact performance.

This is something that I might not use at all, but if it is used at least it will be controlled by free software and I'll know exactly what it's doing and when it's off, it's off. Besides, I have a mobile tracking device already; it runs replicant but it is a tracking device none the less.

I was really irritated with those hosts after the recorded the show after the one RMS was on. Like someone else mentioned, they were simply bashing him when he couldn't defend himself. They went so far as to call him a pedofile. I actually created an account on their forums so that I could voice my opinion about it but then decided that they weren't worth the time or the thought.
Re: [Trisquel-users] HTML5 in Netflix... but with a price
It would require some non-free software somewhere in the system to work, yes. Trisquel wouldn't work with it and as far as I know it would be the first W3C standard that couldn't be implemented in Free Software.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Information about Trisquel
I used to use Slackware exclusively until I found out about the freedom issues surrounding it. I then tried GNUSense and I liked it but it wasn't as smooth a user experience as I had hoped for. To me Trisquel is just a smooth and nice user experience with the perk of being all free software. I don't really try to compare it too much to Ubuntu though I know that's what it is based on. I'm sure there are a couple other good free distros out there that I didn't try.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
I took some courses at the Art Institute for a bit and for every one of my art courses that required Photoshop or Illustrator, I used GIMP and Inkscape, respectively, and no one knew the difference. I think Chris is right, it will take a little bit of time to learn the way GIMP and Inkscape works but they are both very capable programs. And like he pointed out, there are plugins that can fill functionality gaps.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
It's not so much the geometry of the exterior case that attraced me so much as the overall size and the way it's built inside. The way they're cooling this case is very smart and most certainly unique.
Re: [Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
The x was just something I'd tagged on because Alucard was always taken everywher I'd create a login name. I kind of took it from one of the Castlevania games from an old console, the SNES I think. It was called Dracula X and so I just adapted it to AlucardX... And yes, I don't want any apples, but I do think that the cooling in this machine is brilliant. It is most innovative indeed. They did such a good job and then put non-free software on it so then chose to make it look like a trash can.
[Trisquel-users] New Mac Workstations - I wish they were free software friendly
I don't know how many of you saw the new Mac Workstations but I have to say, they are genius in design. You'll have to look at them yourself to really appreciate what they've done because the way that they've fit their components into the small, and strangely shaped case is amazing. Not only that but it runs quiet, is very powerful and has a very awesome method of cooling. I only wish that Apple could build hardware that was Free Software friendly. This does leave a nice little gap for Free Software oriented hardware sellers though ;-). I do realize the cost of developing something like this and putting it into market would be very very high, but wouldn't it be awesome if something so innovative as this were available from a company like ThinkPenguin? Okay, now that I've baited Chris with this I'm going to end my post. I know how far fetched it is to think that a very small company could successfully put something like this in the marketplace but I like to think that it is possible.
Re: [Trisquel-users] iPod Nano 5G
I also have a 5th Gen ipod video but it's running rockbox so I don't have to worry about the iTunes fiasco. I wish I could say the same for the ipod nano 5g.
