Re: [Trisquel-users] My system has been annoyingly lagging ever since I encrypted my system.

[nicolasrpmaia]

If it's what I'm thinking, then this is a known bug in Ubuntu and Trisquel,  
related to the swap partition. Perhaps someone here in the forums knows a  
fix?


I was having the same problem in Ubuntu before switching to Trisquel. When I  
installed Trisquel I deliberately didn't encrypt because of this bug.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Something I don't get about jamendo.com licenses

[nicolasrpmaia]

I'm baffled. Their licensing page says nothing about licensing per se, only  
pricing options.


A CC-BY would grant anyone commercial rights over the music, so why would  
anyone pay?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!

I thought setting up Unity would be less difficult though, but I'm happy with  
it now!

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!

I installed Unity Tweak Tool to disable all online contents from the Dash.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!

[nicolasrpmaia]

Yeah, I'm aware. The problem is, none of the alternatives listed at PRISM  
Break work for me.


Ideally, I'd choose ownCloud, but I don't have a desktop to act as a server.  
Also, I can't afford Kolab Now's paid service and git-annex is unworkable for  
a commandline-avoider like me.


It's not ideal, but it'll have to do for the time being.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Popcorn Time not working

[nicolasrpmaia]

Amazing! Installing the fonts did it for me! Huge thanks.

Do you find it too concerning to use the WebUp8 PPA? They seem pretty  
trustworthy, no?

Re: [Trisquel-users] Share your Desktop!

[nicolasrpmaia]

Alij, I recommend you take a look at this:

https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/how-install-unity-desktop-environment-and-create-session-entry-trisquel-70

Afterwards, I recommend you install Unity Tweak Tool so that you can disable  
the online features of the Dash, which are a privacy concern.


To install it, open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:freyja-dev/unity-tweak-tool-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool
sudo apt-get install unity-webapps-common

Done! You might want to remove the PPA after installing.

If you want Trisquel to look even more like Ubuntu beyond the Dash, open  
Tweaks (or maybe it's called System Settings in English) and change the  
Appearance to Ambiance and the icons to Ubuntu-mono-dark.


Let me know if it works for you.

Cheers.
